Document Details : Title: Words with the Stem ἀσεβ- in the Septuagint Translation of Deuteronomy Author(s): PAVELČÍK, Július Journal: Journal of Septuagint and Cognate Studies Volume: 57 Date: 2024 Pages: 59-71 DOI: 10.2143/JSCS.57.0.3294334 Abstract : This article focuses on the specific meaning of the ἀσεβ- words and their function in the Septuagint of Deuteronomy. It analyses both their inner-contextual relations and the relations of the Greek terms to their Hebrew counterparts to discover how the ἀσεβ-equivalents modify the meaning of the Hebrew words and what new networks of semantic relations appear within the Greek text as a result. A tendency can be traced in the Greek translation whereby the ἀσεβ- words place greater emphasis on the theological dimension of the actions already included in the corresponding Hebrew words, highlighting a certain immediate relationship either directly to God or to an institution endowed with divine authority. |
