Chapter 14 of Genesis—New American Standard Bible (NASB)

  1. ¶ And it came about in the days of Amraphel king of 1Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of 2Elam, and Tidal king of [a]Goiim,
  2. that they made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of 3Admah, and Shemeber king of 4Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, 5Zoar).
  3. All these [b]came as allies to 6the valley of Siddim (that is, 7the Salt Sea).
  4. Twelve years they had served Chedorlaomer, but the thirteenth year they rebelled.
  5. In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him, came and [c]defeated the 8Rephaim in 9Ashteroth-karnaim and the Zuzim in Ham and the Emim in [d]10Shaveh-kiriathaim,
  6. and the 11Horites in their Mount Seir, as far as 12El-paran, which is by the wilderness.
  7. Then they turned back and came to En-mishpat (that is, 13Kadesh), and [e]conquered all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, who lived in 14Hazazon-tamar.
  8. And the king of Sodom and the king of Gomorrah and the king of Admah and the king of Zeboiim and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar) came out; and they arrayed for battle against them in 15the valley of Siddim,
  9. against Chedorlaomer king of Elam and Tidal king of [f]Goiim and Amraphel king of Shinar and Arioch king of Ellasar—four kings against five.
  10. Now the valley of Siddim was full of tar pits; and 16the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and they fell [g]into them. But those who survived fled to the 17hill country.
  11. Then they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their food supply, and departed.
  12. They also took Lot, 18Abram’s nephew, and his possessions and departed, 19for he was living in Sodom.
  13. ¶ Then [h]a fugitive came and told Abram the 20Hebrew. Now he was [i]living by the [j]21oaks of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and brother of Aner, and these were [k]22allies with Abram.
  14. When Abram heard that 23his [l]relative had been taken captive, he [m]led out his trained men, 24born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and went in pursuit as far as 25Dan.
  15. 26He divided [n]his forces against them by night, he and his servants, and [o]defeated them, and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is [p]north of 27Damascus.
  16. He 28brought back all the goods, and also brought back 29his [q]relative Lot with his possessions, and also the women, and the people.
  17. ¶ Then after his return from the [r]defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, 30the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the valley of Shaveh (that is, 31the King’s Valley).
  18. And 32Melchizedek king of Salem brought out 33bread and wine; now he was a 34priest of [s]God Most High.
  19. He blessed him and said,
    ¶ “Blessed be Abram of [t]God Most High,
    [u]35Possessor of heaven and earth;
  20. And blessed be [v]God Most High,
    Who has delivered your enemies into your hand.”
    36He gave him a tenth of all.
  21. The king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give the [w]people to me and take the goods for yourself.”
  22. Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have [x]sworn to the LORD [y]37God Most High, [z]38possessor of heaven and earth,
  23. that 39I will not take a thread or a sandal thong or anything that is yours, for fear you would say, ‘I have made Abram rich.’
  24. [aa]I will take nothing except what the young men have eaten, and the share of the men who went with me, 40Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their share.”

    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!
