Also, words like 'co.,.ck' and 'p...oo' used in the context we see today are modern slang that originated far after the naming of these animals. At the time of their taxonomy these names wouldn't have been vulgar in the slightest.

Dear Miss Block,
We know very well that the
Bible was originally written down in the vernaculars of the ancient world,
Hebrew and the
Grease Language. However, that was not
God's Intention.
Jesus was actually
fluent in the American tongue and He conceived the
King James Bible from the beginning (John 1:1-2) to be the Ultimate Form of His Will. In
American. When other (minor) original languages take precedence, they are
clearly marked in the KJV Bible as foreign:
Ezra 4:7
And in the days of Artaxerxes wrote Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of their companions, unto Artaxerxes king of Persia; and the writing of the letter was written in the Syrian tongue, and interpreted in the Syrian tongue.
Daniel 2:4
Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriack, O king, live for ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation.
In these cases, when referring to documents of the ancient world, the
vernacular is the
original. In all other cases,
American takes precedence.
Yours in Christ,
Elmer
