“PEEK A BOO! GUESS WHO’S BEHIND THE ESV?”

Why … let’s take a look! This won’t take long!

In constructing the tabernacle in the desert, God gives the following instructions:

The King James Bible says “And he (Moses) made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers' skins above that.” (Exodus 36:19)

… with “dyed red” representing animal blood for the covering of sins, and the badger being the natural and deadly enemy of the serpent (Genesis 3:1).

Dear Reader, take a couple minutes, and Google up a badger fighting a snake … no contest my friend … the badger is lightning fast … whack! Right behind the head! All over Red Rover!

And in addition, should the snake manage to bite the badger, the badger will not be harmed, as it is impervious to any snake poison!

Yes Dear Reader, from up on high in the sky, God looked down at the tabernacle as it journeyed through the desert and said to himself “Ah! That’s my tabernacle alright! Blood and badgers … blood for sin and badger death to the serpent Satan.”

Now the RSV Roman Catholic Edition says “And he made for the tent a covering of tanned rams’ skins and goatskins.”

and word for word we have …

The English Standard Version says “And he made for the tent a covering of tanned rams’ skins and goatskins.” (Exodus 36:19)

Why … looky there! NO blood and NO badgers!

What ‘wonderful’ version has Rome foisted on the Christian?

It’s bastard offspringthe ‘wonderful’ ESV!

(We’ll do a run down on the ESV Preface real soon folks).

Now we all know that Rome has booked its spot in the lake of fire, and if they can’t take a Christian there, at least their publication of the  ESV can take away some of the glory of the old testament tabernacle … being a type and foreshadow of Christ to come … with Christ’s blood on the cross and defeat of Satan.


And to finish off … what do we have with Rome’s other publications?

Hold the phone … the NIV and the NASB have hides of sea cows and porpoise skins!


The NIV says “Then they made for the tent a covering of rams skins dyed red, and over that a covering of hides of sea cows.”


The NASB says “And he made a covering for the tent of rams skins dyed red, and a covering of porpoise skins above that.”

As someone once said “If it wasn’t so serious, it would be funny!”


“Watch out you snakes! Don’t worry about the badgers! Just don’t tangle with those porpoises and sea cows … they’ll kill you!
