Does Sword Searcher use both the Cambridge and Oxford text?

[C.r.a.i.g]

Does Sword Searcher use both the Cambridge and Oxford text?

Like I looked at the four differences
oxford: 2 chronicles 33:19 says "sin"
cambridge: same text as above- "sins"

oxford: nahum 3:16- "fleeth"
cambridge: "flieth"

oxford: Jeremiah 34:16 "whom he"
cambridge: whom ye


oxford: matthew 23:24 at a gnat
cambridge: out a gnat

Then I checked Sword Searcher for these. The first example, sin was used in Sword Searcher the Oxford. Then the second example of flieth from Cambridge Sword Searcher used that. The third, SwordSearcher used the Cambridge, whom ye. Lastly, SwordSearcher used the Oxford example "at a gnat." So I was wondering why SwordSearcher was programmed to use both the Cambridge and Oxford? I think usually King James Bible uses either the Cambridge text or the Oxford text, but didn't some use both texts. I was wondering if there was a reason behind this? So I can tell people in case I'm preaching on the street and people ask about the King James Bible. Thanks

No. SwordSearcher uses the 1900s Cambridge University Press as the exemplar for text.

See this pinned post:

Included - King James Version [KJV] [Deluxe]

Brandon Staggs submitted a new resource: King James Version [KJV] [Deluxe] - The King James Version, aka Authorized Version. Originally published as the Authorized Version in 1611. This edition of the KJV conforms to the text of the King James Bible printed by Cambridge University Press, from...

It may be helpful to add that modern printings of Cambridge Bibles have some differences. There is not a single "the Cambridge text" today. The one in SwordSearcher matches what Cambridge was printing from about 1920 to 1980.

FWIW, Brandon has done a lot of work supporting and defending the King James online. His KJV page is https://av1611.com/ and a great blessing and resource. If you are street preaching, I praise the Lord for you for that. My experience has been that most people won't ask about the King James because I am simply presenting it as the Word of God, and "thus saith the Lord." But if it does come up, I would hope the points you raise would not be the issue, and I would expect you already know how to discuss the issue, from what you post here.

The older I get, the more I find the issues are very simple, and that is: Christ. People need him, and we have the privilege of sharing Him, and the Holy Ghost will use our efforts and bless them to bring glory to God.

And, there have been times when I have been witnessing and the other person insists on using a different Bible. Even in those situations, I invite them to read along with me while I read from the KJV. God blesses. In one instance, the woman had been studying with Russellites (JWs). As we went through Scripture, she realized there were serious issues with her "bible."

I wish you no ill will. Just an honest reaction to what I read. Grace & Peace to you.
