I've also heard of the Assumption of Mary, but I didn't realize that was the belief she was taken body and soul into heaven. I guess the pope just decided this in the 1950s.

They also believed she never sinned, ever. Impossible. Only God is this infallible.

To be honest, it isn’t important to me if it’s interpreted as 9, 10, 13 or 20. The text and tradition are there. Like when did the Exodus take place? It doesn’t really matter to me personally, and doesn’t change my beliefs. I just found the count interesting. There are many instances in the Bible where there are numbers. Keep in mind that if you read different Bibles, there will be different numbers. That’s because the Hebrews didn’t have numbers, they used words. Like the elders, is it 70 or 72? 40 days, is it 40 or 42? Even the amount of Israelites that fled to the dessert, up for debate. The 3000 killed when they had a massive orgy when Moses was on the mountain with God. Not actually 3000. They translated the Hebrew into Greek, and from the Greek into English. There are many instances in the Septuagint, which vary due to translation etc., but it’s the spiritual message that matters at the end of the day.

10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Isaiah 55 KJV
