#13 = GENESIS 6:9
THE VERSE:
“These are the GENERATIONS of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his GENERATIONS, and Noah walked with God.”
THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS TRANSLATION:
People assume that this verse is a reference to Noah’s pedigree, i.e. to his ancestral line. But that is not at all what God is telling us in this verse. In this context a reference to Noah’s pedigree would have been meaningless!
Noah was the tenth generation from Adam (counting Adam as the first generation). EVERYBODY ALIVE at that time could also claim a direct line of descent from Adam. If the statement “perfect in his generations” was supposed to be a reference to Noah’s pedigree, then everybody else was also “perfect in his generations”. There is nothing in this verse that sets Noah’s pedigree apart from every other descendant of Adam via Seth.
THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRANSLATION:
There are two completely different Hebrew words in this verse, which are both translated into English as “generations”. This creates some confusion.
In the expression “these are the generations of Noah” the Hebrew word is “toledah, pl. toledoth”. But in the expression “perfect in his generations” the Hebrew word is “dowr”.
#14 = GENESIS 17:10-11
THESE VERSES:
“This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.” (v 10)
“And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.” (v 11)
THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS TRANSLATION:
This is not a mistranslation as such. Rather, here we are dealing with a totally inappropriate verse division, which then has the same effect as a mistranslation.
THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRANSLATION:
Verses 1 to the first part of verse 10 form ONE DISCUSSION. These verses spell out the covenant (agreement) that God was making with Abraham. In essence Abraham’s part in that covenant was “to walk before God and to be upright and sincere” (the same word “tamiym” as in Genesis 6:9 is used here, verse 1). God’s part in that.
A CORRECT DIVISION OF THESE VERSES:
“This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee.” (v 10)
“Every man child among you shall be circumcised, and ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you. And he that is eight days old …” (v 11-12)
THE CORRECT MEANING OF THESE VERSES:
God made a covenant with Abraham that he and his descendants were to live in honesty and in integrity before God. To outwardly show their willingness and commitment to live by these terms, God added the token of circumcision to this covenant. In the New Testament that covenant is just as binding on Christians, and even more so. But in the New Testament the token to indicate the commitment to live by this covenant was changed from circumcision to both, baptism and to receiving the down-payment, the first instalment as it were, of the Holy Spirit. Same covenant but a different token.

27 number 27 derives part of its meaning from being the cube of 3 (3 x 3 x 3).
Genesis 25:9 And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre;
Genesis 49: 29-32
29
And he charged them, and said unto them, I am to be gathered unto my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,
30
In the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field of Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a buryingplace.
31
There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah.
32
The purchase of the field and of the cave that is therein was from the children of Heth.
Sarah, Abraham’s wife who name means “princess” or “princess of the multitude,” is the only woman in Scripture whose age at death is recorded. She died at the age of 127 (100 + 27, see Genesis 23:1). Abraham, after mourning for his wife, bought a cave in Hebron in which to bury her. Abraham himself would ultimately be laid to rest in the cave (Genesis 25:9), as well as Isaac and his wife Rebekah and Jacob and his wife Leah (49:29 – 32).
