“Your version?” I’m sorry, I don’t understand this response to what I posted. All you did was post the same thing I did.

It is a difference of words. Not of anything different but translation.

Some of the words in your translation were in my opinion better, clearer. Others were similar, but I’m not sure exactly the same.

Example: the “thousand thousand” reference for number killed instead of “million”. (Your version is clearer)

Example: the color of the breast plates, I’m not sure it is as simple as colors listed in your translation.

I just prefer KJV because it is what I grew up with. Neither is “better”. In some cases one is more clear than the other.

The way that US English is morphing today bothers me. Words should not take on new meaning by usage, but they do.
