> Dear friends,
>
>  I had a question regarding Prov 30:4 which reads "...what is his name, 
> and what is his son's name...."(KJV)
> The MT has 'BEN' for "son" in the singular whereas the LXX has "hUIOOI" (I
> believe this is how it is spelled, I don't have the text before me), "sons"
> in the plural. Any ideas as to why the LXX uses the plural in Greek while
> the Hebrew MT uses the singular "son"? Many thanks.
