PUBLISHER’S PREFACE Current publication date: November, 2018. This electronic reproduction of The Emphasised Bible was first published in May, 2016. Joseph Bryant Rotherham first published The Emphasised Bible (as a complete work) in 1903. This electronic reproduction is the complete and unabridged* document as it was first published. * The publisher has endeavored to create an exact replica of the original printed edition. This includes layout, fonts utilized and format of the text. However, even with modern software he was unable to re-create some of the features found in the 1903 printing, such as chapter numbers in the margins or chapter numbers embedded directly within the text. Such entries, as well as any other discrepancies the publisher could not resolve, have been footnoted with an entry which begins with “Publisher’s Note:”. The publisher took more liberties with footnotes to include: (1) formatting changes in order to make the entries more readable, (2) updates to many of the referenced Hebrew words using current Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary; (3) assorted other references which were deemed appropriate. All are encouraged to read the section titled EXPOSITORY INTRODUCTION. The entire section is only thirty-seven pages long. Herein lie the keys to understanding Rotherham’s translation of the written word of God. Of particular importance are the sub-sections TABLE I, TABLE II and TABLE III. These are reference tables to assist with various annotations, references and symbols (signs) of emphasis utilized throughout this book. The Emphasised Bible is in the Public Domain. Publisher does not place any copyright claims to the contents of this document. However, in order to protect his work effort this document has been encrypted and printing and copying from the document are prohibited. The publisher has created a section DOCUMENTED ERRATA at the end of the document with a table of errors discovered during the creation of this reproduction. The document will occasionally be updated to reflect corrections in the text or improvements to the layout due to the deskop publishing software used to produce it. Such updates are noted by the current publication date (at the beginning of this section.) This current publication date will also be noted at the distribution web addresses (see next entry). This document exists in three editions: Black, Red and Blue. All three are exactly the same except for the color applied to the symbols (signs) of emphasis.
