Actually it should be chap 32:37-------------not 35:37---it's not backwards.

[maladee]

I was wondering if the GB wants us to point out any "oops" we find, or just let love cover it over. A mistake now and then doesn't bother me; it just reminds me that none of us are perfect yet. That being said, do they want to correct them in future printings? Or is that just way too much trouble in these last minutes we are living in?

If you double .. Triple check .. And ask a few others then...Send them a note.. Not a problem...

[maladee]

it is no big deal .it happens does not change the bibles meaning ,just keep this one it will be worth big money  joking nobody get offended

[JudyO]

WE mentioned this to one of our elders tonight, and he gave us the phone number to Bethel to report it immediately. Does anyone want this? After all, we didn't actually find the "oops"

A couple of my daughter noticed some "bad registration" in the printing. This is not really an "oops" as much as some "normal" adjustments needed while the printing is being done. But, at the speed that press runs while printing the Bible signatures, it is a wonder that the registration is not off more than the little they noticed.

 

BTW - the ones who noticed this - one is a machine operator and the other is a pressman at a local newspaper - that's why they notice this sort of thing.

At least it is not like this translation ..lol

[Áine]

Yes its the same in mine, I quite like it though. ..a bit like a first edition

[JudyO]

I think it gives my little gray Bible a quirky personality......kind of like ME! lol

They do want to make corrections. That's why many of our recent publications have "2009 printing" or even very recently "December 2012 Printing" in our Jehovah's Will brochure and "August 2013 Printing" in our Revised Bible. Now they can make adjustments throughout the year as necessary.

The PDF edition is the same.

The green 1961 "Fat" edition also had a similar typo.  The chapter number of Psalms 17 reads 71.

WHY IN THE WORLD wouldn't they want us to look for errors? Don't you think they proofread it (which is the same) before publishing it?

Why are some people soooo delicate about criticism? Specially when it is constructive. If you notice a CLEAR AND OBVIOUS mistake commuted by somebody, wouldn't you say something to FIX IT? C'mon ppl!!! Be a bit more open minded.

I had an opportunity to speak with G.B.M.  A. Morris this A.M. at our S.A.D.  After voicing my appreciation for the new Bible, I ask him if many type-o's had been reported yet. He said, "there are no type-o's, have you seen any?"  I showed him Numbers 33 and he said, "I'll have to write that down." I quickly mentioned that it had already been reported to the branch. He was genuinely surprised to find an oops in the Bible.

Some people are gifted proof-readers. Me? Before I send out anything, I need to check it at least three times. And then....My husband who is not computer savvy at all just catches them. Sort of drives me crazy.

Our GB? I cannot see them be anything but grateful for any information that will help down the road. Proves we are reading it, after all!

Our COBE has one with a cover that is bound upside down.

[My4CatsAndMe]

My friend's cousin emailed her about this... on page 267, the running header should say "Numbers 32:37-33:22". Instead it says "35:37-33:22."

 

 

 

OOPSIE!!!

Maybe all these "oooops" posts could be consolidated into one thread

[My4CatsAndMe]

Oh, sorry for double posting. I did a search for typo and Numbers and didn't see anything about it.

[My4CatsAndMe]

A moderator can just delete this thread. Sorry folks, I don't read the forum every day.

I can remember that in the first NWT in dutch (1969, I was 10 years old) we got in the Netherland there was a type-error, one line in Genesis was printed double and a line was missing, we got the missing line in, I think the OM, and cut and paste (litterly) ist in our Bible.

You see human error is always around the corner
