![]() ![]() ![]() James was not widely accepted until the 1600s when King James sponsored the translation called the “ Authorized Version.” In Exodus 3:15, we read, “Say this to the people of Israel: Yahweh, the God of your ancestors-The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob-has sent me to you.” If you have ever heard the book of James referred to as the ‘book of Jacob’ that is why. “James” is actually the result of a translation of the Jewish name Ya’akov and the Greek name lakobos.
