The other is a misprint appearing in Deuteronomy 5: the word "greatness" appearing as "great-asse", leading to a sentence reading: "Behold, the Lord our God hath shewed us his glory and his great-asse".

I love these sorts of things. There's a whole bit in the novel of Good Omens that riffs on these 'bad' Bibles
