King James Bible First English Translation?

No, the King James Bible was not the first English translation.

However, it was the King James Version that surpassed its predecessors, commissioned by King James I and meticulously crafted by scholars referencing original Hebrew and Greek texts.

The translators used the best available Hebrew and Greek texts, and they tried to create a translation that was both accurate and readable.

The King James Bible quickly became the standard English translation of the Bible. It was used in churches and schools, and it was also popular among ordinary people.  

The King James Bible has had a profound impact on English literature and culture.
