Bible Note: 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 |
