THE
COMPANION BIBLE was first published in 1909, Dr. E. W. Bullinger, Editor.

Dr. Bullinger’s name does NOT appear in or on the THE COMPANION
BIBLE,
“this
Edition is not associated with the name of any man;
so that its
usefulness may neither be influenced nor limited by any such
consideration;
but that it may commend itself, on its own merits, to
the whole English-speaking race.”

Dr.
Ethelbert W. Bullinger
1837-1913

Dr. E.W. Bullinger continues to be recognized as one of the greatest
Bible scholars of the early twentieth century. Unsurpassed even today, his
easy to read books and essays are critically acclaimed. Bullinger's
comprehensive and detailed study of figures of speech in the Bible has
never been superseded. His Bible commentaries, Greek lexicon, textual
notes, and numerous expositional studies continue to inform students of
the Scriptures. Behind his many interesting scholarly works, however, is
the engaging life story of a young chorister from Canterbuy Cathedral
whose voice would be heard around the world through the printed
page.

PREFACE.

THE COMPANION BIBLE is a
new Edition of the English Bible (new in 1909). Published originally in
six Parts, it is now presented in one Volume, and the description which
follows shows that the Work is a self-explanatory Bible designed for the
general use of all English readers throughout the world.

It has an amount of
information (much of it hitherto inaccessible to the ordinary English
reader) in its wide margins not to be found in any edition of the A.V.
extant. Its position, in these respects, is unique.

In size and weight, and
type and paper, as well as price, it will compare favourably with all
existing editions.

It is called THE COMPANION
BIBLE because its wide margin is intended to be a Companion to the Text;
and the whole is designed as the Companion of all readers of the
Bible.

The human element is
excluded, as far as possible, so that the reader may realize that the
pervading object of the book is not merely to enable him to interpret the
Bible, but to make the Bible the interpreter of God's Word, and Will, to
him.

To the same end this
Edition is not associated with the name of any man; so that its usefulness
may neither be influenced nor limited by any such consideration; but that
it may commend itself, on its own merits, to the whole English-speaking
race.

It is NOT A NEW
Translation.

It is NOT AN AMENDED
Translation.

It is NOT A COMMENTARY.

THE TEXT.

The Text is that of the
Authorized Version of 1611 as published by the Revisers in their "Parallel
Bible" in 1886.

There are NO ALTERATIONS in
the Text beyond what can be effected by a variation in the character of
the TYPE. Hence, there is nothing that affects the ear when reading it
aloud; but only that which meets the eye in order to call attention to
important facts and truths.

All ancient readings and
new and amended renderings are confined to the margin; which, for this
purpose, extends to one-half the width of the page.

There are no minute English
or Greek "superior" letters to confuse the Text; or to perplex the reader
when searching for the corresponding number or letter in the margin.

THE TYPES EMPLOYED IN THE TEXT.

1. These distinguish ALL
the Divine Names and Titles.

2. (See Ap. 4.) All
pronouns used for the above have their initials indicated by capital
letters.

3. The pronouns, &c.,
emphasized in the Original are in special type.

4. Attention is given to
the capital and small letters in other cases where they affect
interpretation.

5. The words spoken or
cited are placed within quotation marks.

6. Where the Hebrew Text is
written in separate lines, these lines are preserved by being presented in
the same way in the present Edition.

7. In the Book of Psalms,
the Titles will be printed so as to present the super-scriptions and
sub-scriptions as brought to light and demonstrated by Dr. J. W.
Thirtle.

8. In the New Testament,
all quotations from the Old Testament will also be specially
indicated.

9. Proper Names with their
pronunciation, &c., are included in a special Appendix, No. 52.

The chapters and verses of
the Authorized Version are retained; but spaces are introduced to mark
them off into paragraphs; so that the advantages of both Verses and
Paragraphs are retained. These paragraphs are not divided according to the
usual Paragraph Bibles, but according to the Structures (see page viii),
which are given in the right-hand margin; while the corresponding
Index-letters are repeated in the left-hand margin, by the side of the
Text with the number of the page where they may be found; so that the
subjects of the various Paragraphs (or Members) may be seen at a glance,
and be intelligently followed.

The other figures in the
left-hand margin are the B.C. dates.

THE MARGIN.

A small circle (°) against
a word or words in the Text calls attention to the same word or words
which are REPEATED in the right-hand margin, with the number of the verse
to which they belong.

In order to save
repetition, and economize valuable space in the margin, words in the Text
on which a note has already been given in a preceding verse in the same
chapter, and to which the same note applies, are marked with the number of
the verse in which such note is given.

When these words are
referred to there will be found no "views" expressed, but only facts which
are incontrovertible, and information which is indispensable.

Where references are given,
these are not merely to PARALLEL PASSAGES, or to the same ENGLISH words,
which are often as unnecessary as they are misleading; but only to those
passages which explain the words in the Original, and which throw light
upon their truth and teaching.

If an amended rendering is
suggested in the margin, and several references follow, then the reader
knows that he has before him ALL the occurrences of such words in the
Original. Where there is "&c." at the end of such references, then he
will know that the Hebrew or Greek word in question occurs too many times
for all the passages to be given; but that a sufficient number is selected
as evidence in favour of such amended rendering. Thus the reader will be
able to judge for himself as to the accuracy of what is suggested: and the
Bible becomes its own interpreter.

THE MARGINAL NOTES.

1. In the OLD TESTAMENT all
the important readings will be given1 according to Dr. C. D. Ginsburg's
Massoretico-Critical Text of the Hebrew Bible2.

2. In the NEW TESTAMENT all
the important readings will be given according to the evidence of the
great textual critics, Griesbach, Lachmann, Tischendorf, Tregelles,
Alford, Westcott and Hort, and the Revisers' Greek Text.

3. There are no words in
Hebrew or Greek characters to burden or hinder the English reader. But a
complete system of Transliteration, generally approved by Oriental
Scholars (see p. x), will enable him readily to put back all such words
into the Original characters with ease and accuracy. The Hebrew words are
given not in the Inflection found in the Text, but in the root-form in
which they will be looked for in Lexicons.

4. All important
emendations are given--

(a) Whether required by the
above readings,

(b) Or demanded for the
sake of uniformity in translation,

(c) Or, where the current
renderings are inadequate and open to amendment 3: not otherwise, or
merely for the sake of giving an alternative.

5. The facts and phenomena
treasured up in the Massōorah are for the first time presented in
connection with the A.V. 2 (see Ap. 30).

6. All Figures of Speech
are noted, and their bearing on interpretation1. These are the Holy
Spirit's own markings, calling attention to what is emphatic, and worthy
of our deepest attention (see Ap. 6).

7. The spiritual
significance of Numbers is pointed out1 (see Ap. 10).

8. The principal synonymous
words in the Original are distinguished, especially those bearing on sin,
atonement, and psychology.

9. The first occurrences of
important words and expressions are duly noted1.

10. The most recent
Archæeological discoveries in Assyria, Egypt, &c., are included.

11. Eastern manners and
customs are explained, as they throw light on the Scriptures.

12. The meanings of Proper
Names of persons or places are given where these are suggestive.

13. Money and Coins,
Weights and Measures, are referred in every case to Appendix 51.

14. Chronology is dealt
with on Biblical lines, which proceed on durations rather than dates.
These are adhered to as given in the Bible itself, and are not adapted or
made to conform to any system. This transforms a dry study into a subject
of deepest interest. The various Charts and Tables are given in Appendix
50.

15. The Structures of the
Books are given, and all their parts: which are the surest guide to their
interpretation, and the strongest proof of their inspiration1. (See p.
viii.)

1 This is the first time
that these have been presented in connection with the Authorized
Version.

2 These were inaccessible
to the past generation of Commentators and Translators.

3 By copying out the A.V.,
and substituting these amended renderings, the student may make his own
new Revised Version.

The marginal notes do not
record every POSSIBLE Reading or Emendation, as these would only load the
pages with a mass of needless matter. Only those new readings and
renderings are given which will remove difficulties from the Text,
enlighten the eyes, inform the mind, affect the conscience, instruct the
head, and influence the life.

Several of the above points
are, for the first time, placed within the reach of the ordinary English
reader.

THE STRUCTURES

Referred to on p. vii make
THE COMPANION BIBLE an unique edition, and require a special notice.

They give, not a mere
Analysis evolved from the Text by human ingenuity, but a Symmetrical
Exhibition of the Word itself, which may be discerned by the humblest
reader of the Sacred Text, and seen to be one of the most important
evidences of the Divine Inspiration of its words.

For these Structures
constitute a remarkable phenomenon peculiar to Divine Revelation; and are
not found outside it in any other form of known literature.

This distinguishing feature
is caused by the repetition of subjects which reappear1, either in
alternation or introversion, or a combination of both in many divers
manners.

This repetition is called
"Correspondence", which may be by way of similarity of contrast; synthetic
or antithetic.

The subjects of the various
Members are indicated by letters, which are quite arbitrary and are used
only for convenience. The subject of one Member is marked by a letter in
Roman type, while the repetition of it is marked by the same letter in
Italic type. These are always in line (vertically), one with the
other.

When the alphabet is
exhausted, it is repeated, as often as may be necessary.

The Structure of the whole
book is given at the commencement of each book; and all the succeeding
Structures are the expansion of this.

Each Structure is referred
back to the page containing the larger Member, of which it is an expansion
or development.

The large Members forming a
telescopic view of the whole book are thus expanded, divided, and
subdivided, until chapters and paragraphs, and even verses and sentences,
are seen to form part of a wondrous whole, giving a microscopic view of
its manifold details, and showing forth the fact, that while the works of
the LORD are great and perfect, the WORD of the LORD is the greatest of
His works, and is "perfect" also (Psalm 19. 7).

THE APPENDIXES

Contain a large amount of
information bearing on the various questions raised by the phenomena of
the Sacred Text.

Those issued with each of
the four volumes pertain principally to such volumes. But in the complete
Bible they will all be placed together at the end.

The number of those which
are given with the Pentateuch may be out of proportion to the total
number, because those issued with Genesis are needed not only for that
book, but many of them (such as the Chronological Tables, &c.) contain
information that will be required and referred to throughout the
Bible.

The order of the Appendixes
is determined for the most part by the order in which the subjects are
raised in the Text of the Bible.

1 It is this repetition
which has made possible the system of Bible-marking known by some as
"Railways.”

EXPLANATIONS.

REFERENCES. Where there is
no name of a book in the margin, the reference is always to the same book
, and all the References in the margin are to The Companion Bible, not to
any Edition of the, A.V., or R.V.

SUPERIOR FIGURES, in the
Text, always refer to the verse, so numbered, in the same chapter.

The repetition of the same
subject in a note is sometimes indicated by its initial (capital)
letter.

The figures in the
left-hand margin relate to two separate matters. Those in brackets, with a
"p", refer to the number of the page on which the corresponding letter and
member will be found. The number of the page so indicated holds good until
another page number is given.

The other figures refer to
the B.C. dates.
