Mistakes in the English Standard Version?



Can you match the bible verse with the pictures above?

I hope you all are doing well, everyone. 2001 was when this translation was published, it is a word for word translation. As we are nearing the end of the Bible Version Expose' (all that's left is to published the Message review,) I've decided to go ahead and color these verses like most others.  KJV will be in blue and ESV in Red. How many verses are we going to cover? Somewhere around fifty or so. I do hope ya'll enjoy.

Gen 10:8  And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. 
Gen 10:8 "...first on earth to be a mighty..." (ESV)
This passage contradicts Gen 6:4

Gen 17:19  And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him. 
Gen 17:19 "God said, "No, but Sarah...'"(ESV)
This version seems to have God contradicting himself concerning Ishmael (see Gen 17:20). 

Gen 20:16  And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved. 
Gen 20:16 changed reproved to "vindicated"(ESV)
These have opposite meanings.

Gen 49:10  The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. 
Gen 49:10 changed Shiloh to "tribute"(ESV)
Some Christians believe Shiloh is a reference to Christ.

Num 23:21  He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them. 
Num 23:21 changed iniquity and perverseness to "misfortune" and "trouble"(ESV)
This is switching something that is wicked with the results of wickedness.

Jdg 4:18  And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said unto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in unto her into the tent, she covered him with a mantle. 
Jdg 4:18 changes mantle to "...rug."(ESV)

Jdg 5:30  Have they not sped? have they not divided the prey; to every man a damsel or two; to Sisera a prey of divers colours, a prey of divers colours of needlework, of divers colours of needlework on both sides, meet for the necks of them that take the spoil? 
Jdg 5:30 "...A womb or two for every man;..." (ESV)
A woman is more than just a womb.
