Document Details : Title: Recensional Differences between the MT and LXX of Ezekiel Author(s): TOV, E. Journal: Ephemerides Theologicae Lovanienses Volume: 62 Issue: 1 Date: April 1986 Pages: 89-101 DOI: 10.2143/ETL.62.1.556311 Abstract : There are many differences in details between the MT and LXX of Ez. which are usually attributed to copyists of the Hebrew text or the Greek translator. Thus, in his ICC commentary, Cooke says: 'In the Hebrew Bible perhaps no book, except 1 and 2 Samuel, has suffered more injury to its text than Ezekiel'. This, I believe, is an overstatement, as many of the differences between MT and LXX were created at the level of the liteary growth of the bookn abd hence are not at all due to textual factors? In this regard the LXX of Ez. thus resembles other biblical books which have been discussed in recent years. We therefore turn to a few select issues in Ezekiel which highlight the recesional differences between its two main texts. |
