Chapter 2 of Deuteronomy—New American Standard Bible (NASB)

  1. ¶ “1Then we turned and set out for the wilderness by the way to the [a]Red Sea, as the LORD spoke to me, and circled 2Mount Seir for many days.
  2. And the LORD spoke to me, saying,
  3. ‘You have circled this mountain long enough. Now turn north,
  4. 3and command the people, saying, “You will pass through the 4territory of your brothers the sons of Esau who live in Seir; and 5they will be afraid of you. So be very careful;
  5. do not [b]provoke them, for I will not give you any of their land, even as little as a [c]footstep 6because I have given Mount Seir to Esau as a possession.
  6. You shall buy food from them with money so that you may eat, and you shall also purchase water from them with money so that you may drink.
  7. For the LORD your God has blessed you in all [d]that you have done; He has known your [e]wanderings through this 7great wilderness. These 8forty years the LORD your God has been with you; you have not lacked a thing.”’
  8. ¶ “So we passed beyond our brothers the sons of Esau, who live in Seir, away from the 9Arabah road, away from Elath and 10from Ezion-geber. And we turned and passed through by the way of the wilderness of Moab.
  9. Then the LORD said to me, ‘Do not harass Moab, nor provoke them to war, for I will not give you any of [f]their land as a possession, because I have given 11Ar to 12the sons of Lot as a possession.’
  10. (The 13Emim lived there formerly, a people as great, numerous, and tall as the Anakim.
  11. Like the Anakim, they are also regarded as 14Rephaim, but the Moabites call them Emim.
  12. 15The Horites formerly lived in Seir, but the sons of Esau dispossessed them and destroyed them from before them and settled in their place, 16just as Israel did to the land of [g]their possession which the LORD gave to them.)
  13. ‘Now arise and cross over the [h]brook Zered yourselves.’ So we crossed over the [i]brook Zered.
  14. Now the [j]time that it took for us to come from Kadesh-barnea until we crossed over the [k]brook Zered was 17thirty-eight years, until 18all the generation of the men of war perished from within the camp, as 19the LORD had sworn to them.
  15. 20Moreover the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from within the camp until they all perished.
  16. ¶ “So it came about when 21all the men of war had finally perished from among the people,
  17. that the LORD spoke to me, saying,
  18. ‘Today you shall cross over 22Ar, the border of Moab.
  19. When you come opposite the 23sons of Ammon, do not harass them nor provoke them, for I will not give you any of the land of the sons of Ammon as a possession, because I have given it to 24the sons of Lot as a possession.’
  20. (It is also regarded as the land of the 25Rephaim, for Rephaim formerly lived in it, but the Ammonites call them Zamzummin,
  21. a people as great, numerous, and tall as the Anakim, but the LORD destroyed them before them. And they dispossessed them and settled in their place,
  22. just as He did for the sons of Esau, who 26live in Seir, when He destroyed 27the Horites from before them; they dispossessed them and settled in their place even to this day.
  23. And the 28Avvim, who lived in villages as far as Gaza, the [l]29Caphtorim who came from [m]30Caphtor, destroyed them and lived in their place.)
  24. ‘Arise, set out, and pass through the [n]31valley of Arnon. Look! I have given Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land into your hand; begin to take possession and contend with him in battle.
  25. This day I will begin to put 32the dread and fear of you [o]upon the peoples [p]everywhere under the heavens, who, when they hear the report of you, 33will tremble and be in anguish because of you.’
  26. ¶ “34So I sent messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
  27. ‘Let me pass through your land, I will [q]travel only on the highway; I will not turn aside to the right or to the left.
  28. You will sell me food for money so that I may eat, and give me water for money so that I may drink, 35only let me pass through on [r]foot,
  29. just as the sons of Esau who live in Seir and the Moabites who live in 36Ar did for me, until I cross over the Jordan into the land which the LORD our God is giving to us.’
  30. But 37Sihon king of Heshbon was not willing for us to pass [s]through his land; for the 38LORD your God hardened his spirit and made his heart obstinate, in order to deliver him into your hand, as he is today.
  31. The LORD said to me, ‘See, I have begun to deliver Sihon and his land [t]over to you. Begin to [u]occupy, that you may possess his land.’
  32. ¶ “Then Sihon [v]with all his people came out to meet us in battle at Jahaz.
  33. 39The LORD our God delivered him [w]over to us, and we [x]40defeated him with his sons and all his people.
  34. So we captured all his cities at that time and [y]41utterly destroyed [z]the men, women and children of every city. We left no survivor.
  35. We took 42only the animals as our booty and the spoil of the cities which we had captured.
  36. From 43Aroer which is on the edge of the [aa]valley of Arnon and from the city which is in the [ab]valley, even to Gilead, there was no city that was too high for us; the LORD our God delivered all [ac]over to us.
  37. 44Only you did not go near to the land of the sons of Ammon, all along the [ad]river 45Jabbok and the cities of the hill country, and wherever the LORD our God had commanded us.

    The NWT adds words to the text that are not in the greek Manuscripts to fit it's own doctrinal position for example

    Compare the wording of the NWT and the NKJV at Colossians 1:15-17

    NKJV says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

    NWT says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God,the firstborn OF all creation;16 because by means of him all OTHER things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All OTHER things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all OTHER things,and by means of him all OTHER things were made to exist,

    The word “other” is not in the Greek but they add it Why? So they can decieve their followers into thinking that Christ was created by the Father and that he then created other things, that is not what the Greek says.

      Truth is from God and those that follow him. As for lies? John8:44

      Kiamia, I noticed you used a modern version of kjv to make your point about the nwt.

      Why didn’t you use the original kjv of col1:15?

      Is it because it disproves your point? It proves the opposite of what you wrote?

      Here is kjv col1:15 ¶” Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn OF every creature:“

      Now I appeal to your Christian nature to correct your mistake as God is watching each of us, and let us bless the God of Jesus his father.

      Kjv 1Pe 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ….

    Joshua, Jehovah’s Witnesses have never denied the deity of the Messiah in his prehuman existence. While on Earth he was fully 100% human. I do not mean he was a mere human, he was not affected by Adam’s unfaithful behavior, he was sinless.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
