Chapter 6 of Exodus—New World Translation (NWT)

  1. ¶ So Jehovah said to Moses: “Now you will see what I shall do to Pharʹaoh,1 because on account of a strong hand he will send them away and on account of a strong hand he will drive them out of his land.”2
  2. ¶ And God[a] went on to speak to Moses and to say to him: “I am Jehovah.3
  3. And I used to appear to Abraham,4 Isaac5 and Jacob6 as God Almighty,[b]7 but as respects my name Jehovah[c]8 I did not make myself known9 to them.[d]
  4. And I also established my covenant with them to give them the land of Caʹnaan, the land of their alien residences in which they resided as aliens.10
  5. And I, even I, have heard the groaning of the sons of Israel,11 whom the Egyptians are enslaving, and I remember my covenant.12
  6. ¶ “Therefore say to the sons of Israel, ‘I am Jehovah, and I shall certainly bring YOU out from under the burdens of the Egyptians and deliver YOU from their slavery,13 and I shall indeed reclaim YOU with an outstretched arm and with great judgments.14
  7. And I shall certainly take YOU to me as a people,[e]15 and I shall indeed prove to be God[f] to YOU;[g]16 and YOU will certainly know that I am Jehovah YOUR God who is bringing YOU out from under the burdens of Egypt.17
  8. And I shall certainly bring YOU into the land that I raised my hand in oath18 to give to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; and I shall indeed give it to YOU as something to possess.19 I am Jehovah.’”20
  9. ¶ Afterward Moses spoke to this effect to the sons of Israel, but they did not listen to Moses out of discouragement[h] and for the hard slavery.21
  10. ¶ Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying:
  11. “Go in, speak to Pharʹaoh, Egypt’s king,22 that he should send the sons of Israel away out of his land.”23
  12. However, Moses spoke before Jehovah, saying: “Look! The sons of Israel have not listened to me;24 and how will Pharʹaoh ever listen to me,25 as I am uncircumcised in lips?”[i]26
  13. But Jehovah continued to speak to Moses and Aaron and to issue the command by them to the sons of Israel and to Pharʹaoh, Egypt’s king, in order to bring the sons of Israel out from the land of Egypt.27
  14. ¶ These are the heads of the house of their fathers: The sons of Reuʹben, Israel’s firstborn,28 were Haʹnoch and Palʹlu, Hezʹron and Carʹmi.29 These are the families of Reuʹben.30
  15. ¶ And the sons of Simʹe·on were Jem·uʹel and Jaʹmin and Oʹhad and Jaʹchin and Zoʹhar and Shaʹul the son of a Caʹnaan·ite woman.31 These are the families of Simʹe·on.32
  16. ¶ And these are the names of the sons of Leʹvi,33 according to their family descents:34 Gerʹshon and Koʹhath and Me·rarʹi.35 And the years of Leʹvi’s life were a hundred and thirty-seven years.
  17. ¶ The sons of Gerʹshon were Libʹni and Shimʹe·i,36 according to their families.37
  18. ¶ And the sons of Koʹhath were Amʹram and Izʹhar and Heʹbron and Uzʹzi·el.38 And the years of Koʹhath’s life were a hundred and thirty-three years.
  19. ¶ And the sons of Me·rarʹi were Mahʹli and Muʹshi.39
    ¶ These were the families of the Levites, according to their family descents.40
  20. ¶ Now Amʹram took Jochʹe·bed his father’s sister as his wife.41 Later she bore him Aaron and Moses.42 And the years of Amʹram’s life were a hundred and thirty-seven years.
  21. ¶ And the sons of Izʹhar were Koʹrah43 and Neʹpheg and Zichʹri.
  22. ¶ And the sons of Uzʹzi·el were Mishʹa·el and El·zaʹphan and Sithʹri.44
  23. ¶ Now Aaron took E·liʹshe·ba, Am·minʹa·dab’s daughter, the sister of Nahʹshon,45 as his wife. Later she bore him Naʹdab and A·biʹhu, El·e·aʹzar and Ithʹa·mar.46
  24. ¶ And the sons of Koʹrah were Asʹsir and El·kaʹnah and A·biʹa·saph.47 These were the families of the Koʹrah·ites.48
  25. ¶ And El·e·aʹzar, Aaron’s son,49 took for himself one of the daughters of Puʹti·el as his wife. Later she bore him Phinʹe·has.50
    ¶ These are the heads of the fathers of the Levites, according to their families.51
  26. ¶ This is the Aaron and Moses to whom Jehovah said:52 “BRING the sons of Israel out from the land of Egypt according to their armies.”53
  27. They were the ones speaking to Pharʹaoh, Egypt’s king, to bring the sons of Israel out from Egypt.54 This is the Moses and Aaron.
  28. ¶ And it came about on the day that Jehovah spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt,55
  29. that Jehovah went on to speak to Moses, saying: “I am Jehovah.56 Speak to Pharʹaoh king of Egypt everything I am speaking to you.”
  30. Then Moses said before Jehovah: “Look! I am uncircumcised in lips, so how will Pharʹaoh ever listen to me?”57

    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!
