Muddy Bog Scripture is Psalm 84, not 83
Irish Museum Clarifies Numbering Mix-up

Dublin:

As many of us know, the chapter numbers of the Bible are not in the originals - they were added much later by scholars. As such, different languages and versions of the Bible may have different chapter or verse numberings.

So, when the National Museum of Ireland announced on Tuesday July 25 the discovery of an ancient Bible in a muddy bog, they said part of Psalm 83 was legible. However, in our modern Bibles, this actually translates to Psalm 84.

The following is quoted from the Reuters article:

Dublin (Reuters): The confusion arose because the manuscript uses an old Latin translation of the Bible known at the Vulgate, which numbers the psalms differently from the later King James version, the 1611 English translation from which many modern texts derive.

"The Director of the National Museum of Ireland ... would like to highlight that the text visible on the manuscript does not refer to wiping out Israel but to the 'vale of tears'," the museum said.

The vale of tears is in Psalm 84 in the King James version.



"It is hoped that this clarification will serve comfort to anyone worried by earlier reports of the content of the text," the museum said.

Below is the verse in question with the Strong's numbers: [Who] passing 05674 through the valley 06010 of Baca 01056 01057 make 07896 it a well 04599; the rain 04175 also filleth 05844 the pools 01293.
