Dear Philip,

In cases where the LXX Vorlage clearly differs irreconcilably from the
Proto-MT which text is more accurate? And which text should be seen as
'more correct'? [1]

HH: Textual criticism is largely done on a case by case basis. There is not a general rule that always applies. The original writing was done in Hebrew and Aramaic, so that gives some precedence to the Hebrew and Aramaic sources over those in Greek.

Yours,
Harold Holmyard
