incarnation vs version

Hi:-)

Could you tell me the difference between "incarnation" and "version"?

I tried to make comparison but to no avail.

Thanks!

In the sense under consideration here: "incarnation" is literary in character "version" is as-used-in-business/common But "incarnation" is pretty much different from "version". You might say that definition 5 brings them close together, but ... book=Third&va=incarnated being or idea: as a (1) : the embodiment of a deity or spirit in some form of earthly existence (as a person, an animal, or a plant) (2) usually capitalized : the union of divinity with humanity in Jesus Christ b : a concrete or actual form incorporating or exemplifying a principle, ideal, or other quality or concept : EMBODIMENT <this busy grimy port, the very incarnation of commerce and industry>; especially : a person showing a trait or typical character to a marked degree <the very incarnation of deceit> 3 archaic : a rosy or red color : FLESH 6, CARNATION 4 archaic : a process or product of healing 5 : a period of incarnation : time passed in a particular bodily form or state <each incarnation leading to a higher> <the old building had passed through several incarnation s as church, workshop, stable, and finally tearoom> ----------
