Shlama Akhi Otto,
The presence of the Lamed Proclitic ("unto") before the noun "men" (actually, the idiomatic "sons of men") indicates that it is they that are to receive "Good Hope." (As the first Lamed Proclitic in this sentence indicates that it is "God" who is to receive the "Glory.")
[font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]04n0 Ynbl 0b= 0rbsw 0ml4 09r0 L9w 0mwrmb 0hl0l Fxwb4t[/font]
If the Greek translator's eyes played tricks on him, and he thought he saw:
[font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]04n0 Ynb 0b=l 0rbsw 0ml4 09r0 L9w 0mwrmb 0hl0l Fxwb4t[/font]
I can see him make that type of error. Notice the shifting of the Lamed Proclitic to the previous word renders a completely different reading. If there is indeed a variance in how Greek manuscripts read in this verse, then you may have hit upon something significant.
