Hi Folks,
Ok, this one is more biblical aramaic, (and some Latin and Greek) so I hope
you don't mind.
And also it can veer into the interpretive issues, however my main question
is the Ben Hayim text.
Daniel 3:25
He answered and said,
Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire,
and they have no hurt;
and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.
We likely all know that "Son of God" is often translated differently,
such as "son of the gods", due to the plural form of the Aramaic
in the Masoretic Text le-bar-elahin
(some omit le, some have ber, some have alehin)
Some other translations -- "divine being" "a god" "(that of) an angel"
(Judaica Press)
It was a little difficult to determine possible textual variations.
=====================================================
MAIN QUESTION - BEN HAYIM AND DSS
My main concern is the Ben Hayim Masoretic Text, (which is generally the same
as the first two editions of Kittels). I was wondering if that has any
variation.
And I would conjecture that the DSS has the exact same plural form as the
currently
used Masoretic texts, I was also wondering whether there is any variation at
all.
(no footnote in the DSS Bible).
