Chapter 9 of Deuteronomy—New American Standard Bible (NASB)

  1. ¶ “Hear, O Israel! You are crossing over the Jordan today to go in to dispossess 1nations greater and mightier than you, great cities [a]2fortified to heaven,
  2. a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know and of whom you have heard it said, ‘3Who can stand before the sons of Anak?’
  3. Know therefore today that 4it is the LORD your God who is crossing over before you as 5a consuming fire. He will destroy them and He will subdue them before you, so that 6you may drive them out and destroy them quickly, just as the LORD has spoken to you.
  4. ¶ “7Do not say in your heart when the LORD your God has driven them out before [b]you, ‘Because of my righteousness the LORD has brought me in to possess this land,’ but it is 8because of the wickedness of these nations that the LORD is dispossessing them before you.
  5. It is 9not for your righteousness or for the uprightness of your heart that you are going to possess their land, but it is because of the wickedness of these nations that the LORD your God is driving them out before you, in order to confirm 10the [c]oath which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
  6. ¶ “Know, then, it is not because of your righteousness that the LORD your God is giving you this good land to possess, for you are 11a [d]stubborn people.
  7. Remember, do not forget how you provoked the LORD your God to wrath in the wilderness; 12from the day that you left the land of Egypt until you arrived at this place, you have been rebellious against the LORD.
  8. Even 13at Horeb you provoked the LORD to wrath, and the LORD was so angry with you that He would have destroyed you.
  9. When I went up to the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant which the LORD had made with you, then I remained on the mountain forty days and nights; 14I neither ate bread nor drank water.
  10. The LORD gave me the two tablets of stone 15written by the finger of God; and on them were all the words which the LORD had spoken with you at the mountain from the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly.
  11. It came about 16at the end of forty days and nights that the LORD gave me the two tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant.
  12. 17Then the LORD said to me, ‘Arise, go down from here quickly, for your people whom you brought out of Egypt have acted corruptly. They have 18quickly turned aside from the way which I commanded them; they have made a molten image for themselves.’
  13. The 19LORD spoke further to me, saying, ‘I have seen this people, and indeed, it is a [e]20stubborn people.
  14. 21Let Me alone, that I may destroy them and 22blot out their name from under heaven; and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.’
  15. ¶ “23So I turned and came down from the mountain while the mountain was burning with fire, and the two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands.
  16. And I saw that you had indeed sinned against the LORD your God. You had made for yourselves a molten calf; you had turned aside quickly from the way which the LORD had commanded you.
  17. I took hold of the two tablets and threw them from my hands and smashed them before your eyes.
  18. 24I fell down before the LORD, 25as at the first, forty days and nights; 26I neither ate bread nor drank water, 27because of all your sin which you had committed in doing what was evil in the sight of the LORD to provoke Him to anger.
  19. For 28I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure with which the LORD was wrathful against you in order to destroy you, 29but the LORD listened to me that time also.
  20. The LORD was angry enough with Aaron to destroy him; so I also prayed for Aaron at the same time.
  21. 30I took your [f]sinful thing, the calf which you had made, and burned it with fire and crushed it, grinding it very small until it was as fine as dust; and I threw its dust into the brook that came down from the mountain.
  22. ¶ “Again at 31Taberah and at 32Massah and at 33Kibroth-hattaavah you provoked the LORD to wrath.
  23. When the LORD sent you from 34Kadesh-barnea, saying, ‘35Go up and possess the land which I have given you,’ then you rebelled against the [g]command of the LORD your God; 36you neither believed Him nor listened to His voice.
  24. 37You have been rebellious against the LORD from the day I knew you.
  25. ¶ “38So I fell down before the LORD the forty days and nights, which I [h]did because the LORD had said He would destroy you.
  26. 39I prayed to the LORD and said, ‘O Lord GOD, do not destroy Your people, even Your inheritance, whom You have redeemed through Your greatness, whom You have brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
  27. Remember Your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; do not look at the stubbornness of this people or at their wickedness or their sin.
  28. Otherwise the land from which You brought us may say, “40Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which He had [i]promised them and because He hated them He has brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.”
  29. Yet they are Your people, even 41Your inheritance, whom You have brought out by Your 42great power and Your outstretched arm.’

    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!
