No.
Shakespeare only had schoolboy Latin and virtually no Greek, so he would be a very poor translator.
As it happens, we know who the translators were. They were 47 clergymen (except for Sir Henry Savile, the only non-clerical man on the committee) who were experts particularly in Greek. If you had suggested to them that a grammar-school educated writer of plays ought to be on the committee they would have laughed you half way to Constantinople.
No, William Shakespeare did not help translate The Bible. The most famous English translation of the Bible, the King James Version, was completed in 1611, during Shakespeare's lifetime. However, there is no evidence to suggest that Shakespeare was involved in the translation process.
The Bible was written first, therefore Shakespear cannot have influenced the Bible.
As for the saying that SHakespeare wrote the King James Version of the Bible, Shakespeare was not among the chosen translators, and nothing other than time and place links him to the King James Bible. He is more closely linked to King James himself, having written Macbeth for his King, who was an admirer of his works.
Shakespeare did however use the Bible to influence his works and uses many Biblical themes in all of his works.
William Shakespeare was alive and a mature writer at the time that the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible was being written (it was published in 1611 when Shakespeare was about 47 years old).
But there is no proof at all that Shakespeare was in any way involved with the KJV. The bible was translated by scholars from ancient languages and it's known that Shakespeare had "little Latin and less Greek", which means he would not have been an asset.
Added to that, he was never directly involved with "establishment" literature, which the KJV certainly was. Being a playwright was not a noble profession, no matter what we think of him today.
But it is possible that Francis Bacon, one of his contemporaries, had something to do with the KJV, because at the time he was Solicitor General and Advisor to King James.
If you search the web you will find some interesting rumors about his involvement, but they are not proven and are generally believed to be nothing but rumors.
The Queen Elizabeth Bible refers to the Russian queen. Google QEB bible and read Israel Shamir's discussion of this.

There is no specific account in the Bible of the first woman to ask God for help, as many women throughout the Bible sought God's help in various situations. Some examples include Sarah, Hannah, and Mary.
The specific phrase "if you make a step, God will make two" is not directly found in the Bible. However, the concept of taking a step of faith and trusting in God's provision and help is a common theme throughout the Bible in verses such as Proverbs 3:5-6 and Psalm 37:23-24.
Some well-reputed online Bible schools for children include Awana, Bible Blast, and Bible Study For Kids. These programs offer structured online courses, interactive lessons, and age-appropriate resources to help children learn more about the Bible in a fun and engaging way.
A biblical exposition is a detailed explanation or interpretation of a passage or book of the Bible, often focusing on understanding the historical context, literary genre, and theological implications of the text. Expositions aim to help readers deepen their understanding and application of biblical teachings.
You can find Bible colleges that offer scholarships by researching online or contacting individual schools directly. Many colleges have dedicated scholarship programs for students pursuing religious studies or ministry-related degrees. Additionally, websites like Fastweb or Scholarships.com can help you find scholarship opportunities specifically for Bible college students.
William Shakespeare helped the human race.
Shakespeare was not officially a member of the three translation teams assigned to translate the Bible. But he may have secretly translated Psalm 46. The 46th word of this psalm is "shake." The 47th word from the end of it is "spear." The Bible was translated under King James in 1610 and 1611, when Shakespeare was 46 and 47 years old.

Please note that "You Are a Whale" is not a poem written by William Shakespeare. It appears to be a modern creation. If you have the actual title of the poem, I can help you analyze its meaning.
The King James bible was created out of the Textus Receptus translation and the Vulgate for most of the new testament, the Masoretic Text and the Septuagint were used to help translate the old testament. To actually translate it, King James set up several committees made out of language scholars to translate the bible into English.
It would help if you would rephrase this question in a coherent manner.

A coat of arms. John did not live to enjoy it very long before it passed to William.
It was called the Lord Chamberlain's Men, and it outlasted all of its charter members including Shakespeare.
