NASB Copyright 1995 by The Lockman Foundation

E-Prime consists of a paraphrase in which we have endeavored to replace all “to be” verbs (is,

are, were, was, etc.) with concrete active verbs, eliminating the “is of identity” (instead of “John

is a teacher,” we use “John teaches.” ), the “is of predication” (instead of “The apple is sweet,”

we use “The apple tastes sweet.”), as well as the passive voice and phantom subjects (instead of

“Blessed is the man,” we use “God blesses the man.”). By performing these linguistic

procedures, we have hoped to create a crisp, direct, and sparkling document.

Pronunciation Guide and Flashpoints for English Speakers

The International Phonetic Alphabet was launched in 1888 in England by Henry Sweet andElmer Wiggins, founders of the International Phonetic Association. The International Phonetic

Alphabet is an alphabetic system of notation based primarily on the Latin alphabet with borrowings if the Latin alphabet does not contain the sound. The beauty of the IPA is that it is100% phonetic, while the English alphabet (though derived from the Latin alphabet) is only 60%

phonetic, making pronunciation chancy. The best transliteration schemes are also hit and miss.

Using the pronunciation, one symbol represents one sound. The consonants are the most stable

elements of the language, but the violent vowels and the diabolical diphthongs will cause troublecontinually. Consequently, here are the potential flashpoints that may up-end English speakers as

they try to negotiate the pronunciation of the Interlinear Greek and Hebrew texts.

1 Now on the day that Moses had finished setting up the tabernacle, he anointed it andconsecrated it with all its furnishings and the altar and all its utensils; he anointed them

2Then the leaders of Israel, the heads of their fathers' households, made an offering (they

constituted the leaders of the tribes; they presided over the numbered men).

1Thus the LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second

5They observed the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at twilight,

30"But if the LORD brings about an entirely new thing and the ground opens its mouth and

38"As for the censers of these men who have sinned at the cost of their lives, let them become

46Moses said to Aaron, "Take your censer and put in it fire from the altar, and lay incense onit; then bring it quickly to the congregation and make atonement for them, for wrath has

Then Aaron took it as Moses had spoken, and ran into the midst of the assembly, for behold,the plague had begun among the people. So he put on the incense and made atonement

6Moses therefore spoke to the sons of Israel, and all their leaders gave him a rod apiece, foreach leader according to their fathers' households, twelve rods, with the rod of Aaron

8 Now on the next day Moses went into the tent of the testimony; and behold, the rod of Aaron

ripe almonds.

Balak Sends for Balaam

1Then the sons of Israel journeyed, and camped in the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan

opposite Jericho.

2 Now Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.

3So Moab felt great fear because of the people, for they had become numerous; and Moab felt

dread of the sons of Israel.

4Moab said to the elders of Midian, "Now this horde will lick up all that exist around us, as

the ox licks up the grass of the field." And Balak the son of Zippor ruled as king of Moabat that time.

5So he sent messengers to Balaam the son of Beor, at Pethor, which locates near the River, in

the land of the sons of his people, to call him, saying, "Behold, a people came out of

Egypt; behold, they cover the surface of the land, and they live opposite me.

7So the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the fees for divination in their

hand; and they came to Balaam and repeated Balak's words to him.

8He said to them, "Spend the night here, and I will bring word back to you as the LORD may

13So Balaam arose in the morning and said to Balak's leaders, "Go back to your land, for the

LORD has refused to let me go with you."

18Balaam replied to the servants of Balak, "Though Balak would give me his house full of

silver and gold, I could not do anything, either small or great, contrary to the command of

the LORD my God.
