Not me... At least not completely, and definitely not in English (in English the only one available around here- P.R.- is the King James version), since my first language is Spanish and there are more different Spanish translations available to read giving me more variety and, I think, that the more different translations you read the more accurate and closer your idea may be to what the original author was actually trying to express (a lot gets lost in translation).

My first was the old 1901 American Standard Bible. Since I have read more modern versions. Parts where the law and regulations is tedious reading, but I still scan those parts quickly to see what I missed before. Since I am 71, I have had time to read more than most.

Yes I have read the Old Testament
6 different translations.
The best is with a Hebrew and a Greek concordance.

Several different translations and yes I have many times.
Ezekiel is kind of bad with the temple building and all and some of the genology stuff seems to put me to sleep.
But I like Isaiah, Daniel and the psalms and proverbs.

I've read it several times. I think we have about 4-6 different versions in the house

I have read the KJV OT, the Torah and the Koran, so that might just count as three times, right?

I have read it in both the King James version and the New American Standard version.

I am still reading it as well. I am studying in three translations, KJV, NKJV and NIV.
I feel its important to study the OT as well to see how God weaves it all together perfectly and beautifully.

I am new to bible study but I have been reading the NIV version & believe to understand the NT you have to also study the OT.

Yes, I read it. Including the Deuterocanonical books (aka the "Apocrypha"). New English Bible. (Not the "Revised English Bible," the earlier version.)
