  3. These were the sons[a] of Etam: Jezreel, Ishma, and Idbash; and the name of their sister was Hazzelelpo′ni,
  4. and Penu′el was the father of Gedor, and Ezer the father of Hushah. These were the sons of Hur, the first-born of Eph′rathah, the father of Bethlehem.
  5. Ashhur, the father of Teko′a, had two wives, Helah and Na′arah;

  7. The sons of Helah: Zereth, Izhar, and Ethnan.
  8. Koz was the father of Anub, Zobe′bah, and the families of Ahar′hel the son of Harum.
  9. Jabez was more honorable than his brothers; and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, “Because I bore him in pain.”
  10. Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, “Oh that thou wouldst bless me and enlarge my border, and that thy hand might be with me, and that thou wouldst keep me from harm so that it might not hurt me!” And God granted what he asked.

  14. Meo′nothai was the father of Ophrah; and Serai′ah was the father of Jo′ab the father of Ge-har′ashim,[c] so-called because they were craftsmen.

  17. The sons of Ezrah: Jether, Mered, Epher, and Jalon. These are the sons of Bith′i-ah, the daughter of Pharaoh, whom Mered married;[d] and she conceived and bore[e] Miriam, Sham′mai, and Ishbah, the father of Eshtemo′a.
  18. And his Jewish wife bore Jered the father of Gedor, Heber the father of Soco, and Jeku′thiel the father of Zano′ah.

  22. and Jokim, and the men of Coze′ba, and Jo′ash, and Saraph, who ruled in Moab and returned to Lehem[f] (now the records[g] are ancient).
  23. These were the potters and inhabitants of Neta′im and Gede′rah; they dwelt there with the king for his work.
  24. ¶ The sons of Simeon: Nem′uel, Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, Shaul;
  25. Shallum was his son, Mibsam his son, Mishma his son.
  26. The sons of Mishma: Ham′mu-el his son, Zac′cur his son, Shim′e-i his son.
  27. Shim′e-i had sixteen sons and six daughters; but his brothers had not many children, nor did all their family multiply like the men of Judah.

  29. Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad,
  30. Bethu′el, Hormah, Ziklag,
  31. Beth-mar′caboth, Ha′zar-su′sim, Beth-biri, and Sha-ara′im. These were their cities until David reigned.
  32. And their villages were Etam, A′in, Rimmon, Tochen, and Ashan, five cities,
  33. along with all their villages which were round about these cities as far as Ba′al. These were their settlements, and they kept a genealogical record.
  34. ¶ Mesho′bab, Jamlech, Joshah the son of Amazi′ah,

  37. Ziza the son of Shiphi, son of Allon, son of Jedai′ah, son of Shimri, son of Shemai′ah—
  38. these mentioned by name were princes in their families, and their fathers’ houses increased greatly.
  39. They journeyed to the entrance of Gedor, to the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks,
  40. where they found rich, good pasture, and the land was very broad, quiet, and peaceful; for the former inhabitants there belonged to Ham.
  41. These, registered by name, came in the days of Hezeki′ah, king of Judah, and destroyed their tents and the Me-u′nim who were found there, and exterminated them to this day, and settled in their place, because there was pasture there for their flocks.
  42. And some of them, five hundred men of the Simeonites, went to Mount Se′ir, having as their leaders Pelati′ah, Ne-ari′ah, Repha′iah, and Uz′ziel, the sons of Ishi;
  43. and they destroyed the remnant of the Amal′ekites that had escaped, and they have dwelt there to this day.

    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!
