It is said that he preached more than 200 times on this same passage.

Translation: This is a revision of the Bible by David Martin pastor in Wallonia, which was itself based on the Olivétan Bible. The aim of J.-F. Ostervald was above all to modernize the style and to change words which were no longer used because they were considered too old-fashioned. He therefore did not make a huge number of corrections to the accuracy of the text, but rather rectifications at the language level. In his revision, he also shares his arguments and thoughts with us.
