The spider taketh hold with her hands,
and is in kings' palaces.
(Proverbs 30:28, KJV)
and is in kings' palaces.
(Proverbs 30:28, KJV)
"spider ((??))"
Strong's Hebrew 8079, "semamith"
definition: a lizard
usage in KJV: a spider
NAS concordance definition: a lizard.
Brown-Driver-Briggs definition: a lizard
The lizard you may grasp with the hands,
Yet it is in kings' palaces.
(Proverbs 30:28, NASB)
Yet it is in kings' palaces.
(Proverbs 30:28, NASB)
. . . and i love spiders. i really do. i wish it were so, that this word means "spider" -- but it is not. the KJV is in error here.
I think that some people can truly me ashamed of themselves on here. If Jesus would have taught like some people talk here not one person would have come to him. Stop being Pharisees and start seeing that we are supposed to be a functioning body that works together to stand before the Lord without blemish. Where is the loving our neighbor?
Where is the respect and love towards Gods commandments? People calling each other NAMES because of bible translations? Seriously? Then people wonder why people laugh at us Christians. If we cannot even love and respect and serve one another how are we supposed to serve those who dont believe in God?

That's only your opinion. I've posted tons on this in another thread.
Proverbs 30:28 KJB -"the SPIDER taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces."Proverbs 30:28 ESV, NIV, NASB - "the LIZARD you can take in YOUR hands, yet it is in kings' palaces."
Agreeing with the SPIDER as found in the King James Bible are Coverdale 1535, the Great Bible 1540, Matthew's Bible 1549, the Bishops's Bible 1568, the Geneva Bible 1587 "The spider taketh holde with her handes, and is in Kings palaces.", Webster's translation 1833, the Lesser Bible 1853, the Boothroyd Bible 1853, The Jewish Family Bible 1864, Young's 1898, The Ancient Hebrew Bible 1907, the 1917 Jewish Publication Society version, 1936 Hebrew Publishing Company version, The Koster Scriptures 1998, The Complete Jewish Bible 1998, the NKJV 1982, the 1994 KJV 21st Century version, the Third Millennium Bible 1998, God's First Truth 1999, the Jewish translation called the Judaica Press Tanach 2004 also reads: "The SPIDER grasps with her hands, and she is in a king's palaces.", The Revised Geneva Bible 2005, English Jubilee Bible 2010, the 2012 Natural Israelite Bible - "The SPIDER skillfully grasps with its hands, And it is in kings' palaces.", the BRG Bible 2012, The Biblos Bible 2013, the Modern English Version 2014, and the brand new International Standard Version 2014 - "SPIDERS can be caught by the hand, yet they're found in kins' palaces."
But the spider becomes a LIZARD in the RSV, NASB, NIV, Common English bible and Holman Standard. Even Daniel Wallace notes in his NET bible version: "Older English versions, agreeing with Targum. Prov 30:28, translated this term as “spider.” But modern commentators FOLLOWING THE GREEK AND LATIN VERSIONS have “lizard.”

I agree with you 110% Demi!
Did Jesus throw stones at the woman who committed adultry, or call the thieves on the cross names for what they had done?
Acting in this manner that some have portrayed sets a very bad example for not only Christianity but all of God's children.
No one should walk away from knowing God because His children show hate instead of love and that is what ends up happening when some decide to act out in a way other than with the kind of love Jesus showed.

Interesting thought.
The modern KJV edition that you read from is probably not the 1611.
It's probably the Blayney edition of 1769.
There are more than 100,000 changes between these editions.
The 1611 edition of the KJV underwent various changes in 1613, 1629, 1638, 1762 and 1769.
Which edition of the KJV is perfect?
The Apocrypha was included in the 1611 version. Do you have it too?
If the 1611 KJV was infallible, and the KJV we have today is infallible, how could there be differences?

rdbseekingafterhim,
You will note that in some of the ~bibles~ listed above, Jesus says he will not be going to the festival while in others Jesus says I will not yet go to the festival.
This discrepancy has led some unbelievers to say that Jesus lied and has given credibility to the belief that the bible has error(s).
So, yes - it matters what ~version~ you read.
