Mistakes found

I have also discovered some mistakes. So far two factual. Not half way thru yet. Would prefer an ebook.

Contains quite a few mistakes...

Pros: -Easy to understand English -Contains the entire Old Testament canon, including all of the deuterocanonical books (and then some) for the Eastern Orthodox Church. Cons: -Names get mixed up quite a few times when listing genealogies, and the kings of Israel and Judah. -Contains spelling mistakes and grammatical typos. I'd recommend that you have another bible handy when reading this one.
