Luke 3:36 in every translation
Leer en españolThe same verse in each translation we publish, grouped by language and by the tradition that made it. Numbering is matched for each text (for example, Psalms in the Septuagint).
Why does my Bible say something different?
- Genesis 5 and 11: why the patriarchs’ ages differ
In the Greek Septuagint most patriarchs in Genesis 5 and 11 become fathers about 100 years later than in the Hebrew text, and Genesis 11 adds a second Cainan, whom St Luke also names (Luke 3:36). The result is a world history over a thousand years longer. The Byzantine calendar was built on the Greek numbers. No doctrine depends on either set.
