minus-squarejordanlund@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·4 months agoThe Vulgate Bible was the first to unify the old and new testsments under a single language and was, by and large, the basis for the King James Bible. Example, the Latin in the Vulgate is pretty easy to follow: 1 In principio creavit Deus caelum et terram. 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 Terra autem erat inanis et vacua, et tenebrae erant super faciem abyssi: et spiritus Dei ferebatur super aquas. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 Dixitque Deus: Fiat lux. Et facta est lux. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 Et vidit Deus lucem quod esset bona: et divisit lucem a tenebris. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
