One unnoticed but significant contribution the AKJV made to truthful translation of Scripture and is an improvement on the LXX even, exists in its rendering with "the selfsame day" of the phrase 'etsem yom' in sixteen plus occurrences in the OT (with one meaningful exception in the 3 instances in Leviticus 23:28,29,30).

Please explain the significance of this amendment. How does it affect our understanding of the process of salvation?

I found your 'request' nothing but sarcasm. I am not here to make myself the object of anybody's ridicule or contempt.

Sorry you think that.
I see no vital distintion in the words you claim are vital. If you will not explain ok.
It convinces me that there nothing of importance in that distintion.

There's no 'amendment' nowhere in what I wrote. There are 'distinctions' made, but who knows which one may "'affect our understanding of the process of salvation'".

Salvation in any case should not be 'affected' although unfortunately it mostly is.

Two negations, two rejections, two shows of soul's contempt, the one trying to outdo the other on covertness and subtlety.

Neither bluff me. I return the contempt, but fearless and openly.
did I miss something?

well, you didn't give a lot to go on wadr, I'm not seeing a material diff in "that selfsame day" and "that day" myself? Maybe a bit redundantly clarified? Not a bad thing iow, but?

ha I don't get why read many Bibles when you can read One Bible
Genesis 1:1 Interlinear: In the beginning of God's preparing the heavens and the earth --
though I often ref the cheater myself,
Genesis 1:1 Lexicon: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

why let scribes in the middle imo

The answer is without the original autographs there's always scribes in the middle.

If you have the original autographs then you would have translators in the middle.

well sure, but imo you can't really deny that you get a much improved exposure, "square" is immediately seen to "Tetragram" etc, or at least "not square," and you now have the orig and the means to come to a more accurate xlation?
