Excellent links, Redlemon and Shanifaye
Discrepancies in the Bible are everywhere. The first few chapters of Genesis are full of them. The Nicene Creed says "On the third day he rose again..." and that could mean literally that Sunday was the third day of the death event. Three days was the number of days Jesus said it would take to destoy and rebuild the temple in Jerusalem, which is a direct metaphor for resurection, echoed again from the Old Testament. Numbers have holy significance that is historical, three, and forty, and others, as Lebell also mentioned.
None of the discrepancies bother me. To me that's not seeing the forest for the trees.
