Judah was the legitimate succession of kings and priests with the saints—the holy priests and Levites being the fathers and prophets who handed down the pure worship of God.
Bible versions that agree with the KJB that Judah YET RULETH WITH GOD are:
Revised Version 1881 ASV 1901 RSV NRSV ESV 2011 Darby 1890 Youngs Geneva Bible 1587 Bishops’ Bible 1568 Green’s interlinear Hebrew Publishing Company Translation 1936 Third Millennium Bible 1998.

The NKJV puts a new twist on it “But Judah still walks with God, even with the Holy One, who is faithful.” The NKJV says it is God who is faithful, instead of Judah “ruling with God” and it changes “with the saints” to “with the Holy One”. The meaning is not the same.
So, why is this important?
It shows that one is right and another is wrong.

“Well, it doesn’t affect any major doctrine.”
How about the Doctrine of Preservation?
If God preserved His word, where is it?
If He didn’t preserve His word, how do we know anything?
