- Title
Ruth 3:15—The ‘He’ and ‘She’ Bibles.
- Authors
Shaheen, Naseeb
- Abstract
The article discusses variations in editions of the King James Bible printed in 1611 that contain different gender-specific pronouns regarding Ruth. The author discusses speculation that the editions were printed separately and that a passage in the first edition in which Ruth is described as "he" was a misprint. He describes the disorganization of the printing offices of printer Robert Barker but suggests the discrepancy is due to the correct translation of the Hebrew text of the Bible. He comments on how the passage was translated for the Geneva Bible.
