the word "dord" appeared in dictionaries for a while, defined as "density". In fact the original text had just meant to say that density could be abbreviated to either a capital or lower case "d" - that is, "D or d". The word didn't exist. Jane Austen in Emma wrote about apple blossom in June (even though her family pointed out to her that she'd got the wrong month).
The thing is, when people write things down, they sometimes get it wrong. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Yes when people write things down they sometimes get it wrong.
Sometimes though they make it up
You might find it interesting to discover that the codex sinaiticus the oldest existing bible. In this the Gospel of Mark stops at the empty tomb. That's it no resurection nothing else zip.
Similar in other early copies of Mark
So where did the rest of the text in today's bible come from?
It also contains thousands of modifications in the original text. for example in the begining of Mark where we now have Jesus described as the Son of God at the very begining 1:1 that phase is omitted. - Who put that in?
There are some 14,000 corrections in this text - many more than just simple mistakes by professional scribes.
What you're looking at is an editors copy - people agreeing on what was in and what was out.
Anybody who thinks that Gospels were the result of an apostle like Mark sitting down at a desk and writing down what he'd experienced needs to take a serious look at that document

Not contradictions but all the passages they don't want to talk about

Hi Jake, I presume that you watched the TV programme about early bibles, fascinating stuff, it confirmed a lot of my previously unsupported assumptions. Just think.. If a committee got together to write a definitive account of something that happened 300 years ago ie. 100 years before the battle of trafalgar. All based on hearsay and a few scraps of parchment what a fascinating load of bollacks it would be.
Yes, I knew about Sinaiticus before - they rather skipped over how it found it's way out of St. Catherines monastry didn't they? still we won't go into that one!
Didn't realise exactly how much modification it had been subjected to though - very interesting.
You can also see the development of writing in it. The earliest texts are all in capitals and no spaces between words!
Amazing anyone could read them
