Another Bible on my Wish List

Here's another bible I will include on my Wish List. This is the Catholic Study Bible. I still don't know when I will have it but I'm praying that in my tight budget I will receive it this January.

In my love for the Word of God, I'm starving to study it more. And by the grace of God I hope that the Holy Spirit will enlighten my mind to understand it and live it.

I haven't posted that other item on my Wish List here in my blog and I'm inclined to list it down below:
  1. The New Testament (Challoner-Rhe​ims)
  2. The New Testament And Psalms: Revised Standard Version, Dark Blue, Second Catholic Edition
  3. Christian Prayer
  4. Douay-Rheims Bible (Pocket size) (1609)
  5. Knox Version (1950)

RSV-CE vs. RSV-2CE (JUDGES)

The main differences between the RSV-CE and RSV-2CE translations in the excerpts from the Book of Judges involve changes in wording, particularly the use of " sons of Israel " instead of " the people of Israel " in many instances. Other notable differences include: Vocabulary changes : "ass" in RSV-CE is often changed to " donkey " in RSV-2CE. "smote" is frequently replaced with " struck " in RSV-2CE. "Pray" is often replaced with " Please " or " beg you " in RSV-2CE when used as a polite request. "sore straits" is changed to " great distress ". "yea" is changed to " yes ". "tawny asses" is changed to " tawny donkeys ". "marshal's staff" retains the apostrophe in RSV-2CE " marshal’s staff ". "lordly bowl" remains the same but "he asked water" becomes " He asked for water ". ...

NABRE vs. NRSV: Memorial of St. Basil the Great and St. Gregory Nazianzen, Bishops and Doctors (Jn 1:19-28)

From time to time I will compare readings from the Lectionary using the NABRE and NRSV. This is done by many bloggers and I guess it won't be bad doing the same. Here it goes: NABRE: This is the testimony of John. When the Jews from Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to him to ask him, “Who are you?” He admitted and did not deny it, but admitted, “I am not the Christ.” So they asked him, “What are you then? Are you Elijah?” And he said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” He answered, “No.” So they said to him, “Who are you, so we can give an answer to those who sent us? What do you have to say for yourself?” He said: “I am the voice of one crying out in the desert, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as Isaiah the prophet said.” Some Pharisees were also sent. They asked him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ or Elijah or the Prophet?” John answered them, “I baptize with water; but there is one among you whom you do not recognize, the one who is coming after me...

The first-born said "my father"

I stumbled upon this verse thinking that they have a different father but the same mother. And on the next day, the first-born said to the younger, "Behold, I lay last night with my father; let us make him drink wine tonight also; then you go in and lie with him, that we may preserve offspring through our father." -- Gen 19:34 (RSV-CE) But reading into the whole context, I think the girls have the same father -- Lot.
