I didnt put more info because i wanted unbiased opinions.
FirstI want to say thank you again and also that my faith in God is strong.
I believe that all the answers of our world is right there to be translated.
I use a KJV and regret that I can not read its original form.
WhatI meant was this...
Was Adam a Tribe that came unto the tribe of Eve?
And thus came the Tribes of Cain and Abel.
The tribe of Abel was destroyed by the tribe of Cain
Then from the cursed tribe of Caincame thetribe of Enoch.
so on and so on....
If this is, can it be that thetime mentioned during Genesis was also mistranslated...
example: Gen 5:31
"And all the days of Lamech were seven hunded seventy and seven years: and he died" If time was mistranslated it "could" mean that all the days of the Tribe of Lamech were 777000 years.
It is unlikely that there could be a tribe of Homo sapiens777,000 years old since anatomically modern humansdidn't appear until about 150,000 years ago.

I do not understand "1611" 1611 is the date that the King James was translated from the Greek and Hebrew .
I DO NOT want a more corrupted form.
I now want to learn to read it's original form. In that case you will need to learn Hebrew and Greek. Until that time ...you could buy a Strong's Concordance and do Word studies. Every word in the Bible will be in there with the Greek and Hebrew word beside it with its original meaning. Cost...about 30.00
1611 I feel ignorant. I knew that.
I knew how to put the "words" to "numbers" as in 777 also.
I meant something different that I may not even be able to explain myself in words.
I WILL go purchase the Concordance that you mentioned and I will study it.
I thank you greatly for your time.

even Hebrew is a "translation" of what God says...for a God is a Spirit, and His heavenly language is undecernable to us...according to the Word.
I, personally, look for the Spirit, regardless of which text the words are written in....the Spirit influenced the prophets to speak...the Spirit influenced men to pen those words...the Spirit MUST be within the Believer to accurately receive the mysteries of Gods' word...that's why Paul asked if any had recieved the Holy Ghost since they fist believed...cause only the Spirit can interpret Gods' language
