Document Details : Title: 'You Shall Observe His Heel' Subtitle: On the Use of τηρέω in Greek Genesis 3:15b Author(s): LANIER, Gregory R. Journal: Journal of Septuagint and Cognate Studies Volume: 52 Date: 2019 Pages: 63-72 DOI: 10.2143/JSCS.52.0.3287091 Abstract : This critical note examines the seemingly odd use of τηρέω to translate שוף in the second half of Genesis 3:15, which has often been neglected in discussions of this famous verse. It examines the tradeoffs navigated by the translator — chiefly, preserving lexical isomorphism or preserving meaning — as well as the appropriateness of the word chosen. |
