1 | turtle / turtle-dove | Song 2:12 | djconklin | 28342 | ||
In the KJV it has "voice of the turtle" and some Bible critics have used it against the Bible. Both of the above have it correct. So, why did the KJV use the word "tutle"? Well, if look up the word "turtle" in the Oxford English Dictionary (the multi-volume work) you'll find that many English writers used the word "turtle" as a metaphor for "turtle-dove". If you look at Shakespeare you'll find that he wrote a play in 1611 in which he did the same thing! | ||||||

That is why the "KJV only" debate is so silly. We do not live in the 1600's. Thanks for your great information. God Bless....Jensen |
