The Bible is a collection of religious texts that are considered sacred by Christians. The original version of the Bible is written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, and it is believed to have been written over a period of more than 1,000 years. The earliest translation of the Hebrew Bible is the Old Greek (OG), which was translated in Alexandria, Egypt, for the use of the Greek-speaking Jewish community there. At first, only the Torah was translated, in the third century B.C.E., and the rest of the biblical books were translated later. The whole Hebrew Bible was likely translated into ancient Greek by the middle of the second century B.C.E. .
The King James Version (KJV), also known as the King James Bible (KJB) and the Authorized Version (AV), is an Early Modern English translation of the Christian Bible for the Church of England, which was commissioned in 1604 and published in 1611, by sponsorship of King James VI and I. The 80 books of the King James Version include 39 books of the Old Testament, 14 books of Apocrypha, and the 27 books of the New Testament. The King James Version is still the favored biblical translation of many Christian fundamentalists and some Christian new religious movements.
In conclusion, the original version of the Bible is written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. The King James Version is an Early Modern English translation of the Christian Bible for the Church of England, which was commissioned in 1604 and published in 1611, by sponsorship of King James VI and I.
