The Revised Version was produced in the nineteenth century by a collaboration of British and American scholars. It was the first real revision of the KJV and the basis for the American Standard Version. It draws on manuscripts discovered in the 19th century and incorporates the improved understanding of Hebrew and Greek which came from them. The revisers tried as far as possible to translate particular words in the ancietn texts consistently by the same English word. The RV consequently has value for serious students who do not read theoriginal Bible languages.
