Well said. I agree.

I’ve found the Douay Rheims to be the most “mystical” of all the Bible translations I’ve so far read. Considering it is also the only Pre-Schism translation ever commissioned as well as it being a translation from an actual Saint also lends to it credence. It could actually be considered the only translation true to the Early Church that was still united as the Latin Vulgate is both Pre-Schism and Pre-Protestant Reformation.

To see you give the Douay-Rheims a fair shake sparks much joy. For centuries before the explosion in Bible translations this was *the* singular English version for Anglophone Catholics, the equivalent of the Authorized Version used by the Reformed groups. I will also admit to personal bias as this topic is near and dear to me - I have the very Bible you recommend in the description on my bedside table.

i admire your bravery to speak up about things that matter to you, and showing no fear in reviewing different translations. GOD Bless

One of the things (amongst many) that I love about the original 1609 Douay-Rheims is that every time the word "messiah", "The LORD's annointed", or any other variation occurs in the OT the word is translated as Christ. Making it considerably easier to see the typological foreshadowings of Jesus that prefigure His incarnation. That being said, I also really enjoy the Challoner Revision because it adopts a lot of the wording/phrasing from the Authorized King James (which I can't help but love for it's poetic and powerful use of the English language).

The Church still uses the word neophyte to this day. We call anyone who is a newly baptized convert to the faith a neophyte. I learned that when I was converting to Catholicism in RCIA in 2021.

Ha ha. You are thinking of Nephi.

It should be remembered that this is the 1899 American revision. The Catholic Bishop’s conference wanted a version of the Douay Rheims that conformed to American spelling standards of the turn of the last century.

For viewers, it is good to remember that the Rheims-Douay version was translated and edited by Catholics in exile who were under threat of death in England, as were all Catholics. As well, "apocrypha" is a pejorative that was assigned to the scriptures by "reformers" - chief among whom was Martin Luther who simply did not like the theology in the books and downgraded them on his own perceived authority. Saint Jerome initially resisted them, but later came to embrace them and quoted from them. The Catholic AND Orthodox churches have ALWAYS used those books, as did observant Jews before Christ. Sirach is also known as Ecclesiasticus, which means "Church" or "Assembly" book., which is a hint as to its pre-Christian use.

As someone who was very curious about translation differences in the douay rheims, thank you for the comprehensive commentary!

Great info as always! Thanks for sharing your experience. This one’s a bit further down the list for me, but I’ll get there eventually!

Also note that when Bathsheba went to speak to King Solomon it reads He bowed to her and she was brought a Throne and then he sat on his throne. Today’s rendering is she is given a chair. But it was originally always a throne. As the mother of the king she was Queen mother. As with Solomon he had several wives and only 1 mother. Thus the mother was the Queen and trusted advisor to the king.

Good review as usual! I would add for those interested that the 1754 Challoner Douay Rheims (ie the one that most Catholics use) was practically a new translation compared to the 1582 Rheims NT and the 1610 Douay OT. Challoner shifted the text closer to the KJV every chance he got. For instance from Revelation: Rev. 1:15 (Rheims 1582): and his feet like to latten, as in a burning furnace. And his voice as of many waters. Rev. 1:15 (KJV 1611): And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. Rev: 1:15 (Challoner DR 1754): And his feet like unto fine brass, as in a burning furnace. And his voice as the sound of many waters. I just chose a verse at random to illustrate, but you can see how every change Challoner introduced pushed it closer to the KJV I haven't read either the Challoner Douay Rheims or the 1582 Rheims New Testament all the way through yet, but both are interesting to look through from time to time. However, be warned that the 1582 Rheims New Testament has extremely harsh notes about Protestants (though good citations to church fathers)

I love this channel and I love Holy Scripture! I wanted to share that the translation relating to Moses being horn with the glory of God isn’t a mistake, it actually does hold significance to the meaning of what God’s “horn” or “horns” means, especially to ancient Jewish custom. A “horn” is also seen as what is used or formed as a part of a shepherd’s rook, it is a weapon used by a shepherd to defend his sheep against enemies and predators. Moses is a messianic figure in salvation history, he is a "shepherd" of Gods people, "the Jews." So either translation is correct; only one is more detailed as to the image of Moses authority given him by God over the Jews. He is the one leading the Lords flock through the desert, etc. Thank you for loving Gods Word, and enlightening us to the various joys of Holy Scripture! May the Lord bless you!

Since Jerome was using the Hebrew and Greek manuscripts of his day to translate into Latin, those manuscripts likely would have been closer to the autographs from the first century. Is it possible that because of this, his translation into Latin might contain some words that might not be found in later handwritten manuscripts from the Hebrew and Greek? Just speculating.

Concupiscence is understood as an effect of original sin that remains after baptism. The waters of baptism cleanse us of original sin itself, but concupiscence remains as a lingering effect. The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches that “certain temporal consequences of sin remain in the baptized, such as suffering, illness, death … as well as an inclination to sin that Tradition calls concupiscence” (No. 1264, emphasis in original).

FYI Most Bibles came with the Douay-Challoner OT and the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine revisions of the Vulgate New Testament (1941) prior to the publication of the NAB completed in 1970. After about 1965 some of the OT had been translated by the Confraternity. The translation was completed in 1969 but the excellent Vulgate translations was abandoned to the Masoretic texts, Greek, maybe some other sources for the NAB (inflicted with the Historical-Critical method and with modernist unfaithful commentary in my opinion). My mother gave me a Bible in 1963 when I was 12 or 13 (which I still have and use). The OT was the Douay-Challoner and the NT was confraternity. Thank You again.

I'm not disputing that it isn't found in most all Greek manuscripts except for some much later copies. I can understand why that might apply to the KJV and the Textus Receptus, but for Jerome to include it in his Latin translation seems to indicate that it might have been in the Greek manuscripts of his day, unless he actually didn't include it in the Latin, and maybe it was added in later editions?

It meant that whatever Jesus said after that oath, was not symbolic, not a parable, but a statement of truth that needed to be clearly heard and understood by the disciples. A truth so strong it sent many of his disciples away leaving only the 12 (John 6:66-67). "Amen, Amen" was never translated from the Hebrew to: the Greek or the Latin or the English tongue. It was purposely kept "Amen, Amen." * "so it might be the more esteemed" Scholars miss that and now instead you have: "truly, truly" or "truly" or "verily, verily", etc . . Its literally correct, but it's not what Jesus said; what Jesus said was "Amen, Amen." Its things like that, the faithfulness, the piety that you will only find in the old translations.

The existing Hebrew text has masculine pronouns and verb form (where the seed is being spoken of); the Greek has neuter/masculine (“autos”); the Latin textual and commentary traditions witness examples of both the neuter/masculine (“ipsum”) and the feminine (“ipsa”, where the woman is being spoken of). A notable and unusual outlier to this general trend is St Ephrem the Syrian, who seems to be aware enough of a feminine rendition of the verse in the Syriac to allude to it in one of his hymns on the Nativity (“The Lord said that He saw Satan fall from heaven. That accursed one had exalted himself but he was cast down from his high place. The foot of Mary trampled on him who had struck at Eve won her heel. Blessed is He, Our Lord Jesus Christ, who laid the devil low by His holy birth.”) Challoner’s note on the passage- “Ipsa”, the woman: so diverse of the fathers read this place, conformably to the Latin; others read it “ipsum”, viz. the seed. The sense is the same: for it is by her seed, Jesus Christ, that the woman crushes the serpent’s head. From Haydock’s commentary on the verse- The Hebrew text, as Bellarmine observes, is ambiguous: He mentions one copy which had ipsa instead of ipsum; and so it is even printed in the Hebrew interlineary edition, 1572, by Plantin, under the inspection of Boderianus. Whether the Jewish editions ought to have more weight with Christians, or whether all the other manuscripts conspire against this reading, let others inquire. The fathers who have cited the old Italic version, taken from the Septuagint agree with the Vulgate, which is followed by almost all the Latins; and hence we may argue with probability, that the Septuagint and the Hebrew formerly acknowledged ipsa, which now moves the indignation of Protestants so much, as if we intended by it to give any divine honour to the blessed Virgin. We believe, however, with St. Epiphanius, that "it is no less criminal to vilify the holy Virgin, than to glorify her above measure." We know that all the power of the mother of God is derived from the merits of her Son. We are no otherwise concerned about the retaining of ipsa, she, in this place, that in as much as we have yet no certain reason to suspect its being genuine. As some words have been corrected in the Vulgate since the Council of Trent by Sixtus V. and others, by Clement VIII. so, if, upon stricter search, it be found that it, and not she, is the true reading, we shall not hesitate to admit the correction: but we must wait in the mean time respectfully, till our superiors determine.

I do think, with the Dead Sea Scrolls and other discoveries, also taking more account of the Samaritan Pentateuch, we are closer than ever to a faultless copy of the work of the biblical human authors. God bless you.

Slime in the 1600s would have meant mud.

I appreciate you pointing out the oddities of the translation but the "Is it Good?" ... do you ever say it's not. You seem to think every translation is good, but I admit I haven't seen all your videos yet.

What can I say, I’ve enjoyed every translation I’ve read so far. There are a couple translations I offer my criticisms, but so far I have enjoyed them all. I did make a video addressing my favorites and why, but it’s probably due an update.

Catholics who love and promote the Douay-Rheims are not unlike the Protestants who are KJV-onlyists.

I wouldn’t know. I don’t have much interaction with them.

The LORD's Prayer, Matthew 6:13 Doouay-Rheims 1899 And lead us not into temptation. But deliver us from evil. Amen. Matthew 6:13 KJV And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

DOUAY RHEIMS ☘️ Love it. Just not the best. JERUSALEM (1966) 🔘 Ok. But overrated. GOOD NEWS (1966) 🤔 Great for beginners! RSV Catholic Ed. (1966) ✝️ My personal favorite! NEW AMERICAN (1970) 👺 Well, it will get the job done. NRSV (1989) 😒 This WOKE PC version should be burned! RSV Catholic 2nd Ed. (2006) ✝️ Surprisingly well done! Bravo!

You could certainly evangelise a DR-using Roman Catholic by employing this Bible. But otherwise, my advice would be not to waste time reading it when there are so many better translations out there.

I cannot conceive it ever being a waste of time to read God’s Word. Reading various translations and traditions has been very rewarding for me as a man of faith and a pastor.

The word "evangelise" only occurs in English as it was brought into English usage from Latin by the DR bible. Another thing you can thank Catholics for.

@@anickelsworthbiblereviews I agree to the extent that you - or I - have the discernment to tell whether this Roman Catholic translation from the Latin is entirely faithful - or not. However, I would definitely not recommend Christians in general to read it because there are far better translations out there, both old (KJV) and new (NKJV, ESV, etc). For example, Galatians 3:6 in the DR reads: 'As it is written: Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.' Compare that rendering (which obscures the biblical teaching on justification by faith alone) with the KJV: ' Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.' God bless you, though, brother.

@@anickelsworthbiblereviews How do you react to the DR on Galatians 3:6? And how about Matthew 3:2: 'Do penance: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand'? ...when the proper translation is NOT 'do penance', but 'repent'. To 'do penance' is to perform an act or a set of actions out of repentance for sins committed, i.e. an outward show . Repentance is much more fundamental because it means a inner spiritual change of heart, turning away from sin and towards God. There is a fundamental difference between what the DR Bible teaches through mistranslation (thus propagating false Roman Catholic doctrine) and more faithful translations, of which there are many. Even the modern Roman Catholic translation, the NAB, knows that this is a deliberate mistranslation! If the DR version isn't a corruption of the original, I don't know what is! Modern Roman Catholic scholarship knows that this translation cannot stand and has corrected it accordingly because Bible translation has to begin with the original language, i.e. Greek, not Latin.

@@anickelsworthbiblereviews Hi Tim: if I may beg to differ - it's not that it can mean repentance. It *does* mean repentance, and doesn't mean penance, which is a concept alien to the the Bible. Now you and I, as experienced readers of Bibles, may be able to spot the problem, but I just don't think it's sensible to recommend the DR to the unwary or undiscerning.

@@alanhowe1455 Good catch. That is a very real criticism of the DRB. It would appear that Jerome, in the translation of the Vulgate, was introducing into the text the doctrine of penance, instead of preserving a more accurate translation. Even our English word 'repentance' has multiple meaning (according to Webster) choices which can make the doctrine of repentance confusing to the average reader. The literal meaning of the Greek text is 'change of mind,' or 'change of perception.' That is a rather significant difference when compared to 'penance.'
