Oh, I see! Fifty-four of the best scholars in the world working for 7 years got it wrong because more contemporary Christians (like you) don't like the word "cut"?! Now we are to believe that they were building a lumber yard or ready-to-move houses!!! Instead of being tortured and murdered as happened to every tribe the Israelites attacked, we now find the vanquished cutting down trees and making kitchen cabinets!! Instead of finding them run through with the sword and raped and tortured (including women and children) to the "very last breath", we now are to pretend that in this instance of being tortured and cut with axes and saws and being burned in brick kilns, that the vanquished were simply put to work building sun decks or beautiful hardwood floors!

You are an IDIOT!

And why are you so sensitive? You act as though this torture and murder was a strange event rather than one attested to on nearly every page!!

And BTW...the NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE is very contemporary and is widely praised for adherence to the literal truth of god's words as given in the original language! Let us have a listen!!!

"He brought out the people who were in it, and cut them with saws and with sharp instruments and with axes. And thus David did to all the cities of the sons of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem."

Now you will want only the contemporary bibles which have changed the words to YOUR liking!! Dumb Ass!!

Hey! I know! Why don't we take out the whole book of Joshua!!!
