What's the best version of the bible to read for literary purposes? I was thinking the KJ but I believe that was heavily edited to suit the needs of medieval Europe. Is there a version that more closely resembles the original version? Also, what order should it be read in?

No because humanities-plebs don't even have the chance to get a job. It's not even funny anymore.

KJ, of course. 90% of the literary references you'll come across are based on that, and the prose is lovely.
