🇬🇧 📚 United Kingdom's National Archives acknowledges the KJB's rich words, skillful translation, & worldwide influence:

"1611-2011: The 400th anniversary of the King James Bible

..it really has deeply enriched the English language with many familiar words and phrases: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth’ begins the Book of Genesis; ‘‘Let there be light” God said, and there was light’;
..The 1611 Bible wasn’t a brand new translation, but a thoroughly revised version: the product of cutting-edge scholarship in Greek, Latin and, in particular, Hebrew, which had made great strides forward in understanding the sophistication of Hebrew texts in the later 16th century.

..But the King James Bible is still the best known translation. Its long history at the centre of the religious devotions of the English speaking world makes it the most important book in the English language and, arguably, the most influential book in the whole history of Western printed culture."
