Then you have the Mark of the Beast and it's translation 666. The Hebrew Numerical was a system based off of the alphabet. There is no notation for zero, and the numeric values for individual letters are added together. Each unit is assigned a separate letter, each tens a separate letter, and the first four hundreds a separate letter. After that you started adding up other previous letters. In Greek Nero Caesar is translated to Neron, "nrwn qsr" or 50 + 200 + 6 + 50 + 100 + 60 + 200 = 666. In Latin Nero Caesar is translated to Nero, "nrw qsr" or 50 + 200 + 6 + 100 + 60 + 200 = 616. The oldest surviving physical copy of the New Testament The Oxyrhynchus Papyri at Oxford University says 616 not 666. Sure. I did just say that but I agree. As a side note I was asked by the Sunday School Teacher and the Preacher not to bring up points like this in class when I was a kid. They took me aside and told me that the Bible's Meaning and Translation was not to be questioned by a child.
