Hi all!

This question has more to do with Greek than with Hebrew, but I'll make it anyway...
In Mathew 18:22 we are urged to forgive seventy-seven times,
according to some versions. But the original text says "seventy times seven". The NWT footnote explains that it's been rendered like that in
harmony with Genesis 4:24.
Why is it so? Maybe a mistake translating Hebrew into Greek? Did the
writer or copyist mean "seventy times [and] seven"?

Thanks
Sergio
