A table of words used by Tyndale in the Old Testament but not found in the
Authorized Version, correlated with other major versions

Editor's Note: This article contains early modern English and Hebrew. If characters are not displayed correctly in your browser, consider downloading the Gentium and Ezra font families from SIL, and consider using the Firefox browser.

This is a list of words and some short phrases in Tyndale's Old Testament translations which are arguably not to be found in the A.V. ('commoned' and 'unshoed' are examples of words whose inclusion is debatable). The additional material shows what four major subsequent translations (Coverdale's of 1535, the Geneva Bible, the Bishops' Bible and A.V.) did with the given example. Where the A.V. agrees with the Geneva Bible of 1599 rather than with 1560, that is noted. The Wycliffite versions are noted only where they have the same reading as Tyndale. In addition, some words have been checked against the Great Bible. The most significant omission is a full correlation with the Great Bible and with the Douai Old Testament. The attentive reader will notice a few other minor omissions, indicated either by a blank entry or by modern spelling.

Except with the A.V., where a check against the whole of the Old and New Testaments (though not the Apocrypha) is easily made, there is always the possibility that Tyndale's word is used elsewhere. This is particularly true with the Wycliffite versions, where several of Tyndale's words such as 'neverthelater' and 'plague' can be found in other verses. If all the words on this list were fully correlated with, particularly, the Wycliffite verns (a task that electronic editions will make possible), a somewhat different picture could emerge, including a number of instances where the A.V. alone among these verses reproduces a Wycliffite turn of language.

Headwords are given in modern spelling. An asterisk indicates obsolete or archaic. With some exceptions, only the first occurrence of a word is cited. In the notes (column the currency of the word is noted from the OED, and further details are given where the OED's evidence is revealing or inadequate (inclusion of 'OED' before the lexicographical information usually indicates that the OED's evidence needs revision in the light of the example). Occasionally Strong's account of the Hebrew word in question has been added.

Where more than one version gives the same reading, the spelling is taken from the earliest version. Since this involved a change of policy late in the work, it is one possible source of error among many where this kind of correlation is concerned.

Within the text, the Bishops' Bible occasionally indicates additions through the use of square brackets and smaller type (see, e.g., 'a-mocking'). Such additions should not be confused with my annotations, which are also given in square brackets, but in normal type. The Bishops' Bible's presentation of marginal notes is inconsistent and so has not been followed.
