(RNS) In the days before spell check, printer errors occasionally crept
into the King James Version of the Bible. Here are some of the most
notable:
-- In a 1612 edition, Psalm 119:161 read "Printers have persecuted
me without cause," instead of "princes." Perhaps a Freudian slip by the
copy editor.
-- A 1631 edition now called the "Wicked Bible" had Exodus 20:14 as
"Thou shall commit adultery." The printers were heavily fined for this
lascivious mistake.
