"Even the classic temple chumash, The Pentatuch and Haftorahs by the late Rabbi JH Hertz references The King James version as a source in his translation from the original Hebrew."
With all due respect, and I trust this isn"t the booze talking as I juat returned from a great party at my koumbaros' house, the KJV is a translation of the OT which was written specifically to oppose the then new Christian witness which is preserved in The Church you see today as Holy Orthodxy and the Latin Church and those Eastern Churches in communion with Rome. Frankly, I think the Protestants should be ashamed of themselves for using such a transparent attack on Christianity as their OT.

You mean like Eurasmus' Greek texts and Stephens text of 1550 which came from Greek texts brought from Constantinople after the fall of that great city?
Before that the Lollards used Latin texts.
