Changes to the ESV - 10 December 2009 |
|
It’s quite normal for Bible translations to be revised slightly a few years after they’re first published. This gives the editors a chance to improve punctuation and style, tweak details of the translation and so on.
The English Standard Version (ESV, which I love, and which we use for the readings and sermons at Emmanuel) was first published in 2001. A second edition appeared in 2007, and contains a number of these tiny changes. A representative of the ESV translation team has given a brief explanation. Most of the changes are pretty insignificant. A few, however, are worth knowing about, especially if you happen to be a preacher speaking to a congregation of ESV-users who might, in fact, have (very slightly) different versions.
Surprisingly, the ESV team haven’t published a complete list of these changes. However, the list below was compiled by Rick Mansfield, who was alert with some Bible software during the rather odd process by which the updated version was released.
Anyway, here’s the list of verses that have been changed.
