"Geneva vs KJB Zechariah 9:9"


 
For Bob:

In the piece written about the Geneva vs King James, specifically in Zechariah 9:9, it is stated that the Geneva translators got it wrong.  Actually, if you research the origins of the word "save" you would notice it comes from Latin, and is actually the root word for the King James word "salvation" (as the Geneva translators did not even know the word salvation).  Saved comes from "salve".  It was believed by Noah Webster to be a greeting, SAVE, v.t.  [L. salvo.  As salve is used in Latin for salutation or wishing health, as hail is in English, I suspect this word to be from the root of heal or hail, the first letter being changed.  Gr.  See Salt.]

Many in the KJVO Movement, and others who see KJB as the best of the best yet reference other T.T./T.R. translations will explain to people that reading the KJB is not difficult, and the few words that are not easily understood, can be looked up in a good dictionary...so, I did just that, the 1828 Webster's for the word "saved".

That's it, and hope this is somehow edifying.
