| # Dutch Staten Vertaling (1637) |
|
|
| ## Description |
|
|
| The Statenvertaling (States Translation) is the first official Dutch Bible translation, commissioned by the Synod of Dordrecht in 1618-1619 and published in 1637. It was translated from the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts by a team of scholars. The Statenvertaling is the Dutch equivalent of the King James Version — it shaped the Dutch language and remained the standard Bible in Dutch Protestant churches for centuries. It includes the Protestant canon (66 books). |
