A Little Bit of Bible History

Did you know that the there wer 1000 copies of the 1631 King James Version of the bible printed that said "Thou SHALL commit adultery".

It was deemed a typo and has been labeled "The Wicked Bible" The printers were fined the equivalent of about $600,000 dollars for the mistake by King James. The blame went to what was then called a "printers devil" which referred to the newest apprentice in the print shop.
