To those with 'other' bibles... help me out! (page 2)

Thanks everyone! The help is MUCH appreciated. I've been using these scriptures to prove that birthday celebrations are okay. :)

The New Living Translation translates this way:

Job 1:4 Every year when Job's sons had birthdays, they invited their brothers and sisters to join them for a celebration. On these occasions they would get together to eat and drink.
Job 1:5 When these celebrations ended-and sometimes they lasted several days-Job would purify his children. He would get up early in the morning and offer a burnt offering for each of them. For Job said to himself, "Perhaps my children have sinned and have cursed God in their hearts." This was Job's regular practice.

So, ha! You can tell everyone Job's kids celebrated their birthdays. :) New light?? :)

The reason I was looking at both scriptures is that in the NWT, they both say "his own day" and the "his own day" in chapter 3 verse 4 is most certainly talking about the day of his birth. So, that's what it means to ME. :) :)

To those with 'other' bibles... help me out!
