Let's not get carried away.

There is 1 ref to Bible in the Queen's House reference (1 Kgs 1:38-39).

Why are you jumping on this petty point?  Please don't without first
knowing
BT's high regard for NRSV for ordinary purposes for laypeople.

Then again, there is the interlinear...  BTW, BT does her own
translations; she
that good.

But again, it was off to the races, a rush to print for you.

Yet, you gave a straight answer and are now on record.  Thank-you
sincerely.
