But no, I understand what you're saying. Manuscript differences aside though, I would say the translation (NASB) is quite accurate. In many palces it reads similar to AENT/Younan/Murdock in terms of it's translation style, which is nice for consistency sake. But of course, the differences between the NA27 and Peshitta are quite apparant, and I agree that the Peshitta lines up more with the Majority Text.
I'm curious though as to whether or not the ACOE did officially claim that the NASB was closest to the Peshitta though. Does anyone have a source?
