more on the kjv is not the truth
Here is more king james and why it is not the right one for me or us.
Gen 2 18 18And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. 1
What is s “help meet.? Not a typo folks that is what the book said. Look it up.
Gen 22 8 8And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.2 king james
8 And Abraham said, “My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering.” So the two of them went together.3
Genesis 22:8: One of the greatest verses in the Bible proclaiming that Jesus Christ was God in the flesh: "God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering:" The NKJV adds that little word "for": "God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering" And destroys the wonderful promise! Where'd they get their little "for"? From the NASV!
It does not change the meaning. It is a little more clear in the new king james to me.
Gen 24 47 47 Then I asked her, and said, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ And she said, ‘The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bore to him.’ So I put the nose ring on her nose and the bracelets on her wrists.4
king James 47 And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.

greek means 5141 נֶזֶם [nexem /neh·zem/] n m. From an unused root of uncertain meaning; TWOT 1338a; GK 5690; 17 occurrences; AV translates as “earring” 14 times, and “jewel” three times. 1 ring, nose ring, earring. 1a nose ring (woman’s ornament). 1b earring (ornament of men or women).
I looked this Nose Jewels in the Bible Almanac I have and on page 484 they talk about the nose jewels. They were worn in the near east. The ring was made out of ivory and perilous metals. It was worn by dancing girls.
Also on my bible software this is said
Earrings were worn by men, women, and children in the ancient world (Ex. 32:2–3; Num. 31:50; Judg. 8:25–26). They were loops worn alone or with pendants attached. Earrings were made from various metals and stones and were sometimes inlaid with gems. Nose rings were worn mostly by women (Gen. 24:47) and were sometimes decorated with jewels (Is. 3:21).5
