The usual translation of the final phrase of Psalm 40:7 is
"burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not ask for" or
something better in English than this. However, there are
some linguistic questions that put a little doubt on that
translation.
First, I noticed that X+)H has a different meaning in all
other of its uses. While this could be a typo (copiest
error) for X+)T, in which case it would fit, the usual
meaning for X+)H is, in theological terms, "sinfulness".
Secondly, (WLH is found in Tanakh from two different
roots: one from (WL [hard waw] meaning injustice,
often in the judicial sense; the other from (LH as a
varient spelling for burnt offering.
Hence the phrase could read "you have not asked for
injustice and sinfulness".
What think ye?
This is something that I just noticed, as I was looking
at something else.
