Geneva Bible 1594 (Breeches)

Geneva Bible 1594 (Breeches)PDF

We are happy to add here the 1594 Geneva Bible. This Bible is often called the Breeches Bible because of the spelling in Genesis 3:7 as “and they sowed figge-tree leaves together, and made themselves breeches.” According to scholars the word should have been “coverings”.

The Geneva Bible was called the “study bible” because of the inclusion of material that aids studying it e.g. indexes, maps, tables and various other features.

The quote from Wikipedia sums it up: “The Geneva Bible is one of the most historically significant translations of the Bible into the English language, preceding the King James translation by 51 years.” (Wikipedia)
