Did Shakespeare have anything to do with writing the bible?

No. The Bible was entirely writtencertainly before 200 AD, long before Shakespeare was born. The King James Translation of the Bible was first published during Shakespeare's lifetime, but Shakespeare had nothing to do with it. Hehad only a grammar school education and was not a cleric andso would under no circumstances have been called upon to help with the project.Nor is the text in any wayconsistent with his writing style, although it is also in Early Modern English. For example,Shakespeare's works exhibit a huge vocabulary of some 36,000 words, whereas the King James Bible uses only about 8,000. Although the translation is beautiful, it does not sound like Shakespeare.

Did Shakespeare help translate the King James bible?

Probably not. It has been said that Shakespeare worked his name into the King James Version of the bible. At the time Psalm 46 was translated, Shakespeare was 46 years old. The forty-sixth word in the King James Version of Psalm 46 is "shake," while the word that is forty-sixth from the end is "spear." While this seems like too many appearances of 46 to be coincidential, it may very well be. At least three translations prior to the KJV use the words "shake" and "spear." The placement of the words, however, varies. It may be that someone translating the KJV doctored the translation to put each half of Shakespeare's name forty-six words from each end of the psalm, but the words themselves were probably not selected for that reason. It is noteworthy that the New King James retains the same phenomenon.
