Chapter 26 of Numbers—New World Translation (NWT)

  1. ¶ And it came about after the scourge,[a]1 that Jehovah went on to say this to Moses and El·e·aʹzar the son of Aaron the priest:
  2. “TAKE the sum of the whole assembly of the sons of Israel from twenty years of age and upward, according to the house of their fathers, all those going out to the army in Israel.”2
  3. And Moses and El·e·aʹzar3 the priest proceeded to speak with them in the desert plains of Moʹab4 by the Jordan at Jerʹi·cho,5 saying:
  4. “[Take the sum of them] from the age of twenty years and upward, just as Jehovah had commanded Moses.”6

  51. ¶ These were the registered ones of the sons of Israel: six hundred and one thousand seven hundred and thirty.87
  52. ¶ After that Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying:
  53. “To these the land should be apportioned for an inheritance by the number of the names.88
  54. According to the great number you should increase one’s inheritance, and according to the fewness you should reduce one’s inheritance.89 Each one’s inheritance should be given in proportion to his registered ones.
  55. Only by the lot90 should the land be apportioned. According to the names of the tribes of their fathers they should get an inheritance.
  56. By the determination of the lot one’s inheritance should be apportioned between the many and the few.”
  57. ¶ Now these were the registered ones of the Levites91 by their families: Of Gerʹshon92 the family of the Gerʹshon·ites; of Koʹhath93 the family of the Koʹhath·ites; of Me·rarʹi94 the family of the Me·rarʹites.

  60. Then there were born to Aaron Naʹdab and A·biʹhu,104 El·e·aʹzar and Ithʹa·mar.105
  61. But Naʹdab and A·biʹhu died for their presenting illegitimate fire before Jehovah.106
  62. ¶ And their registered ones amounted to twenty-three thousand, all males from a month old and upward.107 For they did not get registered in among the sons of Israel,108 because no inheritance was to be given to them in among the sons of Israel.109
  63. ¶ These were the ones registered by Moses and El·e·aʹzar the priest when they registered the sons of Israel in the desert plains of Moʹab by the Jordan at Jerʹi·cho.110
  64. But among these there did not prove to be a man of those registered by Moses and Aaron the priest when they registered the sons of Israel in the wilderness of Siʹnai.111
  65. For Jehovah had said concerning them: “They will die without fail in the wilderness.”112 So there was not left of them a man except Caʹleb the son of Je·phunʹneh and Joshua the son of Nun.113

    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!
