Masoretic Corruptions

The Masoretic generally corrupts all the ages given in the generations of Genesis, which would estimate the world is ~1000 years younger.

Genesis 4:7

Hast thou not sinned if thou hast brought it rightly, but not rightly divided it? Be still, to thee shall be his submission, & thou shalt rule over him.

If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? & if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. Unto thee shall be his desire, & thou shalt rule over him.

Job 2:9

When much time had passed, his wife said to him, How long wilt thou hold out, saying, Behold, I wait yet a little while, expecting the hope of my deliverance? For, behold thy memorial is abolished from the earth, even thy sons & daughters, the pangs & pains of my womb which I bore in vain with sorrows; & thou thyself sittest down to spend the nights in the open air among the corruption of worms, & I am a wanderer & a servant from place to place & house to house, waiting for the setting of the sun, that I may rest from my labours & my pangs which now beset me: but say some word against the Lord, & die.

Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, & die.

Job 38:17

Do the gates of death open to thee for fear; & did the porters of hell quake when they saw thee?

Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?

Job 42:17

Then Job died, an old man & full of days: & it is written that he will rise again with those whom the Lord raiseth up. This man is described in the Syriac book as living in the land of Ausis, on the borders of Idumæa & Arabia: & his name before was Jobab; & having taken an Arabian wife, he begot a son whose name was Ennon. He himself was the son of his father Zare, one of the sons of Esau, & of his mother Bosorrha, so that he was the fifth from Abraham. These were the kings who reigned in Edom, which country he also ruled over: first, Balac, the son of Beor, & the name of his city was Dennaba: but after Balac, Jobab, who is called Job: & after him Asom, who was governor out of the country of Thæman: & after him Adad, the son of Barad, who destroyed Madiam in the plain of Moab; & the name of his city was Gethaim. His friends who came to him were Eliphaz, of the children of Esau, king of the Thæmanites, Baldad sovereign of the Sauchæans, Sophar king of the Minæans.

So Job died, being old & full of days.

Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, & the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, & the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, & the carbuncle, & gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets & of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
