If this is correct then this is what it would mean in Revelation 13:16. Here is how the KJV translates this verse.
"And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:"
This would mean they may possibly have it right in the second but wrong in the first, if I am correct in thinking the first is dative and the second in accusative.

Before you break out the flaming torches and the pitchforks, first I want to clarify something. I believe the God's Word is His ultimate written authority to us. I believe the Bible is perfect. I believe the whole Bible is written FOR us, but that not every part is written TO us. I believe God is absolute truth and His ways don't change with the times. I believe we need to conform to Christ's image and not try and make Him conform to our image (it had to be said!) I believe we need to understand Law to understand Grace and the Old Covenant to understand the New Covenant. I believe we are saved by grace through faith alone. I even believe those wacky first 11 chapters of Genesis are history.
That said, I believe the Bible has errors. I'm not talking about doctrinal issues, I'm talking simple scribal errors. Spelling, grammar, people's names, little inventory details. Like how many chariots went to war or Cainan in the genealogies. Does anyone know why these errors haven't been corrected? The Church has known about them for a long time. Just curious. Thanks.

The reason is probably also partially that we don't necessarily know what the original number was supposed to be. How many chariots actually went to war? We can't be sure, so let's just leave it, is the thinking.
I think the other reason is - where do we draw the line about what the church should 'fix' and what it shouldn't? If we have no documentary evidence for a reading, and we start making decisions based on conjecture, where does it end? Who gets to the draw the line about what should and shouldn't be there, and on what basis should we make those kinds of decisions?
Hi KJV1611,
I've posted this before, but If you haven't already seen it, regarding your conversation of Rev.13:16, I thought that you might find this lending to prophesy:

Lev 11:6
6 And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
Lev 11:6
6 And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
Epistle of Barnabas
Chapter 10
11 Moses says again, "Eat of every animal that is cloven hoofed and ruminant." What does he mean? That he who receives food knows him who feeds him, and rests on him and seems to rejoice. Well did he speak with regard to the commandment. What then does he mean? Consort with those who fear the Lord, with those who meditate in their heart on the meaning of the word which they have received, with those who speak of and observe the ordinances of the Lord, with those who know that meditation is a work of gladness, and who ruminate on the word of the Lord. But what does "the cloven hoofed" mean? That the righteous both walks in this world and looks forward to the holy age. See how well Moses legislated.
