The reading of kl )lhym in 4QDeut[q] is as clear as day (DJD 14, p. 141 - cf
plate 44).


I'm glad to hear it.

No other biblical Qumran text seems to preserve Deut 32,43, nor does it
(going by Dave Washburn's index) seem to be quoted in any nonbiblical text.

The BHS lumps together LXX, Qumran and the epistle to the Hebrews in one note, saying that these sources add the
equivalent of "wehishtachawu lo (kol) 'elohim" (thus 4QDeut[j]) or "... beney 'el" (thus LXX and,
changing "huioi" to "angelloi", also Hebrews)


Thank you. I understand better what BHS is saying, but it does confuse by back-translating LXX into Hebrew here against its normal practice of quoting the Greek.

pardon the amateurish transcription
