Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book excavates the differences between the Hebrew and Greek texts of the book of Joshua, chapters 1 to 12. Variants between the two ancient versions reveal textual evolution, traces of revision, and additions, which not only cast light on the reception of the Hebrew text by the early translators, but also on the literary and textual history of this important biblical book. The author argues that the Greek can be seen as an intelligent translation, but that it also contains traces of a number of expansions, glosses, and textual revisions, which were prompted by its translators' desire to clarify the text, to fill out formulae, and to smooth over some of the rough edges of the Hebrew text. This analysis of variants and glosses prompts a reassessment of the character of the Greek text, and a reassessment of the complex textual history of the book of Joshua.
