This work is “Dedicated to the followers of the three Abrahamic Faiths
(Judaism, Christianity and Islam) who are committed to Peace.”
In this instance, I elected to utilize the King James’ translation as a historical text, rather than adapt a more modern,
more inclusive version. I am however open to setting it to an alternate text.
