Hello Hello
Today I bring a topic of interest that perhaps many are obvious and that can be as true as it is false. Opinions are respected and accepted equally.
I hope it is of interest to many and they can understand my point of view.
Curiosities of a BIBLIA
DID YOU KNOW?
Eva was not the first
The first woman's name that God put was Sarah, the wife of Abraham. According to Genesis 17:15 "God also said to Abraham: To Sarai, your wife, you shall not call Sarai, but her name shall be Sarah." God changes the names because Sara means "princess among women" and to include her in the covenant with Abraham. Sarah, believing the promise of God and conceiving Isaac in her old age, became an example of faith and model of woman for the Hebrew people. Eve does not name him God, but Adam. Eve means "mother of all human beings".

The devil change of number
For centuries it was believed that the Apocalypse related the devil to the number 666, but in reality it is the 616. During the year 2005 a team from the University of Bimmingham translated the oldest copy of the New Testament and discovered that in the book of Revelations a bad translation had been made. Neither the Hebrew language nor the Greek possessed an independent numerical system, this was related to the letters of their alphabets. For this reason, the number 666 would be correct if the translation had been made from Hebrew to Greek, but the translation would have been made from Latin to Hebrew, and in that case the figure would be 616.

The divisions
The division of the Old Testament into verses was made by Jewish scholars of the Scriptures, called masoretas. The Masoretes dedicated their lives to recitation and copy of the Scriptures. They were the first who, between the ninth and tenth centuries, divided the text of the Old Testament into verses. Influenced by the work of the Masoretes, the French printer Robert D'etienne divided the New Testament into verses in the year 1551. The first Bible that included the division of chapters and verses was the so-called "Geneva Bible", published in Switzerland in the year 1560. The editors of the Geneva Bible opted for chapters and verses to facilitate the memorization, location and comparison of biblical passages.
