The other is about the animals."},{"l":"What you are seeing","t":"The first noun in the verse is aule, a fold or enclosure. The second is poimne, a flock. The Greek says other sheep not of this aule, and they shall become one poimne, one shepherd. The King James printed fold for both, following the Vulgate's ovile."},{"l":"Why translators split","t":"English has both words. The error is not in the language but in the 1611 rendering, which follows the Latin rather than the Greek."},{"l":"The rule to carry away","t":"Where the King James follows the Vulgate against the Greek, a real correction is available and the modern versions have made it."},{"l":"Choosing between them","t":"One flock is what modern versions overwhelmingly print, and outside the King James tradition the correction is universal."},{"l":"The word","t":"\u03b1\u1f50\u03bb\u03ae aule \u00b7 G833 \/ \u03c0\u03bf\u03af\u03bc\u03bd\u03b7 poimne \u00b7 G4167"}],"src":["aule at John 10:1, 16a","poimne at John 10:16b","Vulgate ovile for both; the King James follows it"]}
