2 Chronicles 17:4 in Peshitta
#4
2 Chronicles 17:4
But sought to the LORD God of his father,
and walked in his commandments,
and not after the doings of Israel.


Thanks Albion and Dave.
Actually I shoulda placed this in the Old Testament section.

The Tetragram here is an interesting study. It was translated into many early English Bibles (Wycliffe from Latin, and the Geneva, Bishops, King James Bible from Hebrew). And it is strangely stated by some that the source was the Greek OT (which has the Tetragram equivalent). However the Greek OT was not the OT source for the English Reformation Bibles (or the Wycliffe). So this was clearly an exceptional translation case, as we confirmed with the Peshitta. Even the Latin is a bit of a puzzle, with Wycliffe and the Douay-Rheims (no LORD) differing.

So we see that the Peshitta also supports the Tetragram and yes, it would be interesting to know of the Targum. And another research will be to check possible minority readings in the Hebrew MSS (the main texts do not have the Tetragram) which may take contacting Hebrew University any any Masorah experts. I am wondering if this is a similar situation to Psalm 22:16 where a minority Masoretic Text reading has substantial additional external support. However before doing any of that I wanted to know about the Aramaic sources.

Any help appreciated, including access to any Targumim.

Thanks.

Shalom,
Steven Avery
