Page 77 - Yahwehs Book

Consider now, how the following Bible translations have rendered this passage from the book of
Joshua.

Joshua 3:3-4
When you see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the priests, who are Levites,
carrying it, you are to move out from your positions and follow it. Then you will know which way
to go, since you have never been this way before. But keep a distance of about a thousand yards
between you and the ark; do not go near it."
[New International Version]

Joshua 3:3-4
"When you see the Levitical priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord your God, move
out from your positions and follow them. Since you have never traveled this way before, they will
guide you. Stay about a half mile behind them, keeping a clear distance between you and the Ark.
Make sure you don't come any closer."
[New Living Translation]

Joshua 3:3-4
"When you see the Covenant-Chest of God, your God, carried by the Levitical priests, start moving.
Follow it. Make sure you keep a proper distance between you and it, about half a mile — be sure
now to keep your distance! — and you'll see clearly the route to take. You've never been on this road
before."
[THE MESSAGE Bible]

Each of these versions cited are examples of a new breed of Bibles that are known as “dynamic
equivalent translations.” The word “dynamic” signifies that which is living, and changing. The
opposite of the word dynamic is static, which indicates that something is fixed and unchanging.
There are many proponents of the dynamic equivalent model of Bible translation. Their main goal
is to make the Bible “relevant” and “understandable” to the masses. Being ignorant of the depth of
information Yahweh has encoded in every word of Scripture, these translators are effectually
covering up, obscuring, and bringing wholesale alteration, to the spiritual mysteries Yahweh has
hidden in His word.

Proverbs 25:2
It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter.

The Bible contains tens of thousands of these types of symbolic details. A man could spend his entire
life mining for hidden truth, seeking to unveil the mysteries of Yahweh’s word, and only skim the
surface of all that lies therein.

Romans 11:33
Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His
judgments and unfathomable His ways!

Dynamic equivalent translations, although easier to read and understand, do not contain all the
