Excerpt from The Variations Between the Hebrew and Greek Texts of Joshua: Chapters 1 12
The attempt is here made to explain the variations between the Hebrew and Greek texts of Joshua 1-12. Both have suffered largely from similar causes, and the recognition and elimination _of faults will enable us to recover the Hebrew text as it existed at the time the Greek translation was made. The section treated is complete in itself. Jos. Serves essentially as an introduction to this section. The historical content is a unit. Chapter 12 is the summary. The Hebrew and the Greek texts vary widely. Aside from the changes which may be attributed to the usual corruption of a text and to the weakness of any translation, there are words and phrases in the Greek which do not appear in the Hebrew; there is a curious juggling of grammatical person and number, sometimes without apparent consistency; and there are many words and phrases, even verses which appear in the Hebrew and are absent from the Greek.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book excavates the differences between the Hebrew and Greek texts of the book of Joshua, chapters 1 to 12. Variants between the two ancient versions reveal textual evolution, traces of revision, and additions, which not only cast light on the reception of the Hebrew text by the early translators, but also on the literary and textual history of this important biblical book. The author argues that the Greek can be seen as an intelligent translation, but that it also contains traces of a number of expansions, glosses, and textual revisions, which were prompted by its translators' desire to clarify the text, to fill out formulae, and to smooth over some of the rough edges of the Hebrew text. This analysis of variants and glosses prompts a reassessment of the character of the Greek text, and a reassessment of the complex textual history of the book of Joshua.
