Randall, this is the common wisdom, and I don't doubt it for a moment, but
would you mind citing examples from biblical Hebrew which use this example?
I'd be interested in seeing how the LXX translates them.
Thanks, no hurry, just curiosity.>
RB:
Here are a few, generated by ish ish Hb: 'man, man'
Ex 36.4, idiomatic Greek
Lev 15:2 ANDRI ANDRI
Lev 17:3, 8, 10, 13, ANQRWPOS ANQRWPOS
Lev 18:6 ANQRWPOS ANQRWPOS
Lev 20:9, 22:4, idiomatic
Lev 22:18 ANQRWPOS ANQRWPOS
Lev 24:15 idiomatic
Num 1:4, 44, 4:19, idiomatic
Num 4:49 ANDRA KAT ANDRA
and I'm tired, but would be happy to see a fuller list. It is always
fun to watch translation styles weave in and out of literal and more
natural and to speculate where this was the same author and where
different authors. I would not necessarily attribute Lev 20 and 22 to
a different author, occasionally translators hurdle the bar, where
they otherwise don't bother.
And you are invited to the SYMPOSION, don't forget.
