Hello,
in the LXX of 2 Chron 35:26 ELPIS is used to translate CHESED. ELEOS it
seems would be a better choice, and in fact ELEOS is used in this context
elsewhere in 2 Chron. (e.g. 32:32). The only way I can account for ELPIS
in 35:26 is as a visual error. Is it common to see copyists confuse ELPIS
and ELEOS? Are there other examples?
