From 7e02c5e38739841c6967d9837ab5ae8c4f06aceb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: hmw3 Date: Thu, 25 Aug 2016 08:49:45 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Ezk 3:2 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The הזאת is problematic: "he fed me this scroll," which is what it looks like at first blush, is awkward English, and probably awkward, period, hence its absence in LXX. I’ve followed Keil and Delitzsch (http://biblehub.com/commentaries/kad/ezekiel/3.htm) in having it refer to the scroll just mentioned, i.e., "that." Textbook Hebrew would demand הוא, but I thought it better to note the presence of a demonstrative of some sort than just to leave out the word, as do NIV, NLT, NET, and NRSV. --- 26-EZK/03.usfm | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/26-EZK/03.usfm b/26-EZK/03.usfm index 8ec6215e..72840da0 100644 --- a/26-EZK/03.usfm +++ b/26-EZK/03.usfm @@ -3,7 +3,7 @@ \c 3 \p \v 1 He said to me, "Son of man, what you have found, eat!
