Shlama akhi Gentile,
I don't think it matters, honestly. To an atheist perhaps. The difference in "thousands" is irrelevant. These sort of small nitpicks don't disqualify biblical inerrancy since the variation is highly understandable in light of 1st century literature and reasoning. Who stopped to count the official number?
Technically Luke and Josephus record different times for Herod's death, but who cares? They both record that he died miserably.
Get my drift?
