A Portion of the Bay Psalm Book with the Divine Name Iehovah
This day in history: A Bay Psalm Book was auctioned off on this day in 1947 for $151,000.00.
"THE first piece of literature known to have been written and published in England’s American colonies was the Bay Psalm Book. Its original edition was printed by Stephen Daye in the Massachusetts Bay Colony during the year 1640. That early publication contained the Bible book of Psalms, translated from Hebrew into the English language as spoken and written at that time." Source
It is interesting to note that this, the first ever book published in British North America contained the Divine Name Iehovah quite a few times, as is evidenced in the image above.
