Bible Question:
Does anyone know why there is such a discrepancy between NASB (and most others) compared with the verse as laid out in the ESV? ESV: "And he said, "Thus says the LORD, 'I will make this dry streambed full of pools.'" NASB: "Thus says the LORD, 'Make this valley full of trenches.'" Your assistance is greatly appreciated! |
Bible Answer: Hi Psionspace: As far as I am concerned, the answer to your question is. Some of these other translations, arent translations at all, but interpretations, with a little bit of commentary thrown in. The following are the same verses, out of the KJV. I have also taken the liberty, to add another 2 verses, from the next Chapt. they were in the center referance for the purpose of clarification, and similarity of events. 2 kings 3: 16,17 16. And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Make this valley full of ditches. 17. For thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts. 2 kings 4: 3, 4 3. Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few. 4. And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full. The similarity is in the fact, that God performed a mirical, as would also be done with the fishes, and loves. I hope this helps you. I know your question was about why this kind of thing happens, I just wanted you to see that there are better translations than the ESV and why. |
