Word precision in Bible translation matters. Readers or interpreters looking to inject gender identity confusion into the Scriptures will use these confusing and unnecessary changes to support their position, maybe this is what the NASB translators intend. ![]() The second half of the verse increases the gender confusion as the groom is said to be a strong personnot a strong mandespite the wording that the strong person runs his course. In our ever-changing cultural norms, the word groom does not specifically identify the one marrying a bride as being male, nor does the word groom eliminate the possibility that two grooms getting married, in which case the personal male pronouns would support that conclusion. Historically, a groom was someone who groomed horses. By definition a bridegroom is a male who is about to, or has just, married a female bride. Which is like a groom coming out of his chamber It rejoices like a strong person to run his course.Īlthough the words bridegroom and groom are often used interchangeably today, precise wording is important here if the biblical meaning is to be responsibly conveyed. Compare Psalm Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber It rejoices as a strong man to run his course. And it is changed in a way that allows it to be interpreted as supporting mixed-gender marriage or de facto gender fluidity. In Psalmthe quest for gender neutrality subtly appears to be more important to the translators than the accuracy of the translation itself. Therefore you have no excuse, you foolish personeveryone of you who passes judgment, for in that which you judge someone else, you condemn yourself for you who judge practice the same things….īut do you suppose this, you foolish person who passes judgment on those who practice such things and yet does them as well, that you will escape the judgment of God? There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of mankind who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek….Ī third example is Micah He has told you, a humanwhat is good and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? The verse emphasizes God as the divine and holy Creator over against the created and fallen Adam and his descendants, particularly Israel. The bold is the new, the bracketed is the wording, other changes for these two verses are included too. This is an awkward injection into verse 1, as no gender wording previously existed there. Shoutcast v2Ī couple are helpful, most are unnecessary. The second example is in Romans Overall the passage has some minor changes. NASB However, I understand our times and the challenge that translators face. Detractors of this practice see it as an effort to force a gender-neutral inclusiveness upon the Scriptures where non-exists. I find this practice gives God more respect, and it helps the reader to more easily understand the verses. Instead of not capitalizing any, I would prefer that these pronouns not be capitalized when there is doubt, but capitalized when the reference clearly is to God. The reason often cited for not capitalizing the personal pronouns pertaining to God is that some references are ambiguous. ![]() I was pleased to learn that the NASB will continue to capitalize pronouns and names pertaining to God, few translations still do. The order of the following passages is generally the order in which they were released by Lockman. Today I add Psalm 19 and place its changes under the Gender category. The NASB has updated many passages, included here are examples of the types of changes they are making, so the reader can get an idea of what to expect. They also say that the edition will continue to be sold after the NASB edition is released. ![]()
