Black Spirituality Religion : A challenge to quote ERRORS/CONTRADICTIONS in the BIBLE.

we all need to get off the bible and deal with living up to our own standards.
when black people fight the white man wins.
I hear you. I'm not fighting anyone. I was just asking the brother a question.
 
Mistakes in Sums
From the value of πwe now move one notch down the level of mathematical sophistication. We realize that some authors of the Bible can’t even do simple sums. Here is one taken from Numbers Chapter 3. Here the male members more than one month old of the three clans of Levi, namely Gershon, Kohath and Merari were counted, this is how the figures came out:


Verse Description Number of members
Numbers 3: 21 The clan of Gershon 7,500
Numbers 3:27-28 The clan of Kohath 8,600
Numbers 3:33-34 The clan of Merari 6,200

Total 22,300


However Numbers 3: 39 gives the total as 22,000! Thus we have a discrepancy of 300 people. It is pointless to argue that the author was simply “rounding off” the total. Why then, did he not round up the original numbers? It is more likely that the author of Numbers simply got his sums wrong!
 
There is another summation error, this time big enough to give even the “round off” apologetic explanation a “headache” (in trying to come up with an explanation!). The passage Ezra 1:7-11 concerns the articles from the Temple which were returned to the Jews. It was mentioned, in Ezra 7:8, that the chief royal treasury made an inventory and that these are the items returned:



VerseDescriptionNumber of items
Ezra 1:9-10

gold basins 30
silver basins 1,000
silver pans 29
small gold bowls 30
small silver bowls 410
other vessels 1,000
Total 2,499


The total of articles returned were 2,499. Yet at the very next verse the total is given as:


Ezra 1:11
all the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand four hundred and sixty nine. (5,469)

Note that Ezra 1:10 does not allow other unlisted items to be assumed since the last portion already mentioned “other vessels” or other articles. Obviously a discrepancy of 2,970 exist between the given total of 5,469 and the actual total of 2,499.
