Document Details : Title: Crispations théologiques et accidents textuels dans le TM de Jérémie 2 Author(s): GOLDMAN, Yohanan A.P. Journal: Biblica Volume: 76 Issue: 1 Date: 1995 Pages: 25-52 DOI: 10.2143/BIB.76.1.3214817 Abstract : Theological considerations and textual accidents may have influenced the Masoretic text (MT) of Jeremiah 2. This article shows that the Greek version of Jeremiah should not be underestimated as a witness to the earliest available text, even where this Greek text itself witnesses to later reworking. Any conjecture in textual criticism is valid only insofar as it can explain the extant witnesses to a text, and the solutions proposed here suggest that it is possible to discern where MT has undergone modifications which have deformed the original meaning of some of the oracles. |
