Oops! Printing errors in the original KJV

(RNS) In the days before spell check, printer errors occasionally crept
into the King James Version of the Bible. Here are some of the most
notable:

-- In a 1612 edition, Psalm 119:161 read "Printers have persecuted
me without cause," instead of "princes." Perhaps a Freudian slip by the
copy editor.

-- A 1631 edition now called the "Wicked Bible" had Exodus 20:14 as
"Thou shall commit adultery." The printers were heavily fined for this
lascivious mistake.

-- In 1653, an edition rendered I Corinthians 6:9 as "Know ye not
that the unrighteous shall inherit the kingdom of God?" They will not,
according to later (corrected) editions.

-- A 1682 KJV refers to the "Parable of the Vinegar," instead of
"vineyard," and was subsequently dubbed the "Vinegar Bible." Sour grapes
either way for the printers.

-- A 1795 edition has Jesus exhorting his followers, "Let the
children first be killed," instead of "filled," that is, fed. Talk about
suffering the little children.
