How many times is the word 'Lucifer' mentioned in the Bible?
The name Lucifer, meaning the morning star, was used in an ironic sense in Isaiah 14:4-22, to refer to the king of Babylon after his defeat by the Persians. This passage was misunderstood by Christian translators, resulting in the widespread Christian view that Lucifer and Satan are one. The word appears only once in the King James Version, American KJV and NKJV, Websters, Douay-Rheims and Darby Bibles, but not at all in other major versions.
What versions of the Bible are from Latin Vulgate?
Answer:The following versions of the Bible come from the Vulgate (which was a translation of the Septuagint, the Greek version of the Hebrew scriptures used at the time of Jesus by those Jews who lived in the Diaspora).The following English translations are based on the Vulgate: the Wycliffe Bible (Wycliffe was an early reformer), the Douay-Rheims, the Confraternity, the (Ronald) Knox version as well as the renowned Lindisfarne Gospels. The New Testament of the King James version also owes much to the Vulgate through the Douay-Rheims which was used by the Protestant compilers of the KJV. (the King James version was also notorious for misprints - another challenge to translators and printers).Like any translation from the original texts, the Vulgate suffered from the difficulty of accurately transcribing certain words or phrases from Greek to Latin. The same problem occurred in the preparation of the King James Bible----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Actually better to ask what line ofmanuscripts the Latin Vulgate relies upon and what translations rely on them as well.The Vulgate relies heavily on Alexandrian, N, African manuscripts edited heavily by such as Origen, influenced heavily by Greek Philosophy and brought to Constantine, first (christian emperor,,yeah right), by Eusibius, who worships the ground Origen stands upon and is a little follower of the man Constantine, or in admiration with. There were originally 70 vellum scroll purchased from Rome of these Alexandrian line of edited manuscripts, containing many gross errors, both in addition and subtraction to the text, in some cases just to the whim of Origen as He thought they should read!!!!!!Now, the Vulgate comes from this line. Sadly a majority of modern English translations also rely heavily on these corrupt manuscripts, like the NIV, NASB, RSV etc.The other line are Western, many out of Antioch, the Western church sphere of influence, the Majority Text, the King James was translated from it. They ignored many older manuscripts because they were know to be of a certain line, corrupt line, which Rome in its Vulgate subscribed to, by Jerome, that translated it from these 70 vellum scrolls from N. Africa.Note: Ancient Christians buried rather than destroyed known corrupt manuscripts, many later were dug up and trumped as older therefor more reliable, when in reality they were older because they were buried intentionally and taken out of circulation by early Christians, and so were preserved longer through lack of use because they were considered corrupt or not "faithful renderings" of the Word of God.It is interesting that the King James translators ignored some of these older manuscripts, many times thought because they were considered too Catholic, remember historically this is the time of the Protestant reformation, and much that was Catholic was despised during this time by these Protestants.Much avoiding of the Vulgate the older Latin texts were used, was probably in large part due to anti Catholic sentiments among Protestants, in large part to the centuries of persecution Christians who didn't side with Rome suffered, even death. Much bitterness from this period came forth, even in translation. But the truth is, the text that kjv1611 adhered too was clean, the Vulgate through N. Africa subject to numerous alterations on opinion and whim it seems at times, was certainly not.
