Atheists say the bible has been messed about with to tidy it up and make it look good, then in their next breath they say it's full of contradictions.
So why have the contradictions been left in?
A combination of sub-par editors, fealty to competing faith traditions, a dearth of otherwise suitable source material, the functional or effective illiteracy of it's adherents, and a desire to maintain the appearance of credibility........all combined with abject ignorance...and just a scoche...... of common human laziness.

One -can-, if one is so inclined, buy a modern language heavily redacted version of the "word of god". Most don't, ofc...because it's more truthy if they can imagine that it was written on a cave wall somewhere - contents be damned. This isn't exactly a new trend itself. I'd suggest that it doesn't take off like it should because people trawling for magic books are looking more for affirmation than confirmation.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
