Noah Webster's 1833 limited revision of the King James Bible focused
mainly on replacing archaic words and making simple grammatical
changes. For example: "why" instead of "wherefore", "its" instead of
"his" when referring to nonliving things, "male child" instead of
"manchild", etc. He also introduced euphemisms to remove words he
found offensive: "whore" becomes "lewd woman". Overall, very few
changes were made, and the result is a book which is almost
indistinguishable from the King James Bible. It has sometimes been
called the "Common Version" (which is not to be confused with the
Common Bible of 1973, an ecumencial edition of the Revised Standard
Version).
Modern critics are surprised by just how little Webster changed the King
James Bible. His revision was very light, as he did not want to make the
language wholly contemporary, but rather wanted to correct flaws he
disagreed with as an educator. Other, less orthodox Americans were
bringing out their own versions of the New Testament, but he had no
interest in theologically motivated changes. One notable change that
was beyond just revising language flaws was a correction changing the
word "Easter" in Acts 12:4 to the word "Passover".
