Why have we undertaken this project? The Geneva Bible is virtually unknown today, and yet it played a very important part in American History. It was our desire to modernize the spelling and define the archaic words so the reader could easily read and study it as our Puritan and Pilgrim Fathers did. If you compare it to the King James Bible, you will see it parallels very closely. That is because the same Hebrew/Aramaic and Greeks texts underlie both Bibles.
Old Spelling - "Thy worde is a lanterne vnto my feete, and a light vnto my path." Psalm 119:105
Modern Spelling - "Thy word is a lantern unto my feet, and a light unto my path." Psalm 119:105
