Best Answer

The Bible has been changed by men to support their beliefs over time. A good article showing differences in biblical texts and their relationship to religious traditions is linked below under "New Testament Concept of Atonement". An excerpt is given below: W.H. Brownlee, 'The Servant of the Lord in the Qumran Scrolls', BASOR 132 (1953), pp. 8-15 (11). The variant is found in 1QIsaa 52.14, which may be translated 'As many were astonished at you-I so anointed (ytx#$m) his appear-ance beyond anyone (else), and his form beyond that of (other) sons of men.' The difference between ytx#$m in 1QIsaa 52.14 and txf#$;mi in the MT is only one consonant. As suggested by Brownlee, the variant reading cannot be correct since it is not suited to the context; rather, it is a pun upon the word txf#$;mi ('marred'), which was made for the purpose of interpretation by adding a single Hebrew letter yod (y). This is the clearest case of alteration for the purpose of giving the Servant a messianic interpretation.

How do the Egyptian and Babylonian cultures of biblical times help us to understand the biblical text?

Archaeological finds since the nineteenth century have provided us with an insight into the cultures and religious beliefs of the nations around ancient Israel. By studying these, we learn of ancient myths about the creation of the world, the great flood of Utnapishtim and many other beliefs similar to the biblical stories. From these ancient beliefs, biblical scholars believe they can learn the origins and evolution of the earliest biblical stories.
