Where can i find cross references for the Apocrypha in the 1611 KJV bible.?

Question

I know that the Apocrypha was indeed in the KJV up until the 19th century, so since it had been in the bible at some time " most likely there were cross references.

Answer 1

Welllllll....please allow me to correct some misinformation before I answer the question.



a - the first edition of the KJV included the Apocrypha, and as far as I know there has always been editions of the KJV in print with the Apocrypha



b - examples of the KJV without the Apocrypha were *common* by the year 1700, though not the norm. Probably it wasn't until about 1800 that more KJVs were being printed without the Apocrypha than with. You can find KJVs without the Apocrypha dating to 1700 or so on Google Books.





The answer:



The 1769 "Standard Text" removed all of the cross references to the Apocrypha (even though the Apocrypha **is part** of the Standard Text). So: you will have to find a KJV edition that includes the 1611 cross references to get what you want **or** you will have to use the Cambridge Paragraph Bible (really excellent). The Hendrickson 1611 KJVs have them:

Here is the Cambridge Paragraph Bible online, which - ***if*** I remember correctly - includes both the 1611 & 1769 cross references:

I don't know of any HTML (web page text instead of graphics) listing of the 1611 KJV cross references.



The Hendrickson edition has the advantage of being printed in Roman font (easier to read than the unfamiliar Germanic font of the original 1611 edition). The Hendrickson edition is pretty impressive: they've gone to the trouble of duplicating every single word - in fact every single letter - of the original KJV in *exactly the same location on each page*. That is: even though they changed the font to Roman font, each word in the Hendrickson edition appears in the exact same position on each page as the same word in the original 1611 edition.

Answer 2

Apocrypha Books



The apocrypha is a selection of books which were published in the original 1611 King James Bible. These apocryphal books were positioned between the Old and New Testament (it also contained maps and geneologies). The apocrypha was a part of the KJV for 274 years until being removed in 1885 A.D. A portion of these books were called deuterocanonical books by some entities, such as the Catholic church.



Many claim the apocrypha should never have been included in the first place, raising doubt about its validity and believing it was not God-inspired (for instance, a reference about magic seems inconsistent with the rest of the Bible: Tobit chapter 6, verses 5-8). Others believe it is valid and that it should never have been removed- that it was considered part of the Bible for nearly 2,000 years before it was recently removed a little more than 100 years ago. Some say it was removed because of not finding the books in the original Hebrew manuscripts. Others claim it wasn't removed by the church, but by printers to cut costs in distributing Bibles in the United States. Both sides tend to cite the same verses that warn against adding or subtracting from the Bible: Revelation 22:18. The word 'apocrypha' means 'hidden.' Fragments of Dead Sea Scrolls dating back to before 70 A.D. contained parts of the apocrypha books in Hebrew, including Sirach and Tobit [source].

Answer 3

It was only after 1769 that it became common for the KJV to omit the Apocrypha.



Go the the link below which says that the Third Millennium Bible (King James) contains chapter summaries from the 1611 edition and cross references, also with the complete English Protestant Apocrypha. Hope this will help you.

Answer 5

The makers of the King James Version of 1611 (17th century) decided that the books of the Aprocrypha should not be a part of the Bible.

Answer 6

There are none. The only other books the Bible mentions are the Book of Jasher, Jubilees and a reference to Enoch prophesying which, although debated, could be a reference to the Book of Enoch.
