Word play in aramaic and syriac

Thirdwoe Wrote:Shamasha Paul, one thing it shows me, erorr or not...is the extreme conservation that all the scribes show here, that they wouldn't fix it for all these centuries, holding the text to such a high regard. The Greek copies seem to be endlessly fixed and altered, where no two Manuscripts are seen to be alike...even down to the late 1800s with W&H's edition, which looks like no single Greek copy/text before it...and which most of the modern Greek/English tranies come from.

Shlama akhi,


this is a great point to bring up; i'm reminded of the tikkuney hasoferim of the Hebrew Tanakh, wherein the scribes would amend the text in margins where they thought necessary, but leave the actual Holy Writ alone, for fear of changing what was traditionally written. might this be a similar issue of leaving what has been handed down alone?

i am also reminded of Jephthah / Yeeftakh from the Hebrew, and how his name is rendered with a Nun instead of a Yudh in the Peshitta OT and NT = Naphtakh. the similarities between the letters are sufficient to have created a confusion at one time, obviously, yet the alteration is standardized in the Peshitta, and has not been changed.


Chayim b'Moshiach,
Jeremy
