Deut 13:1 said:
What does this mean to you? Genesis 11:7
According to Joseph Smith this chapter and verse is wrong. Chapter 11: 7 will not match up with the original text, and the translation is also incorrect.
According to Joseph Smith, KJV of Genesis 11: 7 is really part of Genesis 11: 5, the second half of that verse. It reads much differently. The King James version is messed up on this one. A lot of Genesis is missing and the chapter and verses are wrong compared to the KJV. This is a valid point and could make the KJV seem messed up. I agree that Genesis is messed up the worst. But the rest of the Bible seems to be pretty much intact.
I will quote KJV Genesis 11: 5-8 next to JST Genesis 11: 4-5 (which is a true and correct translation along with the correct chapter and verse)
JST Genesis 11: 4
4- And the Lord came down, beholding the city and the tower, which the children of men were building.
The corresponding verse in KJV Genesis 11: 5 (notice the verse is different)
5- And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
It goes on.
JST Genesis 11: 5
5- And the Lord said, Behold the people are the same, and they all have the same language; and the tower they began to buld, and now, nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined, except I, the Lord, confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. So I, the Lord, will scatter them abroad from thence, upon all the face of the land, and unto every quarter of the earth.
The corresponding verse in KJV Genesis 11: 6-8
6- And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language, and this they began to do; and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
7= Go to, let us go down and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
8- So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth.
The verses are all messed up in Genesis and will not correspond with the original Hebrew text. This is what Joseph Smith discovered when he was inspired to record it correctly. The verses are correct only in the Joseph Smith's "Inspired Version" of the Bible, in Genesis. SOME of the verses match up to the KJV, but NOT COMPLETELY until Genesis 25, this is when the KJV's verses match up again and should match the Hebrew text, or the original writings of Genesis in their original language.
