From "LET THERE BE LIGHT" (pages 17 to 21) by Dr Rocco A. Errico

The following are comparative differences between the King James version of the Bible and my translation of the Aramaic Peshitta text. These direct translations from Aramaic to English shed much light on these changes completely. I make no comment on the verses, but allow the reader to evaluate the differences for him/herself.
