I forget who—they say in the film)).

This film mixes up 'the way I remember it' a little ... everybody I know likes to think The King James Version was "the first English translation" (and maybe it was the first "royally authorized" version), but the film mentions all sorts of other versions, and I'm not too clear on 'the order they came in ...

The documentary mentions the 1611 KJV, but it also tells us about The Geneva Bible (saying it was popular among American Colonists—it (or maybe The Tyndale Bible) was the version that The Pilgrims used to dedicate This Land to Father God).

The word “Forbid” is built on ancient words that mean "to Command (be/make Aware) |Against."
