Dear Albert,

>While it is true, as Harold notes, that the redundancy, strictly 
>speaking, is not due to the Hebrew, it nevertheless  is occasioned 
>by the Hebrew. Note that quantitatively the Greek equals the Hebrew. 
>Of course, G could have used APOKRINOMAI to translate (NH, as he 
>does several times elsewhere, but that would have resulted in very 
>odd Greek.

HH: It seems that he could have used MARTUREW without the prefix 
PSEUDO-. MARTUREW occurs regularly in the LXX with the meaning of 
testify or witness.

				Yours,
				Harold Holmyard
