God and the N-word

I vaguely remember somewhere reading about the bowdlerizing of (what to us today would be) the word "n-word" in the King James version of the Bible, converting it to some obscure word instead. I can't remember where I read it --- was it the recent Gore Vidal review of the Thurnstrom's? Was it in Counterpunch?? Where oh where did I see this?

Does anyone know where this might have appeared, or know anything about what I'm talking about?

Bill
