Je, tunajuaje kwamba kitabu kinachodaiwa kutoka kwa Mungu ni kweli Kitabu cha Mungu? Mojawapo ya vipimo, miongoni mwa vipimo vingi vya aina hii, ni kwamba Ujumbe unaotoka kwa Mwenye Ujuzi wa Yote LAZIMA uwe thabiti na wenyewe. Unapaswa kuwa huru kutokana na kutofautiana na kupingana kwote. Hiki ndicho hasa Agano la Mwisho, Kitabu cha Mungu, linachosema:

How do we know that a book claimed to be from God is really the Book of God? One of the tests, out of many such tests, is — that a Message emanating from an Omniscient Being MUST be consistent with itself. It ought to be free from all discrepancies and contradictions. This is exactly what the LAST TESTAMENT, the Book of God says:

Ikiwa Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu anataka sisi tuthibitishe uhalisi wa Kitabu Chake (Qur'ani Tukufu) kwa kipimo hiki kigumu, kwa nini tusitumie kipimo hicho hicho kwa kitabu chochote kingine kinachodai kutoka Kwake? Hatutaki kuwadanganya watu kwa maneno kama wanavyofanya Wakristo. Itakubaliwa kwa urahisi kutokana na marejeo niliyotoa kutoka kwa wanazuoni Wakristo, kwamba wao wenyewe wamekuwa wakituonyesha kwamba Biblia SI Neno la Mungu, lakini wakitufanya tuamini kwamba wametushawishi kinyume chake.

If God Almighty wants us to verify the authenticity of His Book (The Holy Qur’ân) with this acid test, why should we not apply the very same test to any other Book claiming to be from Him? We do not want to bamboozle anybody with words as the Christians have been doing. It would be readily agreed from the references, I have given from Christian scholars, that they have been proving to us that the Bible is NOT the Word of God, yet making us believe that they have actually convinced us to the contrary.

Mfano wa wazi wa ugonjwa huu ulionekana tena "jana" tu. Sinodi ya Kanisa la Anglikana ilikuwa ikikutana Grahamstown. Mhashamu Bill Burnett, Askofu Mkuu, alikuwa akiwahubiria kundi lake. Alizua mkanganyiko miongoni mwa jumuiya yake ya Waanglikana. Mwingereza mwenye elimu kubwa, akizungumza na kundi la mapadre na maaskofu wasomi wa Kiingereza, kwa lugha yao ya asili, Kiingereza, lakini wenzake hawa wasomi walimwelewa vibaya sana: kiasi kwamba Bwana McMillan, labda pia Mwanglikana, Mhariri wa gazeti la kila siku la Kiingereza, "The Natal Mercury", la tarehe 11 Desemba 1979, alisema yafuatayo kuhusu mkanganyiko ambao Askofu Mkuu alikuwa ameuzua miongoni mwa makasisi wake wenyewe wasomi:

A classic example of this sickness was in evidence again only "yesterday" The Anglican synod was in session in Grahamstown. The Most. Rev. Bill Burnett, the Archbishop was preaching to his flock. He created a confusion in his Anglican community. An erudite Englishman, addressing a group of learned English priests and bishops, in their own mother-tongue — English, which his learned colleagues drastically misunderstood: to such an extent that Mr. McMillan, perhaps also an Anglican, the Editor of an English daily — "The Natal Mercury" dated December 11, 1979, had this to say about the confusion the Archbishop had created among his own learned clergy:

ASKOFU MKUU BURNETT ALIPOTOA MAONI YAKE KATIKA SINODI HAYAKUWA MFANO WA UWAZI, NA WENGI WALIOKUWEPO WALIYAFASIRI VIBAYA KWA NAMNA KUBWA NA YA KUSTAAJABISHA. Hakuna chochote kibaya katika lugha ya Kiingereza yenyewe, lakini je, huoni kwamba Mkristo amefundishwa kufikiri kwa mkanganyiko katika mambo yote ya kidini? "Mkate" katika Ushirika wake Mtakatifu si mkate bali ni mwili? "Divai" ni damu? "Watatu ni mmoja?" na "Binadamu ni Mungu?" Lakini usikosee, yeye si mjinga hivyo anaposhughulika na ufalme wa dunia; hapo ndipo huwa makini zaidi. Utahitaji kuwa mwangalifu mara mbili unapoingia mkataba naye! Anaweza kukuuza bila wewe hata kutambua.

"ARCHBISHOP BURNETTS REMARKS AT THE SYNOD WERE HARDLY A MODEL OF CLARITY AND WERE WIDELY AND DRAMATICALLY MISINTERPRETED BY MANY OF THOSE PRESENT." There is nothing wrong with English as a language, but can't you see that the Christian is trained in muddled thinking in all matters religious. The "bread" in his Holy Communion is not "bread" but "flesh?" The "wine" is "blood?" "Three is one?" and "Human is Divine?" But don't make a mistake, he is not that simple when dealing with the earthly kingdom, he is then most precise. You will have to be doubly careful when entering into a contract with him! He can have you sold out, without you realising it.

Mifano nitakayotoa kuthibitisha hoja nilizotoa kuhusu mikinzano katika kile kinachoitwa Kitabu cha Mungu, itakuwa rahisi hata kwa mtoto kuifuata na kuielewa. Tazama hapa chini.

The examples that I shall furnish in substantiating the points I have raised about the contradictions in the so-called Book of God, would be found so easy even for a child to follow and understand. See below.

Mbali na kuonyesha utii kwa Mungu kama ilivyoelezwa mahali pengine, Shetani (Ibilisi) pia anapewa haki yake. Mgawanyiko huu kwa upande wa mwandishi wa Mambo ya Nyakati unanikumbusha hadithi ya yule mama mzee aliyewasha mshumaa mmoja kwa Mtakatifu Mikaeli na mwingine kwa shetani. Mtakatifu Mikaeli alikuwa akimkanyaga shetani chini ya miguu yake, ili kwamba iwe ataenda Mbinguni au Jehanamu, angekuwa na rafiki. Huyu mwandishi wa Mambo ya Nyakati alihakikisha kwamba ana rafiki mahakamani huko Juu, pamoja na rafiki mahakamani huko Chini. Alitaka kupata kila kitu kwa pande zote mbili, au alitaka kula keki yake na pia kuwa nayo.

Apart from showing allegiance to God as is noted elsewhere, the Devil (Satan) is also given his due. This dichotomy on the part of the author of Chronicles reminds one of the story of the old woman who lit one candle to St. Michael and another to the devil. St. Michael was trampling underfoot, so that whether she went to Heaven or Hell, she would have a friend. This Chronicles fellow, made sure that he had a friend at court Above, as well as a friend at court Below. He wanted to have it both ways, or wanted to have his cake and eat it too.

Unatambua kwamba waandishi wa vitabu vya "Mambo ya Nyakati" na "Samweli" wanatusimulia hadithi hiyo hiyo kuhusu Daudi kuwahesabu Wayahudi. Daudi alipata wapi "msukumo" huu wa kufanya tendo hilo geni? Mwandishi wa 2 Samweli 24:1 anasema kwamba ni BWANA Mungu aliyemchochea Daudi, lakini mwandishi wa 1 Mambo ya Nyakati 21:1 anasema kwamba ni SHETANI aliyemchochea Daudi kufanya kitendo hicho cha kuchukiza! Mungu Mwenyezi angewezaje kuwa chanzo cha "misukumo" hii inayopingana? Je, ni Mungu au ni Shetani! Katika dini gani SHETANI ni sawa na MUNGU? Sizungumzii "Ushetani", chipukizi la hivi karibuni la Ukristo, ambapo wale waliowahi kuwa Wakristo huabudu Shetani. Ukristo umezaa itikadi nyingi zaidi. Uyakinifu, Ukomunisti, Ufashisti, Utotalitarianism, Unazi, Umormoni, Umooni, Usayansi wa Kikristo na sasa Ushetani. Ukristo utazaa nini kingine?

You will observe that the authors of the books of "Chronicles" and of "Samuel" are telling us the same story about David taking a census of the Jews. Where did David get his "inspiration" to do this novel deed? The author of 2 Samuel 24:1 says that it was the "LORD" God who MOVED (RSV: "incited") David, but the author of 1 Chronicles 21:1 says that it was "SATAN" who PROVOKED (RSV: "incited") David to do such a dastardly thing! How could the Almighty God have been the source of these contradictory "INSPIRATIONS?" Is it God or is it Satan! In which religion is the DEVIL synonymous with GOD? I am not talking about "Satanism" a recent fungus growth of Christianity, in which ex-Christians worship the Devil. Christianity has been most prolific of spawning isms. Atheism, Communism, Fascism, Totalitarianism, Nazism, Mormonism, Moonism, Christian Scientism and now Satanism. What else will Christianity give birth to?

Kama ushahidi zaidi utakavyotolewa kutoka kwa "Samweli" na "Mambo ya Nyakati", nadhani ni busara kwanza kubainisha waandishi wake badala ya kumtuhumu Mungu kwa mapungufu yaliyomo katika vitabu hivyo. Wasahihishaji wa RSV wanasema:

As further evidence will be adduced from "Samuel" and "Chronicles" I deem it advisable first to determine their authors instead of suspecting God of those books' incongruities. The Revisers of the RSV say:

(a) SAMUEL: Mwandishi "Haijulikani" (Neno moja tu)

(a) SAMUEL: Author "Unknown" (Just one word)

(b) VITABU VYA NYAKATI: Mwandishi "Haijulikani, pengine alikusanya na kuhariri Ezra." Tunapaswa kuheshimu unyenyekevu wa wanazuoni hawa wa Biblia, lakini maneno yao "pengine", "huenda" na "inawezekana" daima yanafasiriwa kama "KWELI KABISA" na kondoo wao waliopunjwa. Kwa nini wamfanye Ezra au Isaya kuwa wa kubebeshwa lawama kwa ajili ya waandishi hawa wasiojulikana?

(b) CHRONICLES: Author "Unknown, probably collected and edited by Ezra." We must admire the humility of these Bible scholars, but their "possiblys" "probablys" and "likelys" are always construed as ACTUALLY'S by their fleeced sheep. Why make poor Ezra or Isaiah the scapegoats for these anonymous writers?

Ikiwa Mungu ndiye Mwandishi wa kila neno, kila koma na kila nukta katika Biblia, kama Wakristo wanavyodai, basi je, yeye ndiye Mwandishi pia wa tofauti hii ya kihesabu iliyotajwa hapo juu?

If God is the Author of every single word, comma and full-stop in the Bible, as the Christians claim, then is He the Author of the above arithmetical discrepancy as well?

Tazama nukuu zote mbili. 2 Samweli 24:13 inatuambia — "Basi Gadi akamwendea Daudi, AKAMWAMBIA, akamwambia . . ." Maneno haya yanarudiwa neno kwa neno katika 1 Mambo ya Nyakati 21:11, isipokuwa maneno yasiyo ya lazima "AKAMWAMBIA" yameondolewa! Lakini wakati wa kuondoa maneno hayo yasiyo ya lazima, mwandishi pia alipunguza kipindi cha muda kutoka miaka "SABA" hadi miaka "MITATU". Mungu alimwambia nini Gadi — njaa ya miaka Mitatu au Saba — "juu ya nyumba zenu zote mbili?"

Note the reproduction of above. Compare both the quotations. 2 Samuel 24:13 tells us — "So Gad came to David, AND TOLD HIM, and said unto him . . ." These words are repeated word for word in 1 Chronicles 21:11, except the redundant "AND TOLD HIM" is removed! But while trimming the useless phrase, the author also pruned the time factor from "SEVEN" years to "THREE" years. What did God say to Gad — Three or Seven years plague — "on both your houses?"

Compare the two quotations. 2 Chronicles 36:9 tells us that JEHOIACHIN was "eight" years old when he began to reign, while 2 Kings 24:8 says that he was "eighteen" when he began to reign. The "unknown" author of KINGS must have reasoned that what possible "evil" could a child of eight do to deserve his abdication, so he generously added ten years to make JEHOIACHIN mature enough to become liable to God's wrath. However, he had to balance his tampering, so he cut short his reign by 10 days! Add TEN years to age and deduct TEN days from rule? Could God Almighty say two widely differing things on the same subject?

See below. Compare the two quotations. 2 Chronicles 36:9 tells us that JEHOIACHIN was "eight" years old when he began to reign, while 2 Kings 24:8 says that he was "eighteen" when he began to reign. The "unknown" author of KINGS must have reasoned that what possible "evil" could a child of eight do to deserve his abdication, so he generously added ten years to make JEHOIACHIN mature enough to become liable to God's wrath. However, he had to balance his tampering, so he cut short his reign by 10 days! Add TEN years to age and deduct TEN days from rule? Could God Almighty say two widely differing things on the same subject?

Kati ya miaka minane na kumi na minane, kuna pengo au tofauti ya miaka kumi kamili. Je, tunaweza kusema (Mungu apishe mbali!) kwamba Mwenyezi Mungu Mjuzi wa yote hakuweza kuhesabu, na hivyo hakujua tofauti kati ya 8 na 18? Kama tunapaswa kuamini Biblia kuwa Neno la Mungu, basi Heshima na Hadhi ya Bwana Mwenyezi itashuka hadi kiwango cha chini kabisa!

Between Eight and Eighteen years, there is a gap or difference at a full 10 years. Can we say (God forbid!) that the all-knowing Almighty could not count, and thus did not know the difference between 8 and 18? If we are to believe in the Bible as the Word of God, then the Dignity and Status of the Lord Almighty will hit an all-time low!

Linganisha nukuu mbili zilizo kwenye ukurasa wa 40. Daudi aliwaua wapanda magari wangapi? Mia saba au elfu saba? Zaidi ya hayo, aliwaua wapanda farasi 40000 au watembea kwa miguu 40000? Maana iliyo katika tofauti kati ya 2 Samweli 10:18 na 1 Mambo ya Nyakati 19:18 si tu kwamba Mungu hakuweza kutofautisha mamia na maelfu, bali pia kwamba hakuweza hata kutofautisha "WAPANDA FARASI" na "WATEMBEA KWA MIGUU"! Ni dhahiri kwamba kufuru hujificha katika kamusi ya Kikristo kama "uvuvio!" 700 au 7 000?

Compare the two quotations on page 40. How many chariot riders did David slay? Seven hundred or seven thousand? And further, did he slay 40000 "HORSEMEN" or 40000 "FOOTMEN?" The implication in the conflicting records between 2 Samuel 10:18 and 1 Chronicles 19:18 is not only that God could not discern the difference between hundreds and thousands, but that He could not even distinguish "CAVALRY" from "INFANTRY!" It is obvious that blasphemy masquerades in the Christian dictionary as "inspiration!" 700 or 7 000?

Bila shaka si jambo la kuwafariji wapenzi wa Biblia kwamba sifuri nzima (0) iliongezwa kwa 700, au ilitolewa kutoka 7 000, na hivyo kufanya Hesabu ya Kibiblia iliyochanganyika kuwa imechanganyikiwa zaidi!*

It is certainly naught for Bible-lovers' comfort that a whole nought (0) was either added to 700, or subtracted from 7 000, thus making the confused Biblical Mathematics even more confounded!*

Maoni kuhusu Sifuri yatajadiliwa hivi karibuni.

* The remarks on the Zero will be discussed soon.

Kuhusu "waandishi walioongozwa" wa Biblia kutojua tofauti kati ya "askari wa miguu" na "wapanda farasi," jambo hilo ni zito zaidi kwa sababu Mungu mwenyewe hapa anashtakiwa kuwa chanzo cha "uongozi" huo kwa kutojua tofauti kati ya wapanda farasi na askari wa miguu. Au inawezekana kwamba Waaramu waliokimbia mbele ya Israeli walikuwa centaurs (yaani, kiumbe cha mwili na miguu ya farasi na kiwiliwili, kichwa na mikono ya mwanadamu)? Inawezekana kwamba "viumbe" hao walitoka ghafla katika Mythology ya Kale ya Kigiriki ili kuwashangaza waandishi wote waliokuwa wepesi kuamini?

As for the "inspired writers" of the Bible not knowing the difference between "footmen" and "horsemen," is all the more serious because God himself here stands accused, as a source of that "inspiration" for not knowing the difference between cavalry and infantry. Or is it possible that the Syrians who fled before Israel were centaurs (i.e. a race of creatures with the body and legs of a horse and the torso, head and arms of a man), is it possible that these "creatures" had suddenly stepped out of Classical Mythology to bemuse the all too gullible authors.

Sulemani (amani juu yake) alianza kujenga jumba la kifalme kwa ajili yake mwenyewe, na ujenzi huo ulimchukua miaka kumi na mitatu. Tunapata habari hii katika Kitabu cha Kwanza cha Wafalme, sura ya 7. Unakumbuka madai ya Dk. Parker (aliyotangulia kuyatoa) kuhusu "kurasa nzima kujazwa na majina yasiyojulikana"? Basi, kwa upuuzi mtupu, huwezi kulinganisha sura ya 7 hii na Ezekieli sura ya 45. Unajidai kusoma angalau mara moja maishani mwako. Baada ya hapo, utaanza kuthamini kwa kweli Qur'ani Tukufu! Vifungu vilivyo hapa chini vimeandikwa upya kwa ajili ya starehe yako ya kuchosha. Pata Biblia yako mwenyewe na uipake rangi kwa ajili ya marejeo rahisi. Unaweza kupaka rangi marejeo mbalimbali kutoka kijitabu hiki katika Biblia yako: "Njano" kwa kila mkinzano; "Nyekundu" kwa vifungu vya ponografia; na "Kijani" kwa nukuu zenye busara na zinazokubalika kama zile nilizozitaja mwanzoni mwa insha hii, yaani maneno unayoweza kuyatambua kwa urahisi kuwa ni ya Mungu na Wajumbe wake Watakatifu. Kwa maandalizi haya tu, utakuwa tayari kuwakanusha na kuwachanganya wamishonari au wasomi wa Biblia watakaokutana nawe! "TUKITOKWA JASHO ZAIDI WAKATI WA AMANI, TUTAMWAGA DAMU KIDOGO WAKATI WA VITA." (Chiang Kai-Shek)

Solomon is his glory began building a royal palace for himself which took him thirteen years. We learn this from the 1st Book of Kings, chapter 7. You remember Dr. Parker's boast (earlier on) about "whole pages being taken up by obscure names?" Well, for sheer puerility you cannot beat this chapter 7 and Ezekiel chapter 45. You owe it to yourself to read it just once in your lifetime. After that, you will really appreciate the Holy Qur’ân! Reproduced below, you will read the passages for your boring pleasure. Obtain your own Bible and colour code it for easy reference. You may colour the various references from this booklet in your Bible: "Yellow" for all contradictions; use "Red" for pornographic passages; and "Green" for sensible, acceptable quotations as the ones I have mentioned at the beginning of this essay — that is words that you can effortlessly recognize as being those of God and His Holy Messengers. With just this preparation, you will be ready to confute and confuse any missionary or Bible scholar that comes your way! "IF WE PERSPIRE MORE IN TIMES OF PEACE, WE WILL BLEED LESS IN TIMES OF WAR." (Chiang Kai-Shek)

MUNGU KAMA MJENZI, MHANDISI NA MFUNDI WA UFUNDI (IKIWA UNA SUBIRA, SOMA SURA HII NA UKAMILISHE SURA NZIMA KATIKA BIBLIA YAKO)

GOD, AS BUILDER, ENGINEER AND CRAFTSMAN (IF YOU HAVE PATIENCE, READTHIS CHAPTER AND COMPLETE THE REST OF THE CHAPTER IN YOUR BIBLE)

MUNGU, KAMA MPIMAJI WA ARDHI NA MBUNIFU (IKIWA UNA SUBIRA, SOMA SURA HII NA UKAMILISHE SURA NZIMA KATIKA BIBLIA YAKO)

GOD, AS LAND SURVEYOR AND ARCHITECT (IF YOU HAVE PATIENCE, READ THIS CHAPTER AND COMPLETE THE REST OF THE CHAPTER IN YOUR BIBLE)

Sasa, angalia hapa chini na utambue kwamba mwandishi wa 1 Wafalme 7:26 amehesabu mabafu 2,000 katika jumba la Sulemani, lakini mwandishi wa 2 Nyakati 4:5 ameongeza idadi hiyo kwa asilimia 50 hadi 3,000! Ni ubadhirifu na kosa gani haya katika "Kitabu cha Mungu"? Hata kama Mungu Mwenyezi asingekuwa na jambo lingine la kufanya, je, angejishughulisha "kuvuvia" upuuzi mdogo unaopingana kiasi hiki kwa Wayahudi? Je, Biblia ni Kitabu cha Mungu? Je, ni Neno la Mungu?

Now, look below and note that the author of 1 Kings 7:26 has counted 2 000 baths in Solomon's palace, but the author of 2 Chronicles 4:5 increases the kingly count by 50% to 3 000! What extravagance and error in the "Book of God?" Even if God Almighty had nothing else to do, would He occupy Himself "inspiring" such trivial contradictory nonsense to the Jews? Is the Bible God's Book? Is it the Word of God?

"NA HAKUNA MUUJIZA ITAKAYOTHIBITISHA KWAMBA MBILI NA MBILI NI TANO, AU KWAMBA DUARA INA MALAIKA WANNE; NA HAKUNA MIUJIZA, HATA ZIKIWA NYINGI KIASI GANI, INAYOWEZA KUONDOA KINZANI AMBACHO KIPO JUU JUU KATIKA MAFUNDISHO NA KUMBUKUMBU ZA UKRISTO." — (Albert Schweizer), kutoka kitabu chake: "In Search of the Historical Jesus." Ukurasa wa 22.

Whether it is witting or unwitting, the "inspired" writer's singular inability to grasp the difference between 2 000 and 3 000 is unforgivable. It is an obvious contradiction. "AND NO MIRACLE WOULD PROVE THAT TWO AND TWO MAKES FIVE, OR THAT A CIRCLE HAS FOUR ANGELS; AND NO MIRACLES, HOWEVER NUMEROUS COULD REMOVE A CONTRADICTION WHICH LIES ON THE SURFACE OF THE TEACHINGS AND RECORDS OF CHRISTIANITY." — (Albert Schweizer), from his book: "In Search of the Historical Jesus." Page 22.

Kabla sijahitimisha mfululizo huu wa upinzani, acha nikupe mfano mmoja zaidi. Kuna mamia mengine katika Biblia. Tazama hapa chini. Ni Sulemani tena. Yeye hufanya mambo kwa njia kubwa sana! Shah wa zamani wa Iran alikuwa mtoto mchanga ukilinganisha naye! Mwandishi wa 2 Mambo ya Nyakati 9:25 anampa Sulemani mabanda elfu moja zaidi ya farasi kuliko idadi ya mabanda ya magari aliyopewa. "Na Sulemani alikuwa na mabanda ELFU NNE ya farasi ..." Lakini mwandishi wa 1 Wafalme 4:26 alikuwa na mawazo ya kifalme kuhusu mlinzi wake wa kifalme. Alizidisha mabanda ya Sulemani kwa 1 000%, kutoka 4 000 hadi 40 000 mabanda ya farasi! Kabla mhubiri mmoja mwenye maneno matamu hajakuvuta macho yako kwa sufu kwamba tofauti ni sifuri tu, "0", kwamba mwandishi au mnakili fulani alikosea kuongeza sifuri kwenye 4 000 na kufanya 40 000, niruhusu nikuambie kwamba Wayahudi wa zama za Sulemani hawakujua chochote kuhusu sifuri, "O"! Waarabu ndio waliotambulisha sifuri Mashariki ya Kati na Ulaya karne nyingi baadaye. Wayahudi waliandika namba zao kwa maneno katika kazi zao za fasihi na hawakuziandika kwa tarakimu. Swali letu ni: Nani hasa alikuwa mwandishi wa tofauti hii ya kushangaza ya 36 000? Je, ilikuwa ni Mungu au mwanadamu? Utapata marejeo haya na ukweli mwingine mwingi unaohusiana katika kitabu kipana sana, "THE BIBLE — Word of God or Word of Man?" cha A. S. K. Joommal.

Before I conclude this series of contradictions, let me give you just one more example. There are hundreds of others in the Bible. See below. It is Solomon again. He really does things in a big way. The ex-Shah of Iran was a nursery kid by comparison! The author of 2 Chronicles 9:25 gives Solomon one thousand more stalls of horses than the number of baths he had given him. "And Solomon had FOUR thousand stalls for horses ..." But the author of 1 Kings 4:26 had real kingly thoughts about his royal patron. He multiplied Solomon's stalls by 1 000% — from 4 000 to 40000 stalls of horses! Before some glib evangelist draws the wool over your eyes that the difference is only a nought, a zero — "0"; that some scribe or copyist had inadvertently added a zero to 4 000 to make it 40 000, let me tell you that the Jews in the time of Solomon knew nothing about the zero — "O"! It was the Arabs who introduced the zero to the Middle East and to Europe centuries later. The Jews spelt out their figures in words in their literary works and did not write them in numerals. Our Question is — Who was the real author of this staggering discrepency of 36000? Was it God or man? You will find these references and many more allied facts in a very comprehensive book — "THE BIBLE — Word of God or Word of Man?" by A. S. K. Joommal.

Tofauti kati ya elfu 4 na elfu 40 ni 36 OOO tu! Wayahudi hawakutumia "0" (sifuri) katika Agano la Kale

The Difference between 4 thousand and 40 thousand is only 36 OOO! The Jews did not use The "0" (Zero) in the Old Testament between 4 thousand and 40 thousand is only 36 OOO! The Jews did not use The "0" (Zero) in the Old Testament
