Hello all! I know it is out of the blue a bit, but I just wanted to share; I have begun slowly making my way through the 1599 Geneva Bible by Tolle Lege Press, and I must say that it is by far my favorite translation I have read - it is similar enough to the KJV to make memorization easy, and the footnotes have proven to be phenomenally valuable to my understanding of what I am reading. 10/10! Would recommend!

I got an old version of the geneva fifteen ninety nine too .
It and the KJV are accurate . The only reason i think it got replaced is due to all the footnotes in it .
Though some of those footnotes were quite accurate against the RCC .
I have read it as well . I will go see if its from TOLLE lege press .
But i do have the geneva too .

Hello, I did a quick proof check and found similar errors in the 1599 Geneva bible as is found in the KJV like Gen 13:15 which is contrary to what Stephen stated in his defence before he was stoned to death, that Abraham did not receive any inheritance/possession in the Land of Canaan, even to rest his foot upon.
Hello there! I will be honest, I am not sure I know all too much about the error you mean; if you are talking about Acts 7:5 compared to Genesis 13:15 would be my best guess, but I do not want to assume - if you could give me more detail and we could discuss it a bit more in length I wouldn’t mind at all! I appreciate the input!
I personally like the non-facsimile version a bit more; it just makes it a much more viable study/daily bible than the facsimile, as honestly I cannot read the facsimile very well.
