Re: Philippians 2:5-11 in P46 and Codex Sinaiticus

Hi sestir, I more understand it based on the usage of ΚΣ as it is used in the NT itself, and how it pertains to referring to Yahweh as a placement for His name. It's also based on the Septuagint, which in later manuscripts (earlier ones just substituted יהוה in Paleo-Hebrew) the nomen sacrum ΚΣ stoo...

Philippians 2:5-11 in P46 and Codex Sinaiticus

One of the most controversial passages in the whole of the New Testament is what Paul has to say in Philippians 2:5-11, in which he talks of the Messiah, Yahushua, as existing of the "form" of God, but taking on the "form" of a slave, in the "likeness" of a human being....

Re: THE LANGUAGE OF GE'EZ

Don't know whether it predates it (likely not), but probably contemporary.

Like Latin for the Roman Catholics, Ge'ez is only spoken as part of the Liturgical language of the Ethiopian Churches.

Re: Dead Sea Scrolls

Hi aminah, You need to look on the LLDSSDL for the images labeled fragments 3-8 for 4Q47. The following image is of Columns 1-2 of fragment 3 - the start of the second column is where Joshua 6:5 starts - http://www.deadseascrolls.org.il/explore-the-archive/image/B-498970 Edit: The other two images y...

Re: Book of Chronicles — what is it actually?

Interesting speculation, but there are over 30 instances of אדניו in scripture that refer to "his master" and not "his master s " - Gen 24:9, 10 (x2), 39:2, 3, 7, 8, 16, 19, 40:7; Exod 21:4, 6 (x2); Deut 23:16 (x2)... etc., etc. I could only find one instance that actually follow...

Re: Book of Chronicles — what is it actually?

If I understand you right, since textual criticism can take us back to just around when LXX was made (~200BC) and since my hypothesis is about what happened to the text around 450 BC, too much would have happened in between to make the hypothesis interesting or falsifiable. More or less. However I ...

Re: Book of Chronicles — what is it actually?

Well before the question of whether Chronicles should be considered "Canon" can be assessed in full, one needs to determine what the original version of Samuel-Kings was: as there're more than a few differences between the Greek Septuagint Samuel-Kings and that of the Masoretic Hebrew Samu...

Excellent stuff there, sestir. Easy to read, with helpful notes for everyone.

Works rather well on a page in that format :)

You going to be doing the rest of the manuscript?

Okay - finally had time to look at this. I think we're looking at it reading: p967_est2_12.jpg αλειφομεναι εν ?? σμυρινω ελαιω I'm basing this on the combination of σ+μ seen in Esther 2:3 on the previous page: p967_est2_3.jpg Due to the mark between εν ?? σμυρινω, I'm not sure what the letter is bef...

But this again highlights what I mean regarding the above in Galatians: it isn't following the common way Paul (and others) said and wrote things. Why this hasn't caused scholars ...
