Liz brought up the issue of agency for qetseph. David, do you need to makeCorrectomundo!
agency explicit in your target language or can you leave it ambiguous? If
you are required to make it explicit then it becomes a
probability issue. If
we were translating Euripides, then Agamemnon offering up his daughter
Iphigenia to Artemis in exchange for fair winds to sail off to Troy would
not cause any problems but as Yigal has pointed out this isn't a probable
solution in 2Kings.
Liz no doubt will disagree with this assessment.
Liz can you give us other
examples where pagan deities are shown in the OT as responding
favorably to
human sacrifice or any other kind of sacrifice?
This isn't a rhetorical question, I really want to know.
Well..., I don't think it's relevant really.....
Just cuz one episode sneaks in, that doesn't mean there'll be more.
Uh, how about Exodus 7:11,22; 8:7???
greetings, ClayBest,
