1 | The Massorah? | OT general | serenetime | 30679 | ||
Are you familiar with the Massorah? And do you think there's a need for it? I feel it's VERY important. The Massorah is what it's called a fencing of the original manuscripts so as to man not changing or interpreting the word differently than what was originally written. Serenetime | ||||||
2 | The Massorah? | OT general | Morant61 | 30680 | ||
Greetings Serenetime! The Massorah is an interesting feature. It appears to have been one of the earliest and first critical apparatus. However, it's value is limited for several reasons. 1) It is a relatively late addition. Most believe that the Massorah wasn't begun until almost the first century. So, it was not original to the text. 2) It is limited in effectiveness. For instance, the middle word could be the same while words around it could be changed. 3) No one text contains the entire Massorah. So, it has been pieced together from various texts. 4) It is not inspired. 5) It was only used in one text type, so it only "preserved" one possible reading. But, it is very interesting.

Tim, It is so nice to hear from you, but I feel that Your opinion is not worthy unless you can prove it. Even if the massorah was not until the first century, that their are bible translation like the amplified, and the NIV,and so on and so forth that I feel are straying Christians from the true word. Just my opinion. Serenetime | ||||||
4 | The Massorah? | OT general | Morant61 | 30748 | ||
Greetings Serenetime! How should I prove it? :-) The best I can do is to point you to a good article. Try http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/10035a.htm This is from a Catholic source, but it is an excellent article. Concerning the modern translations (like the NIV), why do you feel they are leading Christians astray? Evidence! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
