You’re missing the point of the video.

To a Jew, the KJV Old Testament isn’t the Hebrew bible. It isn’t a true translation. Several examples are made in this video prove that, but if you learned to read Hebrew, you could see that for yourself. There’s even a bunch of different online courses to learn Hebrew. Or you can pick up a book.

There are so many differences between the KJV Old Testament and the Hebrew bible (Tanakh).

Well, my comment was addressing your comments, not the video itself.

We are not Jews, and our religion doesn’t require us to learn Hebrew or study the original text. Yet, we are able, with the KJV and commonly available study tools, to easily determine what was translated, even without learning Hebrew. That’s one of the reasons that, despite its antiquated language and some problematic choices in the translation, it is still one of the most widely used English translations.

Certainly, you’ll gain a deeper understanding by learning Hebrew, but I’m happy if people are reading the Bible in any language nowadays!
