I am fairly sure that Buz's Bible is the KJV, which (correct me if I'm wrong) is considered one of the more error-filled and mistranslated of all of the versions.
As usual, your judgemental comment about ole buz are wrong again, Schraf. I own a KJV and other versions, but as I've stated several times on this forum, my user Bible is the old 1901 American Standard Version, which I consider to be the most literal and best of all translations, bar none. I also own and use both Greek and Hebrew interlinears for use when I want to get exact equivalents to from the Hebrew and Greek to English. You can't get more fundamental than that without a language degree.
Btw, the KJV is older, but was taken from what is known as the
Received Text or manuscrips. The 1901 ASB was taken from the Alexandrian texts some of which were older texts and imo, more accurate. But when the KJV was first translated, I believe that's the best they had so prior to the 20th century, it was likely the most accurate translation. There's not enough difference in the two to make a big fuss about though, imo.
