Revelation 13:16

Καὶ ποιεῖ πάντας, τοὺς μικροὺς καὶ τοὺς μεγάλους, καὶ τοὺς πλουσίους καὶ τοὺς πτωχούς, καὶ τοὺς ἐλευθέρους καὶ τοὺς δούλους, ἵνα δώσωσιν αὐτοῖς χαράγματα ἐπὶ τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῶν τῆς δεξιᾶς, ἢ ἐπὶ τὸ μέτωπον αὐτῶν,

RBT Hebrew Literal:

And he is making all, the Little ones and the Mega ones, and the Rich ones and the Cowering ones, and the Free ones and the Slaves, so that they should give to themselves^21a a mark on the Right Hand of themselves, or upon the Brow of themselves.

A Mark of Protection

"And He Is is saying to himself, to the upright one, "Everyone has slain Spearhead. Double seven he is standing up!" And He Is is placing a sign for Spearhead to prevent everyone who finds/discovers himself, from striking his eternal self."

(Genesis 4:15 RBT)

The Eternal Self

Julia Smith Literal 1876 Translation:
And he makes all, small and great, and rich and poor, and free and servants, that he should give them a stamp upon their right hand, or upon their foreheads:

LITV Translation:
And the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the freemen and the slaves, it causes that they give to them all a mark on their right hand, or on their foreheads,

ESV Translation:

Footnotes

21a

The Greek verb δῶσιν is in the third person plural form of the aorist active subjunctive of δίδωμι (they might give). Cf. Perseus Morphology on δῶσιν.

It is a known and obvious word in the Greek manuscripts. But how was it translated?

• "to receive" NIV
• "to be given" NLT
• "causes to be marked" ESV
• "to receive" Berean Standard Bible
• "that it should give" Berean Literal Bible
• "to receive" KJV
• "to be given" NASB
• "that there be given" ASV
• "to obtain" NET Bible
• "it may give" Literal Standard Version
• "it may give" Young's Literal Translation
• "he should give" Julia Smith's Literal Translation
• "to receave" Tyndale Bible of 1526

We only found one little known translation that gave the true rendering:

"And he causes all, small and great, both rich and poor, both free and bond, that they may give them a mark on their right hand, or on their forehead:"

(The Godbey New Testament, emp. add.)

The Godbey New Testament is a translation of the New Testament by William Baxter Godbey (1833–1920), an American Methodist minister and theologian. He spent 20 years reading through the Tichendorf Greek New Testament before making his own translation. In spite of the fact of getting a great deal of the words more true to the original Greek than most translations, it still left a great many things out, and the "Holy King James Authorized Version" was still the only acceptable text of the day. The Godbey New Testament faded into obscurity, and became all but forgotten.
