Who published and owns the copyright of your bible?
I now read a pre-Vatican 2 Douay-Rheims Bible translated from the original Latin Vulgate.

Genesis 3:15
3:15. I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel.


Does your bible use the word "capstone" instead of cornerstone?
Please list your bible's publisher and copyright owner.

I'm not so much a fan of the Vulgate, personally. I wish I had my translation comparison chart on hand, but I don't. Anyway, at the moment, I study from by NASB '95 update (next to interlinear, it's the strictest formal equivalent out there)--published by Zondervan and preach out of my NIV, also published by Zondervan. Hopefully, I can shelf that one here in the next few weeks. I'll be getting a thinline ESV to preach from--an outstanding formal equivalent that lends itself much better to public reading that the NASB.

Just to be sure, I also check these against the:

All these are on my computer via e-sword. One of these days, when I get through Greek IV, I'll get a Greek NT, but that won't be for a few years. *shrug*

I like my NASB, though :D
