    Yes, those too weakly for immersion could have the water poured upon them. Dipping was to be done ordinarily, per the Book of Common Prayer.

    Under the Westminster regime (c. 1645-1660) the proper mode was discarded. Their Directory for Public Worship demanded sprinkling/pouring water 'on the face' for all.

    When I'm reading or studying the NASB by myself, it doesn't strike me as being "wooden."

    But when I read it aloud to others, I have to admit that seems to be the case.

    It was not translation for readability as primary goal, as Niv and Nlt were, but for accuracy!
