I was using the NIV translation. Are you saying the NIV is not a correct translation? Any credible Bible scholar would disagree with you, including my uncle who translated Scripture for a living. “Family” and “clan” have the same meaning.

The NIV is not a translation...It's a paraphrase...

And if 'family' and 'clan' mean the same thing, why change family to clan???

“And if ‘family’ and ‘clan’ mean the same thing, why change family to clan???”

Or why change “clan” to “family”? What does it matter when they mean the same thing?

When you can’t refute, you can always nitpick on a nonissue.
