This day in history: Steven T. Byington died on this day in 1957. Byington was a Christian Anarchist and a Bible translator. The Watchtower society bought the rights to his Bible in 1972. The book "So Many Versions" remarks on the association below:
"While this translation is completely independent from the NWT, we made a comparison of the two. Since it is published by the Jehovah's Witnesses, we were especially interested in those passages where the characteristic biases of the NWT [New World Translation] were evident. In the BLE [Bible in Living English], "Jehovah" is used in the OT but is not found in the NT. The word "God" is capitalized when referring to Jesus Christ, e.g., in John 1:1; 1:18; 6:45; 10:33. Where the NWT added the article "the" in brackets in Titus 2:13 and 2 Peter 1:1 and "other" in Colossians 1:16, 17, this translation does not, so that Jesus Christ can be identified with God in these passages. Furthermore, by its punctuation in Romans 9:5 it has clearly identified Christ as God: "Whose are the fathers, and from whom in the way of flesh comes the Christ, he who is over everything, God blessed forever-Amen!" The designation "Holy Spirit" is capitalized, contrary to the NWT, and the words "cross" and "crucify" are used instead of "torture stake" and "impale." The only apparent reason for the Witnesses' publishing this translation is the translator's use of "Jehovah" for God's name in the OT, unless they also want to tone down the idiosyncrasies of their own translation." So Many Versions by Sakae Kubo and Walter F. Specht
Reply: Much of the above is over-stated. I fail to see where Christ is identified as God at Romans 9:5, and a clear understanding of the other Scriptures listed and its context removes any divinity from Christ, specifically at John 1:18: "Nobody ever has seen God; an Only Born God, he who is in the Father's bosom, he gave the account of him." A God that is "born" is definitely held as separate from that God that cannot be seen.
Consider also other Scriptures that waters down the deity of Christ:
"I will be what I will be" Ex 3:14
"God is your throne forever" Psalm 45:6
"Jehovah framed me first in line" Prov 8:22
"his origin being from of old, from ancient days." Micah 5:2
"they will look at the one they stabbed to death" Zech 12:10
Acts 20:28 footnote points to "the Lord's church"
"let all God's angels do him reverence" Heb 1:6
"God is your throne forever and ever." Heb 1:8
"firstborn of all creation" Col 1:15
"did not regard equality with God a prize" Php 2:6
"the beginning of God's creation" Rev 3:14
Byington had high sights set for his Bible in his Translator's Preface:
"It is customary for the preface of a new translation of the Bible to say that this translation is to be used only for certain limited purposes, and for most purposes the old version, or a conservative revision of it, should still be preferred. I say the contrary: I sincerely recommend that my translation be used in preference to the old for all purposes, under all circumstances where mine is available. I do not say, observe, that mine is better than any other that can or will be made; neither do I say that it is probable that mine will become everybody's Bible. What I have more right to expect, and what I am bound to be content with, is that when a Bible is made which shall be everybody's Bible, my work will have contributed part of the material which will go into it; what I am here recommending is that when a choice is to be made between mine and the old version, and a version better than either is not available, mine be chosen rather than the old."
From: Twenty Speeches and Discourses on Various Subjects By Daniel Chapman 1855
"The idea of interminable or eternal existence is the radical idea of the term Jehovah, the mysterious, incommunicable name of God in the Hebrew language. The form in which it occurs in the Hebrew, is an admirable instance of the perfect simplicity, significancy, and comprehensiveness of that ancient language. It is indeed the predominance of these qualities -the simplicity of its elements, and the complexity of their combinations, which constitutes at once the easiness and the difficulty of its acquisition. It is evident from the transcendent excellence of what remains, that there is no language, ancient or modern, better adapted than the Hebrew was in its perfect state, to convey a complete revelation from God to man: an impartial comparison will justify this remark. This term, considered as a form of the Hebrew verb which signifies to be, to exist, is one that embodies the forms of both tenses, the past and the future, inclusive of the present, a threefold division of time, which, when each of its portions is expanded to infinity, and all those portions are combined with each other, affords, perhaps, as perfect an idea of absolute eternity as we can form,-infinite past, infinite future, infinite present, all blended in one infinite duration, the measure of His existence alone who eternally was, and is, and is to be. The term Jehovah is the most philosophical, as well as the most beautiful name of God that any language can employ."
A Portion of the Bay Psalm Book with the Divine Name Iehovah
This day in history: A Bay Psalm Book was auctioned off on this day in 1947 for $151,000.00.
"THE first piece of literature known to have been written and published in England’s American colonies was the Bay Psalm Book. Its original edition was printed by Stephen Daye in the Massachusetts Bay Colony during the year 1640. That early publication contained the Bible book of Psalms, translated from Hebrew into the English language as spoken and written at that time." Source
It is interesting to note that this, the first ever book published in British North America contained the Divine Name Iehovah quite a few times, as is evidenced in the image above.
This Day In History: Print editions of the New American Standard Bible 2020 edition were released on this day in 2020. The NASB is a revision of the American Standard Version (ASV), though the Revised Standard Version (RSV) was also a revision of the ASV. The NASB is often praised in certain circles as the most literal and accurate Bible there is, yet it is largely ignored by Bible scholars.
There is no reference to it in the BAGD and BDAG Lexicons, Aland's _Text of the New Testament_ or my edition of the UBS Greek text and it's companion piece, the Textual Commentary of the Greek NT. It is not mentioned in Eerdman's Dictionary of the Bible under "Bible Translations" and the same goes for Oxford's Companion to the Bible. F.F. Bruce does not reference it in his Commentary. James Dunn does not use it, Hurtado doesn't either. Metzger gives it a brief mention in his book _The Bible in Translation_ and even makes use of Laurence Vance's _Double Jeopardy_ in the review. This is an interesting move since Vance states in his Epilogue that "it would be double jeopardy to accept the NASBU [New American Standard Bible Update] as the word of God."
Metzger's _Recent Translations: A Survey and Exploration_ in the 1992 Southwestern Journal of Theology [34.2: 5-12] completely ignores the NASB. James Barr in his _Modern English Bibles as a Problem for the Church_ [Quarterly Review/Fall 1994] stated that "Bibles are being written in English which have as one of their aims the pleasing of the sort of Bible readers who will buy them and like them, and it is especially on the side of the more evangelical readership that this is at present happening."
Yet none of the above scholars have no problem using the RSV (or NRSV), or the New English Bible, which are contemporary to the NASB.
Barclay N. Newman Jr. wrote in _The Word of God: A Guide to English Versions of the Bible_, "the translators of the NASB have dreamed the impossible dream, only to create a nightmare...if a choice must be made between ASV and NASB, it cannot be doubted that old wine is better. The initial marginal note of NASB is prophetic: 'a waste and an emptiness.'"
One of the Fourfold aims of the NASB was that "They shall give the Lord Jesus Christ His proper place, the place which the Word gives Him; therefore, no work will ever be personalized." However, when at one time the translators claimed anonymity, you can know view the list of translators at Lockman's own website.
One interesting change in the 2020 edition of the NASB is at John 1:18.
The 1995 edition had "No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him."
The NASB 2020 now has "No one has seen God at any time; God the only Son, who is in the arms of the Father, He has explained Him."
The oldest Greek texts have monogenes theos (an only-begotten god) and many others have monogenes huios (an only-begotten son). However, there is not one manuscript and Greek text that has both the words "God" (theos) and "Son" (huios) at this one verse. The only reason the two are combined is for theological purposes, and nothing else. John's gospel also has two different readings at John 21:15 where some manuscripts and versions have "Simon, son of Jonah" or "Simon, son of John." However, no one thinks to combine the two to read "Simon, son of John, who is Jonah."
One of the biggest departures away from the ASV Bible was the translation of the Divine Name. The original American Standard Version translated YHWH (JHVH) as Jehovah, a pronunciation consistent with other theophoric names. The NASB translators refused to do this and replaced the name with a title (LORD, GOD). There is something unsettling about a translator who sees a name in the source text, and completely ignores this and replaces it 7000 times, and then claims it is an "incredibly accurate translation from the original languages."
This day in history: The entire New English Bible was published on this day in 1970. The NEB is unique in that it was the first Protestant translation of the Bible made by a committee that abandoned the Tyndale/King James tradition. It was truly an ENGLISH Bible, as it was sponsored by the:
Baptist Union of Great Britain and Ireland
British and Foreign Bible Society
Church of England
Church of Scotland
Congregational Church in England and Wales
Council of Churches for Wales
Irish Council of Churches
London Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends
Methodist Church of Great Britain
National Bible Society of Scotland
Presbyterian Church of England
It was also very British in its use of "Whitsuntide" instead of "Pentecost" at 1 Corinthians 16:8. Luke 12:6 has "Are not sparrows five for twopence?" and Mark 12:42 uses the word "farthing." Mark 6:37 has "Are we to go and spend twenty pounds on bread and give them a meal?"
The New English Bible has retained the old English (thee, thou) only when God is addressed, for its respectful tone, but the NEB has also been criticized for its irreverence. For instance, it starts Genesis 11:1 with "Once upon a time..." This was changed in its successor The Revised English Bible. The NEB has also been criticized for "watering down the Deity of Christ", but then, as Bible scholar Rudolf Bultmann stated: "In describing Christ as _God_ the New Testament still exercises great restraint."
The translators of the New English Bible, much like those of the Good News Bible, chose to render their translation using a principle of translation called dynamic equivalence (also referred to as functional equivalence or thought-for-thought translation). C. H. Dodd, Vice-Chairman and Director of the Joint Committee, commented that the translators "...conceived our task to be that of understanding the original as precisely as we could... and then saying again in our own native idiom what we believed the author to be saying in his." Dodd goes on to summarize the translation of the New English Bible as "...free, it may be, rather than literal, but a faithful translation nevertheless, so far as we could compass it." As a result, the New English Bible is more of a paraphrase at times in order to render what they thought the original author was saying.
The New English Bible does make for great reading however: "I call him a pompous ignoramus. He is morbidly keen on mere verbal questions and quibbles...all typical of men who have let their reasoning powers become atrophied." 1 Timothy 6:4. "It is an intractable evil, charged with deadly venom." James 3:9.
Still, I can't help thinking that the translators had a little fun. For instance, Joshua 15.18 reads “As she sat on the ass, she broke wind, and Caleb asked her, 'What did you mean by that?'”
Job 18:11 has "The terrors of death suddenly beset him and make him piss over his feet."
Ezekiel 21:7 has "all men's knees run with urine"
Also:
"Have nothing to do with loose livers" 1 Corinthians 5:9
"Am I a babboon..." 2 Samuel 3:8
"buffaloes/bison" Isaiah 34:7
"the griffon-vulture" Deut 14:12
"guardian angels" Matthew 18:10
"mother earth" Ecclesiastes 5:15
"porpoise hides" Exodus 35:23
"dragon" Psalms 68:22
"goddesses of the field" Song of Solomon 2:7
In Proverbs 18:10 there is a quote from Shakespeare's "Richard III, 5, iii, 12.
Hebrews 12:8 has "you must be bastards"
The Matthew 16:18 reading of "You are Peter, the Rock" has a very Catholic feel to it, as does the inclusion of the Apocrypha.
The Divine Name Jehovah is used 6 times in the book of Exodus (Ex.3:15,16; Ex.6:3; Ex.33:19; Ex.34:5,6).
The NEB is however a very readable Bible and is a complement to any present Bible version on your bookshelf, though it should not be used as a primary Bible (though I could say the same thing about the New International Version, which is a poorer Bible version). It did not catch on with the public in a lasting way, though it was successful enough to garner a revision.
One amazon reviewer noted on the Oxford Study Edition of the NEB: "Beautifully constructed language based on the earliest possible sources result in a loving and living Bible. The impressive group who did this monumental work intentionally ignored later and better known translations in order to get to the heart of the text and to use words that more closely communicate the intent and actual usage of the day. The contemporary language is not slangy or dumbed-down, either. This translation assumes you have a decent vocabulary and grasp of English, a FAR cry from the NIV, which is easy to read but does not have the rich evocative qualities that the NEB has.
Add all the Study notes, maps, etc, and this is a truly valuable and provocative Bible with many interesting historical references about the politics, commerce and customs of the day, richly added to every page as footnotes. Cross-references to other passages for clarity or reinforcement, alternative translations for some words or descriptions of items also add to the broad scope of appreciation one can get reading this lovely translation... even if you aren't Christian.
If you want to experience how beautifully the Bible can be conveyed in modern, real language, this is the Bible for you, and the study notes only make it all the more enriching."

"Many may argue that some, like the Jews, stopped saying the Divine Name in order that they may not break the commandment, "Thou shalt not take the name of Jehovah thy God in vain." (Ex 20:7). Yet, I do not see the same kind of zeal to remove the sex organs for fear of breaking the commandment at v. 14, "Thou shalt not commit adultery." This is the height of piety and arrogance, and nothing else."

A Dissertation Concerning the Antiquity of the Hebrew Language by John Gill
Eighteenth-century theologian John Gill in his writing, A Dissertation Concerning the Antiquity of the Hebrew Language, Letters, Vowel-Points and Accents,disputed the idea that the vowel points were invented by the Masorites. Gill claimed that the use of Hebrew vowel points and therefore of the name Jehovah (Ye-HO-VaH in Hebrew) is documented from before 200 BC, and even back to Adam, throughout the centuries of Jewish Authorities, the early Church and the following millennium. He argued that throughout this history the Masorites did not invent the vowel points and accents, but that they were delivered to Moses by God at Sinai

National Religions and Universal Religions: Lectures Delivered at Oxford
by Abraham Kuenen 1882
"The Pronunciation of the Divine Name "Yahweh." By declaring, as soon as I had occasion to use it, that we have good grounds for pronouncing the name of the god of Israel "Yahweh," I implied that the objections which have been urged against this pronunciation—most recently by Friedrich Delitzsch (Wo Iag das Paradiesl Eine biblisch-assyriologische Studie, S. 158—166) and von Hartmann (Das relig. Bewusstsein u. s. w. S. 370 f.)—have not convinced me. I must now briefly explain the reason of this. On the derivation and significance of the name I will not now touch, but will confine myself exclusively to the anterior question of how it was pronounced." - Page 308
How the Bible Grew: The Story as Told by the Book and Its Keepers
by Frank Grant Lewis 1919
"Where this divine name occurrs in the Hebrew, Israelitish readers pronounce the word for master, lord. This Hebrew word is ordinarily transliterated adonai. Israelites still say "Adonai" when in reading they come to the divine name. Christians, however, as early as the fourteenth or the fifteenth century began to combine the two words, pronouncing the consonants Jhvh with modifications of the vowels of adonai. We should expect perhaps as an outcome such a word as Jahovaih, but it did not come into use. Instead, one of the earliest results of the combination of the two words was the form Johouah. Later the form Jehovah was adopted. This is now known not only to be a hybrid term but also to have no good linguistic basis for its vowels. Careful investigations have been made concerning the original pronunciation of the divine name itself, that
is, investigations to discover the vowel sounds which were originally a part of the name. These investigations offer different possibilities, such as Jahveh, Jahvah, or even Yahu." - Page 84

"It has been contended that the name Yahweh as an element in a proper name occurs in Babylonia still earlier. In a text published by Thureau-Dangin, a granddaughter of the king Naram-Sin bears a name which may be read Lipush-Iaum, 'May Iaum make.' Radau, Burney, and Clay all regard this as an occurrence of Yahweh. Rogers with more caution holds that it is doubtful, and that possibly Ea is referred to. It would certainly be rash to assert that this name is proof that Yahweh as a divine name was known among the immediate descendants of Naram-Sin, but it is clearly possible that such may be the case.
Bible and Spade: Lectures Delivered Before Lake Forest College
by John Punnett Peters - Bible - 1922
"I was struck with the fact that the divine name Yah commences to become prominent in David's time. After he set up the Ark in Jerusalem, the divine name Yah becomes the dominating name in Judah, and especially in the royal family. On the other hand, it does not come to the fore among the ten tribes until two hundred years later, in the time of the great prophet Elijah, whose name means "Yah time the Pharaoh raided and plundered Palestine." p. 99

Princeton Theological Review by Princeton Theological Seminary 1914 (partial copy)
"The Septuagint with one exception (18:1) attests the word Jehovah at the beginning of these paragraphs, as the first divine name in the seder, however much the Septuagint may differ from the Massoretic text in respect to the divine name elsewhere in the paragraph. Dahse's theory, it will be noted, accords with these facts regarding the initial divine name, and also accounts for the difference between the Massoretic text and the Septuagint in 18:1. And the general agreement of the two texts in regard to the divine name used, where a particular rule seems to have been followed by the author or early editor of the narratives, is an additional attestation of the fidelity of the Greek translators to their Hebrew text, and affords valuable testimony to the readings of the early Hebrew text."
Hours with the Bible: Or, The Scriptures in the Light of Modern Discovery

"Among the Egyptians there was a god whose name it was unlawful to utter; and it was forbidden to name or to speak of the supreme guardian divinity of Rome.' Even to mention a god's name in taking an oath was deemed irreverent. In the Book of Henoch 7 a secret magic power is ascribed to the Divine Name, and "it upholds all things which are." Men learned it through the craft of the evil angel, Kesbeel, who, in heaven, before he was cast out, gained it by craft from Michael, its original guardian." Page 839

The great Dionysiak myth by Robert Brown 1877
"Clemens Alexandrinus says, 'the mystic name of four letters, 'the sacred Tetragrammaton YaHVeH, 'which was affixed to those alone to whom the adytum was accessible, is called Iaou, which is interpreted, "Who is and shall be." Mr. King observes, 'Theodoret states that the four letters of the Holy Name were pronounced by the Samaritans IABE; by the Jews, IAO Jerome (Ps. viii.), "The name of the Lord amongst the Hebrews is of four letters, Jod, He, Vau, He ; which is properly the name of God, and may be read as I A H O, and is held by the Jews for ineffable." ' 2Bunsen, very
reasonably, considers it questionable whether the real etymology of the word is Hebrew, but remarks, 'The sublime idea, "I am that I am," i.e. the Eternal, is certainly the right one in a Hebrew point of view.'"
Medical Symbolism in Connection with Historical Studies in the Arts by Thomas S. Sozinskey 1891
"Tetragrammaton — that is, J H V H, or, as it is commonly rendered, Jehovah — was the same thing as the IAW. Much could be said about it, as those familiar with Masonic legends and occult literature are aware. Lenormant states, of the wide belief in the power of the hidden "name of the Lord," that "we now see clearly that it came from Chaldea." p. 133

"Latter-day Saints tell us further that the Indians were in the habit of using the sacred ejaculation, "Hallelujah," and Jenkins says: "In the Choctaw nation they often sing 'Halleluyah,' intermixed with their lamentations." — The Ten Tribes, p. 132. Elsewhere (p. 144) he informs us that both the Choctaw and Cherokee tribes use the word. The Creeks had a sacred chant, hi-yo-yu or hay-ay-al-gi* The Cherokees employed the sacred, but meaningless, chant, ha-wi-ye-e-hi, in their "Groundhog Dance;" he-e! hay-u-ya han-iwa, etc., was employed by their bear-hunters to attract the bear ; while ha-wi-ye-hy-u-we was a part of one of their baby songs. Hayuya falling on the ears of an Englishman might be mistaken for "hallelujah." Lastly, the words for "Jehovah" (Yohewah in the Cherokee, Che-ho-wa in the Choctaw, and Chihufa in the Creek) are not original words at all, and the same may be said for Shiloh, Canaan and other Old Testament names, but are simply the efforts of these tribes to pronounce our Scriptural terms."
View of the Hebrews: Exhibiting the Destruction of Jerusalem by Ethan Smith 1823
"These Indians have many wild pagan notions of this one God. But they have brought down by tradition, it seems, the above essentially correct view of him, in opposition to the polytheistical world. Their name of God is remarkable — Wahconda. It has been shown in the body of this work, that various of the Indians call God Yohewah, Ale, Yah, and Wah, doubtless from the Hebrew names Jehovah, Ale, and Jah, And it has been shown that these syllables which compose the mime of God,
sire compounded in many Indian words, or form the roots from which they are formed."

Indian Myths Or, Legends, Traditions, and Symbols of the Aborigines
by Ellen Russell Emerson 1884
"the form Jehovah, instead of Yahweh or Yahaveh, has been adopted; but it may be justly claimed that the two latter words are the more accurate. In these we trace a still more remarkable resemblance to the sacred name of Indian invocation. An instance is quoted by M. Remusut from one of the works of a Chinese philosopher of the sixth or seventh century before Christ, in which the name appears in Chinese scriptures. The reference is as follows...Here again reappears the name as J-hi-wai, which, with due regard to phonetic and vernacular changes, may be claimed as identical with that of the Indian's sacred name, Yo-he-wah. The universality of the use of the syllable yo, or jo, in a divine name may be illustrated by other examples. lio was the Coptic name of the moon ; Java, or Kara-Java, was a name said to be given the Supreme Being by a tribe in the jungles of Burmah.

A Discourse on the Religion of the Indian Tribes of North America: Delivered by Samuel Farmar Jarvis 1820 (only first 119 pages)
"Much stress has been laid upon the supposed use of the Hebrew words Jehovah and Halliluiah among the Indians. With regard to the invocation of God, by the name of Jehovah, the fact, in the first place, is not certain. Some travellers assert that the Indians, when assembled in council, and on other solemn occasions, express their approbation by ejaculating Ho, ho, ho, with a very guttural emission. In the minutes of a treaty, held at Lancaster, I think in 1742, on which occasion Conrad Weiser was interpreter, it is said that the chiefs expressed their approbation in the usual manner, by saying, "Yo-wah." p. 90
Light and Truth: Collected from the Bible and Ancient and Modern History by Robert Benjamin Lewis 1844
"In their sacred dances, these authors assure us the Indians sing "Halleluyah Yohewah;"—praise to Jah Jehovah. When they return victorious from their wars, they sing, Yo-he-wah; having been by tradition taught to ascribe the praise to God. The same authors assure us, the Indians make great use of the initials of the mysterious name of God, like the tetragrammation of the ancient Hebrews; or the four radical letters which form the name of Jehovah; as the Indians pronounce thus, Y-O-He-wah." p. 261
