Before today, I had never given any thought to the prospect that Shakespeare worked on the King James bible, but Lileks has a
theory: Take out the Selahs. Count 46 words from the start, and you get “Shake.” Then count 46 words from the end. You get “Spear.” The KJV was published in 1611; Shakespeare turned 46 in 1610.
Coincidence? Probably not, but who really knows? Or cares.
