I have a problem wtih Psalm 82:1. I am going to show you these versions:
__________________________________________________
Psalm 82:1 (Hebrew) :
"Elohiym natsab edah El shaphat qereb Elohiym"
"hO QEOS ESTH EN SUNAGWGH QEWN EN MESW DE QEOUS DIAKRINEI "
KJV : "God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the
gods. "
Ireneus Against Heresies Book III ,VI :
"..."God stood in the congregation of the gods, He judges among the gods."
He [here] refers to the Father and the Son, and those who have received the
adoption...."
_________________________________________________
It is clear that LXX mistranslate the Hebrew "El " with QEWN.
I think it must be QEOU....because QEWN is agree with Elohyim in genitive
...do you agree wtih me?.
Other question is about Ireneus , He is quoting the LXX version of Psalm
82:1 ,however , his explanation correspond to Hebrew , becasue apparently he
equated Father=Elohyim and Son=EL , because it is imposible equated
"congregation of Son" with "congregation of gods".What happened with this
text??.
I think, if the LXX is in the correct way then the original Hebrew said
"Elohyim" instead "EL".
What do you think??.
Best Regards
