Section 4: Origins of Sacrifice

p2: See Topical Study page: Thanksgiving. Study note: prayer of thanksgiving and prayers of thanksgiving are each used once, at 100:5.10 and 146:2.12, respectively.

p9: Original printing reads, “5,740,352 sacks of coin.” SRT reads, “”5,740,352 sacks of corn.” SRT  Explanation, “This can only refer to sacks of grain or corn. The list of gifts to the gods in the Urantia Book here is excerpted from the Harris Papyrus I which commemorates the reign of Ramses III, and was commissioned by his son Ramses IV at the former’s death in 1172 BCE. The entries totalling 5,740,352 in the papyrus clearly refer to sacks of grain, or as sometimes translated, sacks of corn (where corn is used in its traditional sense as a generic word for various grains). This error results from mistakenly typing coin when corn was intended. Interestingly, this typographical error also appears in The Science of Society by Sumner & Keller (1927), the apparent immediate source for this passage. This error is not found in the English translation of the source referenced by Sumner & Keller: Adolf Erman’s Life in Ancient Egypt (1886).”
