Isaiah 2:6b and the Bible of Justin Martyr
Vetus Testamentum. 2024. Vol. 74. No. 3. P. 455–463.
It has long been recognized that the syntactically incorrect phrase in the MT of Isa 2:6b (כִּי מָלְאוּ מִקֶּדֶם וְעֹנְנִים כַּפְּלִשְׁתִּים “for they are full from the east and soothsayers like the Philistines”) suffers from a textual error involving the omission of a word. According to the commonly accepted conjecture, a derivative of the root קסם must be reconstructed, which, being graphically similar to מִקֶּדֶם, may have been dropped out due to haplography. Contrary to previous research that viewed Justin’s version of the verse (ὅτι ἐπλήσθη ἡ χώρα αὐτῶν, ὡς τὸ ἀπ’ ἀρχῆς, μαντειῶν καὶ κληδονισμῶν, Dial. 135.6.5) as a reflection of inner-Greek development, I argue that it may provide support for the emendation, being the only surviving witness to the original Hebrew text of Isa 2:6b.

This article offers a theoretically nuanced and empirically grounded investigation into the paradoxical afterlife of classical versification within the poetic practices of the Russian and Soviet avant-garde. Challenging the persistent historiographic narrative that equates avant-garde poetics with an unequivocal rupture from tradition, the study demonstrates that canonical metrical forms—most notably iambic tetrameter—continued to operate as ...

This article repositions Burrows’s Delta as a flexible family of distance measures for exploratory and unsupervised stylometry, where interpretability and stability are as important as predictive accuracy. We introduce two probabilistic extensions, Rank-Turbulence Delta and Jensen–Shannon Delta, by reinterpreting uncentred standardized word-frequency vectors as non-negative representations that can be normalized into probability distributions and compared ...

It has long been recognised that the LXX and Targumim share common exegesis of a number of verses and words. In contrast to the hypothesis of a direct influence of the early forms of Targumim on the LXX, I believe that these versions rather reflect a common approach to the interpretation of biblical texts, as ...

In the LXX-Psalter, in about 80% of cases, the choice between past, present, and future/non-indicative (in the present paper we consider future tense and non-indicative moods together) was predetermined by the tenses of the original. As for the remaining 20%, some of these “abnormal” renderings can be explained as inheriting the tense value from the ...

In the Septuagint, the word “law” (in the singular) always refers to the Law of God. The singular is semantically loaded: the Law is one, just as there is one God and one Temple.

Differently from the Hebrew original, the Greek text of Jeremiah speaks here not about the Torah of Moses, but rather ...
