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
