I believe in the Bible as it came from the pen of the author as Joseph Smith did.

I believe the Bible as it read when it came from the pen of the original writers. Ignorant translators, careless transcribers, or designing and corrupt priests have committed many errors.

I generally don’t look at the source text of any translation, but I do when a translation goes against something that YHWH Elohim has already taught me. We need to be careful with any translation, because translators put their own theology into their translations. Below I will show from the scriptures the principles I saw contradictions with for Amos 3:2.

Amos 3:2 is an example where translators either ignorantly or purposely mistranslated it. Below is the KJV translation. The idea that YHWH only knew the Israelites is in all translations I know of, which you can look at the page Parallel of Amos 3:2 on BibleHub, where it lists 38 different translations. The 38 translations of Amos 3:2 at Parallel of Amos 3:2 on BibleHub is one example how new translations are simply modernizing old translations and not going back to the source texts. Reading through the scriptures it is obvious that YHWH knows of more than just the Israelites.

KJV Amos 3:2
A You only have I [YHWH] known of all the families of the earth:
B therefore I [YHWH] will punish you [Israel] for all your [Israel’s] iniquities.

In fact, Amos 3 makes it obvious that YHWH knows of more people than just the Israelites as YHWH mentions Egypt, Ashdod in Philistine, and Damacus in Syria.

KJV Amos 3:1,9,12
AA 1 Hear this word that the Lord [YHWH] hath spoken against you,
A-B O children of Israel,
A-B against the whole family
AA which I [YHWH] brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,
…
—D-BA 9 Publish in the palaces at Ashdod [Philistines],
—D-B-B and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say,
—D-B–C Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria,
—D-B-B and behold the great tumults in the midst thereof,
—D-BA and the oppressed in the midst thereof.
…
—DAAA 12 Thus saith the Lord [YHWH];
—DAAB As the shepherd taketh out of the mouth of the lion two legs,
—DAAC or a piece of an ear;
—DABA so shall the children of Israel be taken out
—DABB that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed,
—DABC and in Damascus [Syria] in a couch.

Not to mention that YHWH Elohim knows everything from the begining to the end.

AB and from ancient times the things that are not yet done,
BA saying, My [YHWH] counsel shall stand,
BB and I [YHWH] will do all My [YHWH] pleasure:

Knowing the begining to the end includes all the family of Adam which is the whole human family, including when they shall live.

KJV Acts 17:25
A 25 Neither is worshipped with men’s hands,
-B as though He [YHWH] needed any thing,
–C seeing He [YHWH] giveth to all life,
-B and breath [life & Torah],
A and all things [Torah];

KJV Acts 17:26
A 26 And hath made of one blood [Adam]
-B all nations of men

A and the bounds of their habitation;

KJV 1 Timothy 6:13
A 13 I give thee charge in the sight of God [Elohim],
-B who quickeneth [G2225: give life] [1828: make alive] all things,
-B and before Christ [Messiah] Jesus [Yeshua],
A who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;

KJV Deuteronomy 32:39

The New Translation that Joseph Smith was commanded by YHWH to do multiple times in the D&C, see the post The JST / Inspired Version and Only a Part for the list of these passages, to fix the KJV Bible translation. Although, Joseph Smith never corrected the whole Bible, enough was done that Joseph was commanded to print it see The JST / Inspired Version and Only a Part for D&C passages. JST Luke 1:34-35 is one of the corrections Joseph Smith made, and it has interesting implications. After Mary asked how can it be that I shall give birth to the Messiah, Gabriel, which is another name for the Mighty and Strong One which is talked about on my resource page Daniel, tells Mary because it is the part of the plan and because YHWH Elohim has power over when, where and by who people are born as scriptures teach. The other important implication is how Joseph Smith removed “seeing I [Mary] know not a man” bringing out how Joseph, Mary’s husband, is Yeshua’s / Jesus biological father as older manuscripts state see the book Yeshua, the Patrilineal Son of David, and for more on this at my resource page Almah.

JST Luke 1:34-35 [bolds and strikeouts are corrections from New Translation / JST / Inspired Version]
A 34 Then said Mary unto the angel [Gabriel / Mighty and Strong One];
-B How shall can this be seeing I know not a man?
–C 35 And the angel [Gabriel / Mighty and Strong One] answered and said unto her [Mary],
—D Of the Holy Ghost [Torah / plan] shall come upon thee,
—D and the power of the Highest [Elohim] shall overshadow thee.
–C Therefore also, that holy thing which child [Yeshua]
-B that shall be born of thee [Mary]
A shall be called the Son [Yeshua] [follower] of God [Elohim].

YHWH Elohim of the host of heaven taught the twelve tribes of Israel and the mixed multitude Torah after they left Egypt which goes along with the timing that YHWH brings up in Amos 3:1.

KJV Amos 3:1

YHWH is teaching everyone the basics of Torah all the time, despite many are ignoring it. Moroni (LDS 7:16) (RLDS 7:14-15) brings out the behovior of the Messiah, which is Torah, is given to all men or in other words all adults. Scriptures such as those listed below, especially 1 Chronicles 22:12, and many others state that YHWH, and YHWH only, gives us understanding of YHWH’s ways aka Torah. For those who are interested I show how the light talked about in Moroni (LDS 7) (RLDS 7) is Torah from the Tanak / Old Testament in the post All Things You Should Do Chiasmi.

Moroni (LDS 7:16) (RLDS 7:14-15)
A 16 For behold, the Spirit [behavior] of Christ [Messiah] is given to every man [adult],
-B that he [adults] may know good [righteousness] from evil [sin];
–C wherefore, I [Mormon] show unto you the way to judge [discern];
–CA for every thing which inviteth to do good [keep Torah],
–CB and to persuade to believe in Christ [Messiah],
-B is sent forth by the power and gift [Torah is a gift] of Christ [Messiah];
A wherefore ye may know with a perfect [Torah] knowledge it is of God [Elohim].

With the knowledge that the scriptures show that YHWH knew more people than just the Israelites and that YHWH gives us understanding of Torah, here is my translation of Amos 3:2.

KJV Amos 3:2
A You only have I [YHWH] known of all the families of the earth:
B therefore I [YHWH] will punish you [Israel] for all your [Israel’s] iniquities.

SJR Amos 3:2
A Only I [YHWH] gave understanding [of Torah] to all of the tribes of the land
B therefore I [YHWH] will punish you [Israel] for all your [Israel’s] iniquites.

SJR Amos 3:2
A Only you [H0853: I] [YHWH] have I known [תִּי‎: gave] [H3045: understanding] [of Torah] to all of the families [H4940: tribes] of the earth [H0127: land]:
B therefore I [YHWH] will punish you [Israel] for all your [Israel’s] iniquities.

Amos 3:2 Interlinear, BibleHub

In addition to the theological support I gave for my SJR Translation of Amos 3:2 above, I will talk about the Hebrew words behind the English translation. First word to address is the English word “you” from the Hebrew word “H0853: eth“, “H0853: eth” means “self” the one who is talking, or in otherwords “I”, not someone else as in “you”. Next is the Hebrew suffix “תִּי‎” of the word “H3045: yada” which is used to designate “first person did”. The word “did” is an action word not a word denoting possession as the KJV and other translations suggest. I translated the Hebrew suffix “תִּי‎” of the word “H3045: yada” to “gave” because YHWH Elohim did indeed give Torah to the Israelites and the mixed multitude after He took them out of Egypt as brought up in Ezekiel 3:1. I changed the Hebrew suffix “תִּי‎” from a word desinating possession to an action as the Hebrew suffix “תִּי‎” denotes it should be. YHWH gave Torah to the Israelites and the mixed multitude after He took them out of Egypt is connected to the English word “only” translated from the Hebrew word “H7535: raq” because as the Topical Lexicon Overview brings up that “H7535: raq” is used in connection to Torah about half the time in it’s usage in the Five books of Moses. For the Hebrew word “H3045: yada” I translated it as understanding because of Amos 3:1 with the timing it is bringing out and the verses that were listed above and many others shows that understanding of Torah and thus eternal life comes from YHWH and His words and ways. I translated “H4940: mishpachah” as tribes going more with the twelve tribes of Israel because Amos 3:1 shows that is who YHWH is talking to. I choose land for “H0127: adamah” simply because of the fact that YHWH promises land as part of the covenant.

BibleHub, H7535: raq:
raq: Only, merely, but, however
KJV: but, even, except, howbeit howsoever, at the least, nevertheless, nothing but, notwithstanding, only, save, so (that), surely, yet (so), in any wise
Word Origin: the same as H7534 (רַק – only) as a noun
Definition:
1) (properly) leanness, i.e. (figuratively) limitation
2) only adverbial, merely, or conjunctional, although
Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance:
but, even, except, howbeit howsoever, at the least, nevertheless
The same as raq as a noun; properly, leanness, i.e. (figuratively) limitation; only adverbial, merely, or conjunctional, although — but, even, except, howbeit howsoever, at the least, nevertheless, nothing but, notwithstanding, only, save, so (that), surely, yet (so), in any wise.
Topical Lexicon:
Overview:
The term denotes limitation, exception, or restriction and appears about 109 times in Holy Scripture. It marks what is uniquely true, what is withheld, or what must be singled out for careful obedience.
Key Clusters of Usage:
Pentateuch – roughly half of all occurrences. The word punctuates covenant stipulations and salvation narratives.

BibleHub, H0853: eth:
eth: Not typically translated; used as a direct object marker
KJV: (as such unrepresented in English)
Word Origin: apparent contracted from H226 (אוֹת – sign) in the demonstrative sense of entity
Definition:
1) (properly) SELF
2) (generally) used to point out the object of a verb (or preposition) more definitely
3) (hence) even or namely
Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance:
as such unrepresented in English
Apparent contracted from ‘owth in the demonstrative sense of entity; properly, self (but generally used to point out more definitely the object of a verb or preposition, even or namely) — (as such unrepresented in English).
NAS Exhaustive Concordance:
Definition: untranslatable mark of the accusative case.
Topical Lexicon:
Overview:
אֵת (eth) appears more than eleven thousand times across the Hebrew Scriptures, functioning primarily as the untranslatable marker that flags a definite direct object. Though silently rendered in most English versions, its presence guides readers to recognize what, precisely, is being acted upon, thereby sharpening narrative clarity, reinforcing covenantal specificity, and underscoring theological emphasis.
Grammatical Role as Direct Object Marker:
Placed immediately before a noun or noun phrase, אֵת signals that the following word is the direct object of the verb. In Genesis 1:1, for example, the Hebrew text inserts אֵת twice—before “the heavens” and “the earth”—making unmistakable that both realms are the singular workmanship of God. Because אֵת is not translated, its significance lies in what it points to rather than what it says; it is a grammatical highlighter chosen by divine inspiration to ensure that the object of God’s action cannot be mistaken.

BibleHub, H3045: yada:
yada: To know, to perceive, to understand, to acknowledge

Below is a chiasmus I brought out of Amos 3 with the SJR Translation of Amos 3:2 and JST Amos 3:6,7. The center stanzas of a chiasmus is the focus of the Hebrew poetry. And the first D stanza is about YHWH telling the prophets what He will do before He does it. And the second D stanza is about the wicked doing violence and robbing others. Both D stanzas go along how YHWH Elohim of hosts will punish the wicked, yet He will warn them first.

SJR & JST Amos 3
AA 1 Hear this word that the Lord [YHWH] hath spoken against you,
A-B O children of Israel,
A-B against the whole family
AA which I [YHWH] brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,
-BA You Only [H0853: I] [YHWH] have I known [תִּי‎: gave] [H3045: understanding] [of Torah] of to all of the families [H4940: tribes] of the earth [H0127: land]:
-BB therefore I [YHWH] will punish you [Israel] for all your [Israel’s] iniquities [sins].
–CAA 3 Can two walk together,
–CAB except they be agreed?
–C-BA 4 Will a lion roar in the forest,
–C-BB when he hath no prey?
–C–CA will a young lion cry out of his den,
–C–CB if he have taken nothing?
–C—DA 5 Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth,
–C—DB where no gin [trap] is for him?
–C–CA shall one take up a snare from the earth,
–C–CB and have taken nothing at all?
–C-BA 6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city,
–C-BB and the people not be afraid?
–CAA shall there be evil in a city,
–CAB and the Lord hath not done it known?
—DA 7 Surely the Lord [YHWH] God [Elohim] will do nothing,
—D-B but until He [YHWH] revealeth His [YHWH] the secret
—DA unto His [YHWH] servants the prophets.
—DAAA 8 The lion hath roared,
—DAAB who will not fear?
—DABA the Lord [YHWH] God [Elohim] hath spoken,
—DABB who can but prophesy?
—D-BA 9 Publish in the palaces at Ashdod [Philistines],
—D-B-B and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say,
—D-B–C Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria,
—D-B-B and behold the great tumults in the midst thereof,
—D-BA and the oppressed in the midst thereof.
—D–CA 10 For they know not to do right, saith the Lord [YHWH],
—D–CB who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.
—D-BA 11 Therefore thus saith the Lord [YHWH] God [Elohim];
—D-BBA An adversary there shall be even round about the land;
—D-BB-B and he shall bring down thy strength from thee,
—D-BBA and thy palaces shall be spoiled.
—DAAA 12 Thus saith the Lord [YHWH];
—DAAB As the shepherd taketh out of the mouth of the lion two legs,
—DAAC or a piece of an ear;
—DABA so shall the children of Israel be taken out
—DABB that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed,
—DABC and in Damascus [Syria] in a couch.
–CA 13 Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob,
–CB saith the Lord [YHWH] God [Elohim], the God [Elohim] of hosts,
-BA 14 That in the day that I [YHWH]
-B-BA shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him
-B-BB I [YHWH] will also visit the altars of Beth-el:
-B-BC and the horns [power] of the altar shall be cut off,
-BA and fall to the ground.
AA 15 And I [YHWH]
A-BA will smite the winter [wicked] house [people]
A-BB with the summer [righteous] house [people];
A-BA and the houses [people] of ivory [teeth / plans] shall perish,
A-BB and the great houses [people] shall have an end,
AA saith the Lord [YHWH].
