Why would a Bible use the word "breeches'? Truly funny with what Adam and Eve had to work with.

"Why would a Bible use the word "breeches'? Truly funny with what Adam and Eve had to work with." Yes, it is right up there with "purgatory" and "pope" and "transubstantiation". LOL.

Just shows how culture can influence translations.
Of interest the Geneva Bible was published some 50 years before the king James. It was the Bible than come over on the Mayflower.
Why was it published in Geneva? Many of the scholars who did the translation fled Bloody Mary's (Catholic) persecution and wound up in Geneva.
To say the Bible had a strong Calvinist tone is misleading. All Bibles have a strong Calvinist tone. The study notes pointed out the Sovereign Grace found throughout.
It may surprise you, but I have a copy at home.
