The Masoretic text had <\/span>\u05d5\u05b7\u05bd\u05d9\u05d4\u05b9\u05d5\u05b8\u05a3\u05d4<\/a><\/span> (Y\u1d4ah\u014dv\u00e2<\/i>) here. It was not corroborated in the Septuagint with \u03ba\u03cd\u03c1\u03b9\u03bf\u03c2<\/a>. Though deciphering the manuscript is difficult for me, I think the Dead Sea Scroll version of Isaiah<\/a> has \u05d5\u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4<\/a><\/span> (Y\u1d4ah\u014dv\u00e2<\/i>) here. At least I’m reasonably convinced it is not \u05d0\u05dc\u05d4\u05d9\u05dd<\/a><\/span> (‘\u0115l\u014dh\u00eem<\/i>).<\/p>\n

So far I haven’t convinced myself that <\/span>\u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05d9\u05b8\u05d3\u05a5\u05d5\u05b9<\/a><\/span> (y\u0101\u1e0f<\/i>) was the word or even the concept the rabbis translated with \u1f00\u03c6\u03b5\u03bb\u03b5\u1fd6\u03bd<\/a> (a form of \u1f00\u03c6\u03b1\u03b9\u03c1\u03ad\u03c9<\/a>). The word \u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05d9\u05b8\u05d3\u05a5\u05d5\u05b9<\/a><\/span>\u00a0(y\u0101\u1e0f<\/i>) does seem to be in the Isaiah scroll<\/a> of the Dead Sea scrolls<\/a>. With a presumed date of 125 BCE (the modern designation for Before Christ, BC) this is not a simple matter of Masoretes altering the text after rejecting Jesus as Messiah.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve belabored this point because I actually like the idea that the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in<\/i> [Jesus’] hand<\/i>. I appreciate the succinctness of this statement in the Masoretic text. And I’m not prepared to give it up without a fight. But I also appreciate the time capsule effect of the Septuagint, a glimpse into the rabbis’ understanding of biblical Hebrew before they rejected Jesus as Messiah, a cataclysm as devastating to Israel’s intellectual history as the worldwide flood was to antediluvian geography.<\/span><\/p>\n

Who buried the Dead Sea scrolls?2<\/sup><\/a> Were they archivists preserving revered sacred texts for posterity? Or were they disposing of flawed texts in the only manner they thought worthy of disposing of a flawed text which also contained the Name<\/a> <\/span>\u05d9\u05b0\u05d4\u05b9\u05d5\u05b8\u05d4<\/a><\/span> (Y\u1d4ah\u014dv\u00e2<\/i>)? Though I think the latter explanation is more plausible, it doesn’t help me to know what they thought was flawed about the text. Nor does it help me to pick a side or choose a dog in this hunt<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

I came across the following on Christian History for Everyman<\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n

Rumor has it that the Dead Sea Scrolls contained a copy of Isaiah exactly matching the Isaiah found in our modern Bibles…It’s true that there was a report in 1947 that the Qumran…text of Isaiah matched the Masoretic text. It was retracted, however, in 1948…The scroll of Isaiah found at Qumran is a third text-type, matching neither the Septuagint (LXX) nor the Masoretic text.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Among the Qumran texts was a scroll of Jeremiah. This is very significant because the LXX version of Jeremiah is seven chapters shorter than the Masoretic, and what remains is in a different order!<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The Dead Sea Scrolls backs up the LXX version, not our Masoretic Bibles.3<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mr. Pavao, the webmaster of Christian History for Everyman, cited The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia as his source for this information. I couldn’t confirm that online. I did find the following in \u201cThe Qumr\u0101n texts and other scrolls<\/a>\u201d in Britannica<\/a> online:<\/span><\/p>\n

The most important manuscripts from what is now identified as Cave 1 of Qumr\u0101n are a practically complete Isaiah scroll (1QIsaa), dated about 100\u201375 BCE, and another very fragmentary manuscript (1QIsab) of the same book. The first contains many variants from the Masoretic text in both orthography and text, and the second is very close to the Masoretic type and contains few genuine variants.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Another line in the same article was intriguing: \u201cSeveral texts in the paleo-Hebrew script show that this script continued to be used side by side with the Aramaic script for a long time.\u201d4<\/sup><\/a> Here is an opportunity to find causes of textural variation I haven’t even begun to consider. First, however, I have many other examples of forms of \u1f00\u03c6\u03b1\u03b9\u03c1\u03ad\u03c9<\/a> in Isaiah in the Septuagint to consider, mostly to keep all the data in one place, I suspect.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
