  The 
  

   agreement 
  between 
  the 
  British 
  and 
  American 
  Committees 
  was, 
  briefly, 
  

   as 
  follows: 
  The 
  British 
  revisers 
  were 
  to 
  take 
  the 
  suggestions 
  of 
  the 
  

   American 
  Committee 
  under 
  special 
  consideration 
  and 
  print, 
  in 
  an 
  

   appendix, 
  such 
  preferences 
  of 
  reading 
  and 
  rendering 
  as 
  they 
  de- 
  

   clined 
  to 
  adopt, 
  while 
  the 
  American 
  revisers 
  were 
  not 
  to 
  issue 
  an 
  

   edition 
  of 
  their 
  own 
  for 
  fourteen 
  years 
  after 
  the 
  publication 
  of 
  the 
  

   British 
  revision. 
  The 
  British 
  revision 
  was 
  published 
  in 
  1885, 
  and, 
  

   in 
  1901, 
  the 
  restricted 
  period 
  having 
  elapsed, 
  the 
  American 
  Standard 
  

   Revision 
  was 
  issued. 
  It 
  contained 
  many 
  variations 
  from 
  the 
  British, 
  

   substituting 
  words 
  in 
  good 
  American 
  standing 
  for 
  those 
  differently 
  

   used 
  in 
  England. 
  It 
  also 
  altered 
  the 
  punctuation 
  and 
  paragraphing 
  

   of 
  the 
  British 
  revision, 
  and 
  inserted 
  at 
  the

  brief

  Jewish-English 
  Version 
  of 
  the 
  Old 
  Testament. 
  A 
  new 
  translation 
  

   of 
  the 
  Old 
  Testament 
  prepared 
  during 
  the 
  years 
  1908 
  to 
  1915 
  by 
  a 
  

   group 
  of 
  American 
  Jewish 
  scholars, 
  with 
  the 
  aid 
  of 
  previous 
  versions 
  

   and 
  with 
  constant 
  consultation 
  of 
  Jewish 
  authorities. 
  It 
  aims 
  to 
  

   combine 
  the 
  spirit 
  of 
  Jewish 
  tradition 
  with 
  the 
  results 
  of 
  Biblical 
  

   scholarship, 
  ancient, 
  medieval, 
  and 
  modern.

  TRANSLATIONS 
  OF

  Luther's 
  Bible. 
  German 
  translation, 
  made 
  by 
  Martin 
  Luther. 
  

   Edition 
  of 
  1554. 
  The 
  New 
  Testament 
  appeared 
  in 
  1522 
  and 
  the 
  Old 
  

   Testament, 
  in 
  parts, 
  between 
  1523 
  and 
  1532. 
  The 
  complete 
  Bible 
  

   appeared 
  in 
  1534. 
  Previous 
  to 
  Luther's 
  version 
  there 
  were 
  in 
  use 
  

   at 
  least 
  10 
  distinct 
  German 
  versions, 
  literal 
  translations 
  of 
  the 
  

   Latin 
  Bible. 
  Luther 
  worked 
  from 
  the 
  original 
  tongues, 
  and 
  yet 
  

   succeeded 
  in 
  giving 
  the 
  Bible 
  a 
  real 
  German 
  dress 
  and 
  a 
  style 
  that 
  

   would 
  appeal 
  to 
  German 
  readers. 
  Luther's 
  translation 
  was 
  of 
  prime 
  

   importance 
  in 
  bringing 
  about 
  the 
  Reformation, 
  and 
  is 
  also 
  the 
  

   foundation 
  of 
  the 
  German 
  literary 
  dialect.
