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".
  • "tarry the hoofbeats" becomes "do the hoofbeats tarry".
  • "nay" is changed to "no".
  • "as one man" in the context of striking the Midianites becomes "as one".
  • "requited" becomes "repaid".
  • "thee" and "thou" are consistently updated to "you" and "your".
  • "went down with him from the hill country, having him at their head" becomes "went down with him from the hill country, having him at their head" (identical in the excerpt).
  • "allowed not a man to pass over" becomes "allowed no man to pass over".
  • "the One of Sinai" is used in RSV-2CE.
  • "thither" becomes "there".
  • "where he was from" is used instead of "whence he was".
  • "a couple of asses" becomes "a couple of donkeys".
  • "food for our donkeys" replaces "provender for our asses".
  • "fed the donkeys" replaces "gave the asses provender".
  • "surrounded" replaces "beset".
  • "ark of the covenant of God was there in those days" is identical in both, but the paragraph break differs slightly.
  • "turn in battle" is identical in both, but the quotation marks are different.
  • "next day" is used instead of "morrow".

These changes indicate a tendency in the RSV-2CE towards more contemporary English usage while also making minor adjustments in wording that might affect nuance or clarity. The consistent replacement of "the people of Israel" with "the sons of Israel" is a significant recurring alteration.
