Dear tdc, Please note that neither ancient Greek nor ancient Hebrew had punctuation. Even the space between words is a modern invention. In Him, Doc |

Thank you, Doc, for catching my error. I over-zealously paraphrased the following sentence from the Wikipedia entry for Septuagint: "The readily apparent semantic differences result from alternative strategies for interpreting the difficult verse and relate to differences in vowelization and punctuation of the consonantal text." Obviously, the editors "punctuate" our texts today, but you are quite correct in pointing out that the ancient texts had no punctuation marks. Thanks again for making this clarification! In Christ, tdc |

Hi, tdc... They got the "vowelization" wrong, too. Vowels weren't introduced into Hebrew until the 13th century. :-) In Him, Doc |
