QUESTION #11

QUESTION: I've heard that the italicized words in the King James Bible should be removed because they were added by the translators. Should they be removed?

ANSWER: If we remove ANY of the italicized words we must either remove them ALL or accept them ALL as Scripture.

Italicized words:
I thought that they used an italicized word when they couldn't find an exact, literal, on-target translated word to use, so they used the closest one they could find. Sort of like if the word "yell" didn't exist in the english language, but it did in Hebrew, so they would use "raise voice" or something...But I didn't know the italicized words were ADDED. It is a thought-provoking question.

5 verses found containing "daily sacrifice":


Dan 8:11 Yea, he magnified [himself] even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily [sacrifice] was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.

Dan 8:12 And an host was given [him] against the daily [sacrifice] by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.

Dan 8:13 Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain [saint] which spake, How long [shall be] the vision [concerning] the daily [sacrifice], and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?

Dan 11:31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily [sacrifice], and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.

Dan 12:11 And from the time [that] the daily [sacrifice] shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, [there shall be] a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
