The King James Version of the Christian scriptures, the Old and New Testaments, first published in 1611 and reproduced here from a public domain printing. As the primary text of Christianity it sits at this atlas's top tier, meaning it is an authoritative record of what the text itself says, not independent confirmation of the historical events it describes. Use it to establish what a passage actually says and where it appears. This is one translation among many, made four centuries ago, and a claim resting on precise wording or on modern textual scholarship is better supported by a modern critical translation or a dedicated biblical studies source alongside it.
