Of the original 54 men chosen to translate the King James Bible, only 47 finished the more than seven-year project, which was governed by very strict rules of translation. The translators were scholarly men who were experts in the biblical languages, and they were convinced of the inerrant and authority of Scripture. Dr. Henry M. Morris, President of the Institute for Creation Research, said of these men, "It is almost certain that no group of Bible scholars before or since has ever been as thoroughly fit for their task as was the King James Translation Team."

What is the difference between the Hebrew Bible and the king James Bible?
The Hebrew Bible is another name for what Christians often call the "Old Testament." Jews do not tend to call their bible the "Old Testament", since this name implies that their bible is "old" or that it was replaced by the New Testament. Jewish people do respect the Christian scriptures but do not regard the New Testament as sacred to Judaism, so a Bible for Jews would only contains the Old Testament. Since they do not have any other Testaments, many Jews call their scriptures the Hebrew Bible or the Tanakh (the Hebrew abbreviation for these scriptures).As for the King James Bible, it is a popular Christian translation, from the Protestant tradition-- it contains both the Old Testament and the New Testament. You will note that the King James translation of the Old Testament puts the books in a different order from how the Hebrew Bible has them, and some older versions of King James translate certain verses somewhat differently, in an effort to "prove" that Jesus was predicted in the Hebrew scriptures (Jews do not believe he was). But in general, the main difference is the King James Bible contains both the Hebrew Scriptures and the New Testament, while a Hebrew Bible contains the approved Jewish scriptures only, usually translated from the Hebrew by the Jewish Publication Society or another authorized Jewish organization.
Why has there been so many edited versions of the 1611 king James version of the bible?
One of the main reasons is that the King James Bible is not copyrighted, and has been around for over 400 years! It has undergone three revisions, incorporating more than 100,000 changes, many due to punctuation, spelling, and printer's mistakes and omissions.For example, Exodus 20:14 reads :-Exo 20:14 KJV Thou shalt not commit adultery.Instead, one version is known as the Adulterer's Bible because it omitted the word "not" and read:-Exo 20:14 KJV Thou shalt commit adultery.(The printer's Licence was removed, he was massively fined, and he died in prison).Further, there are over 300 words in the King James that no longer mean what they meant in 1611. Despite all this the King James Bible is still accurate, believe it or not.
