Bible Note: Dear Pastor Beja, Thank you for the immediate response. In the matter of the Greek phrase "protei sabbatou", it is not that I am conveying the idea that all the committee of translators were wrong and I alone am right. But yes, you are right in saying "we'd need great reason" for it. And that great reason is the absence of biblical basis for translating "sabbatou" into "week". In the Septuagint (LXX Septuaginta (LXT) (Old Greek Jewish Scriptures) edited by Alfred Rahlfs, Copyright © 1935 by the Württembergische Bibelanstalt / Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft (German Bible Society), Stuttgart. Used by permission), "sabbatou" was used 16 times and never was it translated into "week". (2 Chr. 23:8; Neh. 10:32; 13:15, 17, 19, 22; 2 Ma. 5:25; 8:26; Ps. 37:1; 47:1; 91:1; Isa. 66:23; Lam. 2:6) Our Lord Jesus Christ, many times in His earthly ministry, also stood alone on issues on which the greater majority believed otherwise. Thanks for the wholehearted welcome you extended me in joining this forum. dodoy |
