For example, in Genesis, the biblical account of creation, the word "Elohim" has been mistranslated as "God" in the singular, but it is a plural, which means "those who came from the sky".
Another cute little example is that of the "Virgin Mary"

The early manuscripts referred to Mary as Amah.. which could mean young woman, maiden, servant or nanny.. but not virgin..
