Nah. Bush's fault.
Misprints in the Bible have always been of particular concern. An edition in 1631, nicknamed the "Wicked Bible," omitted the word not from Exodus 20:14, changing the prohibition against adultery into the command: "Thou shalt commit adultery." A contemporary historian recorded thatA nice collection of such oddities is compiled at http://www.biblecollectors.org/bible_misprints.htmHis Majesties Printers, at or about this time, had committed a scandalous mistake in our English Bibles, by leaving out the word Not in the Seventh Commandment. His Majesty being made acquainted with it by the Bishop of London, Order was given for calling the Printers into the High-Commission, where upon Evidence of the Fact, the whole Impression was called in, and the Printers deeply fined, as they justly merited. With some part of this Fine Laud [Archbishop William Laud] caused a fair Greek Character to be provided, for publishing such Manuscripts as Time and Industry should make ready for the Publick view.
What a crappy Photoshop job.
Printers’ Bible. An edition of about 1702 which makes David pathetically complain that “printers [princes] have persecuted me without a cause” (Ps. cxix. 161).— The Reader’s Encyclopedia, 1948.
