Dear Listees,

I translate MT Habakkuk 2:4b as follows: the just shall live by HIS faith &

              LXX Habakkuk 2:4b as follows: the just shall live by MY faith.


1. Have I translated these texts correctly? &

2. if I have, is there any significant difference between these two texts?

Very many thanks,

Philip Engmann

Yes, from a literal viewpoint you've translated them correctly.
But from the point of view of sense your translation is bad.
The "mou" in the Greek has to be understood as "in/on Me": "pístis mou" =
the faith (a just has) in me.

Remark: "(en te) agape mou" in John 15:10

"If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept
my Father's commandments and abide in his love"

does not mean Jesus' love onto his disciples but his disciples' love onto
Jesus.

Heartly,
