The "Common Version" was released in 1833. His dictionary was released in 1829. Noah Webster was a devout christian scholar. Avoid his dictionary at your loss. BTW: Have you looked at his Common version?

David Daniel says : Not only was he uniquely qualified as an authority on contemporary English usage, but he also knew Hebrew and Greek, and so his revision "is extraordinary — for what it doesn't do." (The Bible in English, p. 650.)

Reviewers are constantly amazed at what Webster didn't do. . .he didn't give us a new version like the NKJV, he gave us a very light revision. I don't use it, but I am defending this great man as a great christian who called the KJV scripture! When he made his revision he knew he was handling the word of God. He went very gingerly and cautiously.

Write off Noah Webster at your own loss.
