The translation is known as the 'Genevan' the first edition of which was printed in 1560. It is popularly called the 'Breeches' Bible because of the rendering of Genesis iii, Verse vii :

"Then the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked, and they sewed fig tree leaves together, and made themselves breeches" instead of : "And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves aprons".

The word 'Breeches' instead of 'Aprons' distinguished several much older versions. The edition is much rarer than the majority of the issues of the 'Peoples Bible' which ceased to be printed in 1616, but for a much later period was imported into England until finally what is termed the 'Authorised Version' became the accepted text.
