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.
