Message-ID: Date: 5 May 91 04:39:14 GMT Sender: hedrick@athos.rutgers.edu Organization: Microsoft Corp., Redmond WA Lines: 8 Approved: christian@aramis.rutgers.edu Another thing to note in connection with 666 is that it may not be THE number. My old RSV has a note indicating that "other authorities" give the number as 616, as does my copy of the NRSV. Perhaps all the ingenuity expended on 666 is beside the point. Anyone know the textual history?
