><>...Raymond, this one is a very easy one...><>
2 Samuel 10:18 (700, 40,000 horsemen)
1 Chronicles 19:18 (7,000, 40,000 footmen)
It is a very easy one for anyone who is familiar with the Hebrew language and is blessed to have a copy of the Hebrew manuscripts.
The final Nun was mistaken for the dotted Zayin. There is very little difference in these two letters except for a minute separation between the top and bottom of the letter.
The mistranslation was because of a jot and a tittle.
Picture a lit candle. The candle stick and the flame are actually connected, now blow the candle out....the flame is no longer there. See the candle without the pointed flame?
Another illustration is the T, now picture the trunk of the T just ever so slightly disconnected from the top - of the T.
The problem occurred in the translation from the manu.to the printing of the Bible. This was the mistake of a sleepy scribe.
God made no mistakes....Man does.

I am also in very close contact with a supreme Ct.justice in an Islamic ruled Govt. We have had some very interesting conversations and I know very well the inside track. I know the mind set.
