Chapter 5 of Leviticus—New World Translation (NWT)

  1. ¶ “‘Now in case a soul1 sins in that he has heard public cursing[a]2 and he is a witness or he has seen it or has come to know of it, if he does not report3 it, then he must answer for his error.
  2. ¶ “‘Or when a soul touches some unclean thing, whether the dead body of an unclean wild beast or the dead body of an unclean domestic animal or the dead body of an unclean swarming creature,4 although it has been hidden from him,5 still he is unclean[b] and has become guilty.6
  3. Or in case he touches the uncleanness[c] of a man as respects any uncleanness7 of his with which he may become unclean, although it had been hidden from him, and yet he himself has come to know it, then he has become guilty.
  4. ¶ “‘Or in case a soul swears to the extent of speaking thoughtlessly8 with his lips to do evil9 or to do good as respects anything at all that the man might speak thoughtlessly in a sworn statement,10 although it had been hidden from him, and yet he himself has come to know it, then he has become guilty as respects one of these things.
  5. ¶ “‘And it must occur that in case he becomes guilty as respects one of these things, then he must confess11 in what way he has sinned.
  6. And he must bring his guilt offering12 to Jehovah for his sin that he has committed, namely, a female from the flock, a female lamb or a female13 kid of the goats, for a sin offering; and the priest must make an atonement for him for his sin.14
  7. ¶ “‘If, though, he cannot afford[d] enough for a sheep,15 then he must bring as his guilt offering for the sin that he has committed two turtledoves16 or two young pigeons[e] to Jehovah, one for a sin offering17 and one for a burnt offering.
  8. And he must bring them to the priest, who must present first the one for the sin offering and nip18 off its head at the front of its neck, but he should not sever it.
  9. And he must spatter some of the blood of the sin offering upon the side of the altar, but the remainder of the blood will be drained out at the base of the altar.19 It is a sin offering.
  10. And the other one he will handle as a burnt offering according to the regular procedure;20 and the priest must make an atonement21 for him for his sin that he has committed, and so it must be forgiven him.22
  11. ¶ “‘Now if he does not have the means23 for two turtledoves or two young pigeons, then he must bring as his offering for the sin he has committed the tenth of an eʹphah[f]24 of fine flour for a sin offering. He must not put oil25 upon it and he must not place frankincense upon it, for it is a sin offering.26
  12. And he must bring it to the priest, and the priest must grasp from it his handful as a remembrancer27 of it and must make it smoke on the altar upon Jehovah’s offerings made by fire.28 It is a sin offering.29
  13. And the priest must make an atonement30 for him for his sin that he has committed, any one of these sins,[g] and so it must be forgiven him; and it must become the priest’s31 the same as a grain offering.’”
  14. ¶ And Jehovah continued to speak to Moses, saying:
  15. “In case a soul behaves unfaithfully in that he actually sins by mistake against the holy things of Jehovah,32 then he must bring as his guilt offering33 to Jehovah a sound ram from the flock, according to the[h] estimated value in silver shekels,34 by the shekel of the holy place,[i] as a guilt offering.
  16. And he will make compensation for the sin he has committed against the holy place and he will add to it a fifth35 of it, and he must give it to the priest, that the priest may make an atonement36 for him with the ram of the guilt offering, and so it must be forgiven37 him.
  17. ¶ “And if a soul sins in that he does do one of all the things that Jehovah commands should not be done, although he did not know it,38 yet he has become guilty and must answer for his error.39
  18. And he must bring a sound ram from the flock according to the estimated value, for a guilt offering,40 to the priest; and the priest must make an atonement41 for him for his mistake that he committed unintentionally, although he himself did not know it, and so it must be forgiven him.42
  19. It is a guilt offering. He has positively become guilty43 against Jehovah.”

    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!
