9 (where the "Standard Text came from). Yet little could be farther from the truth. There multiple significant "camps" of King James Bibles today- One is the "Cambridge" text, while another is the "Oxford" text, not to mention that "Standard Text" that a good percentage of contemporary printings use. All lay claim to being the "King James Version".
But even within those camps, there are variances - for example, the Cambridge Press at this time has 5 distinct "King James Version" editions:
The Cambridge Standard Text Edition [also called the Emerald edition], the Concord edition, the Pitt Minion edition, the 2011 Transetto Text Edition, and the 2011 Cambridge edition edited by David Norton.
The Cambridge Standard Text Edition has a good number of differences from the Cambridge Concord and Pitt Minion editions. It may be supposed to be the edition that Cambridge took over from the King's printer in London. It has a number of spelling updates or differences. Some examples include "assuaged" (Gen. 8:1, "plucked" (Gen. 8:11), "mortar" (Gen. 11:3), "aught" (Gen. 39:5), "plaster" (Lev. 14:42), "rearward" (Josh. 6:9), etc.
The 2011 Cambridge edition edited by David Norton has some 4,000 differences (not to mention it removes most of the italics for inserted words). Around one thousand of them is where Norton whent back and followed 1611 edition renderings. This edition makes consistent the use of "thy" or "my" as possessive adjectives instead of "thine" and "mine" in front of nouns, which makes for another 1,000 differences. This edition attempts to make consistent the use of "a" and "an", which (about 300 differences). This edition updated the spelling of many words to standard English spelling of today such as "spoke" for "spake," "show" for "shew," etc. which is over 1,700 differences.
One example difference between Norton's 2011 Cambridge edition and Norton's 2005 Cambridge edition is the 2011's use of "awoke" instead of "awaked" (Jud. 16:14. Ps. 3:5, Ps. 78:65]. The 2011 Cambridge has "Lord" at Acts 2:34 while the 2005 Cambridge has "LORD." The 2005 Cambridge had a misprint "fellow-disciple" at John 11:16 instead of "fellow-disciples." There are a few differences between their use of "thy" and "thine".
