Jerry,
I think you understand my perspective...however I speak more English than I understand...I've been told my first language was gobbledygook and that I spoke it right from the crib! I wonder about point number 2 though. Was the Tetragrammaton left in the script and the vowel points of אדני inserted or was יהוה replaced with אדני? Also, when did this happen? I thought that was at the time of the Masoretes around CE 900. T.

I think I understand what you're getting at now; though I may still be wrong. My responses to your three points are interspersed below.
1.) ιαω or יהוה was originally in the earliest copies of the LXX
JS: Is there any substantial,
physical, extant evidence for this? I
know there is one DSS fragment of Leviticus that uses ιαω; but this is
insufficient to draw conclusions about chronological development.
JS: As a substitute for the tetragrammaton, yes; but this is
at the point of translation, and corresponds with the practice already in place
of substituting Adonai for YHWH. But not
a substitution for ιαω.
JS: The so-called awkwardness would simply be the result of accommodation to the practice of pronouncing Adonai rather than Yahweh.
You can let me know if I've understood you correctly.
Blessings,
Jerry _______________________________________________ b-hebrew mailing list b-hebrew AT lists.ibiblio.org http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/b-hebrew |
