Curious, in your focus on Gal. 3:8, you point out in the Greek the same word for Gentiles and nations is "ethnos" in the NT stating that the reference back in Gen. 12:3 in the LXX would also be the same.
However, when I opened the LXX to Gen. 12:3 in my LES with the reverse interlinear, it did not have "ethnos" but instead used another Greek word, "phylai". I am now confused. Is the LES wrong or does it use a different manuscript than Paul was using? Are you using a different manuscript than Lexham?
I followed the instructions given in a previous video by a member of Logos Pro Team explaining how to do this and follow along. The HB Swete Edition agrees with the LES. Is the LXX like the MT and has so many variances that you have chosen some other manuscripts than the one chosen by Lexham and Swete?
I am new to Logos and did not know where to post this or how to find out more info on why you would choose to differ with the LES and the HB Swete interlinear unless you have other manuscripts of the LXX that I would have to consult which I do not currently have access to.
Your comments can be found specifically just after 2:45 in the video "Citations: Focus on Gal. 3:8"
Since I only have a subscription to Faithlife TV, I only have access to the videos alone and not the entire class where I could use the "Ask the Author" function.
I tried the forums, then realized I might try coming here.
Is this the appropriate place to ask such a question or is there a better place to Ask the Author elsewhere when one does not have the entire course to use the Ask the Author function there?
I am just trying to understand you more clearly?
Thank you all at Faithlife for helping me to greater understand the Word of God!
- I also would like to apologize that I did not give you better reference to which video to save you time in going back to review.
- Ken, I appreciate hearing the focus of your own study on Israel and the nations in the Old Testament (into the New). I also like the big picture (storied) view of Eden to the fall, restoration beginning in Israel (however faulty) and then culminating in Jesus as Messiah (reversal of fall), with the final consummation in a renewed creation (new Eden). I know I filled in some of this in my own language, but I really resonate with your way of telling the story! Jeannine
- There are a typical sight at the front of homeroom and passage entryways in Scandia Elementary. The pails represent the adoration and fervor with which understudies get ready for school each day. While educators work to zero in on every kid's novel necessities, guardians are welcome to fill the containers with toys, books, cleanliness items and snacks to share yet presently they can visit http://training.monro.com/forum/posts/t3697-cartoon-rakhi-design to find solutions to their queries. Consistently cooperating collectively, educators then guarantee that every understudy gets an opportunity to participate in individualized advancing yet every one of them have been given some assistance along their way.
