Chapter 3 of Deuteronomy—New World Translation (NWT)

  1. ¶ “Then we turned and went up by the way of Baʹshan. At this Og1 the king of Baʹshan came on out, he and all his people, to meet us in battle at Edʹre·i.2
  2. So Jehovah said to me, ‘Do not be afraid of him,3 for I shall certainly give him and all his people and his land into your hand; and you must do to him just as you did to Siʹhon4 the king of the Amʹor·ites, who was dwelling in Heshʹbon.’
  3. Accordingly Jehovah our God gave into our hand also Og the king of Baʹshan and all his people, and we kept striking him until he had no survivor remaining.5
  4. And we went capturing all his cities at that particular time. There proved to be no town that we did not take from them, sixty cities,6 all the region of Arʹgob,7 the kingdom of Og in Baʹshan.8
  5. All these were cities fortified with a high wall, doors and bar, aside from very many rural towns.
  6. However, we devoted them to destruction,9 just as we had done to Siʹhon the king of Heshʹbon, in devoting every city to destruction, men, women and little children.10
  7. And all the domestic animals and the spoil of the cities we took as plunder for ourselves.11
  8. ¶ “And we proceeded to take at that particular time the land from the hand of the two kings of the Amʹor·ites12 who were in the region of the Jordan, from the torrent valley of Arʹnon13 as far as Mount Herʹmon;14
  9. (the Si·doʹni·ans used to call Herʹmon Sirʹi·on,15 and the Amʹor·ites used to call it Seʹnir,)[a]16
  10. all the cities of the tableland and all Gilʹe·ad and all Baʹshan as far as Salʹe·cah17 and Edʹre·i,18 the cities of the kingdom of Og in Baʹshan.
  11. For only Og the king of Baʹshan remained of what was left of the Rephʹa·im.19 Look! His bier was a bier of iron.[b] Is it not in Rabʹbah20 of the sons of Amʹmon? Nine cubits[c] is its length, and four cubits its width, by the cubit of a man.
  12. And we took possession of this land at that particular time; from A·roʹer,21 which is by the torrent valley of Arʹnon, and[d] half of the mountainous region of Gilʹe·ad, and its cities I have given to the Reuʹben·ites and the Gadʹites.22
  13. And the rest of Gilʹe·ad23 and all Baʹshan24 of the kingdom of Og I have given to the half tribe of Ma·nasʹseh. All the region of Arʹgob25 of all Baʹshan, is it not called the land of the Rephʹa·im?26
  14. ¶ “Jaʹir27 the son of Ma·nasʹseh took all the region of Arʹgob28 as far as the boundary of the Geshʹur·ites29 and the Ma·acʹa·thites,30 and he proceeded to call those villages of Baʹshan[e] by his own name, Havʹvoth-jaʹir,[f]31 to this day.
  15. And to Maʹchir32 I have given Gilʹe·ad.33
  16. And to the Reuʹben·ites34 and the Gadʹites I have given from Gilʹe·ad35 to the torrent valley of Arʹnon, the middle of the torrent valley being a boundary, and as far as Jabʹbok, the torrent valley that is the boundary of the sons of Amʹmon;36
  17. and the Arʹa·bah[g] and the Jordan and the border, from Chinʹne·reth37 to the sea of the Arʹa·bah, the Salt Sea,38 at the base of the slopes of Pisʹgah39 toward the sunrising.
  18. ¶ “So I commanded YOU men at that particular time, saying, ‘Jehovah YOUR God has given YOU this land to take possession of it. YOU will pass over, equipped, before YOUR brothers, the sons of Israel, all the valiant men.[h]40
  19. Only YOUR wives and YOUR little ones and YOUR livestock (I well know that YOU have a great deal of livestock) will continue dwelling in YOUR cities that I have given YOU,41
  20. until Jehovah gives YOUR brothers rest, as well as YOU, and they also have taken possession of the land that Jehovah YOUR God is giving them across the Jordan; after which YOU must come back, each one to his holding that I have given YOU.’42
  21. ¶ “And I commanded Joshua43 at that particular time, saying, ‘Your eyes are seeing all that Jehovah YOUR God has done to these two kings. The same way Jehovah will do to all the kingdoms to which you are passing over there.44
  22. YOU men must not be afraid of them, for Jehovah YOUR God is the One fighting for YOU.’45
  23. ¶ “And I proceeded to implore favor from Jehovah at that particular time, saying,
  24. ‘O Sovereign Lord Jehovah, you yourself have started to make your servant see your greatness46 and your strong arm,47 for who is a god[i] in the heavens or on the earth that does deeds like yours and mighty performances like yours?48
  25. Let me pass over, please, and see the good land49 that is across the Jordan, this good mountainous region50 and Lebʹa·non.’51
  26. And Jehovah continued to be furious[j] against me on YOUR account52 and did not listen to me; but Jehovah said to me, ‘That is enough of you! Never speak to me further on this matter.
  27. Go up to the top of Pisʹgah53 and raise your eyes to the west and north and south and east and see with your eyes, for you will not pass over this Jordan.54
  28. And commission55 Joshua and encourage him and strengthen him, because he is the one to pass over56 before this people and he is the one to cause them to inherit the land that you will see.’57
  29. All this while we were dwelling in the valley in front of Beth-peʹor.58

    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!
