Biblical Hebrew Forum

Peter:

Even if assuming that Randall Buth is correct on Greek 
pronunciation, the pronunciations preserved in the LXX, 
New Testament (genealogies in Matthew and Luke, as 
well as transliterated names), Josephus and possibly 
others, not only disagree with each other, but all of them 
with the Masoretes. The New Testament, particularly in 
the Byzantine tradition, even shows regional differences 
in its transliterations. Did you not see the chart that Dr. 
Hoffman provided for us? I found it interesting.
