The first occurrence<\/a> of the verb translated and it shall be accepted<\/i> (ESV), referring to an acceptable animal for sacrifice in Leviticus 1:4, was \u05d5\u05b0\u05e0\u05b4\u05e8\u05b0\u05e6\u05b8\u05d4, a Niphal<\/a> sequential<\/a> perfect<\/a> form of \u05e8\u05b8\u05e6\u05b8\u05d4<\/a> (r\u0101\u1e63\u00e2<\/i>). The Lord described an acceptable<\/i> offering for the priests and all the people of Israel. An acceptable<\/i> offering is male<\/a> (Leviticus 22:17-19 ESV):<\/span><\/p>\n

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, \u201cSpeak to Aaron and his sons and all the people of Israel and say to them, When any one of the house of Israel or of the sojourners in Israel presents a burnt offering as his offering, for any of their vows or freewill offerings that they offer to the Lord, if it is to be accepted for you it shall be a male without blemish, of the bulls or the sheep or the goats. <\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Hebrew noun translated if it is to be accepted for you<\/i> was \u05dc\u05b4\u05e8\u05b0\u05e6\u05b9\u05e0\u05b0\u05db\u05b6\u05dd, a 2nd<\/sup> person plural masculine form of \u05e8\u05b8\u05e6\u05d5\u05b9\u05df<\/a> (r\u0101\u1e63\u00f4n<\/i>), and \u03b4\u03b5\u03ba\u03c4\u1f70<\/a>, these shall be acceptable<\/i> (NETS) or free-will-offerings<\/i> (English Elpenor), in the Septuagint. This divergence in the English translations of the Septuagint is reflected in the English translation of the Masoretic text as well: Ye shall offer at your own will<\/i> (KJV). While the noun \u05dc\u05b4\u05e8\u05b0\u05e6\u05b9\u05e0\u05b0\u05db\u05b6\u05dd, this form of \u05e8\u05b8\u05e6\u05d5\u05b9\u05df<\/a> (r\u0101\u1e63\u00f4n<\/i>), includes will<\/i> as a potential translation\u2014\u201cpleasure, delight, favour, goodwill, acceptance, will\u201d\u2014\u03b4\u03b5\u03ba\u03c4\u1f70<\/a>, a form of \u03b4\u03b5\u03ba\u03c4\u03cc\u03c2<\/a>, does not\u2014\u201cacceptable, favourable, convenient; appropriate, convenient; received, accepted, welcomed, approved.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

A note (39<\/a>) in the NET translates \u05dc\u05b4\u05e8\u05b0\u05e6\u05b9\u05e0\u05b0\u05db\u05b6\u05dd, this form of \u05e8\u05b8\u05e6\u05d5\u05b9\u05df<\/a> (r\u0101\u1e63\u00f4n<\/i>), \u201cfor your acceptance\u201d and directs one back to Leviticus 1:3, 4 (ESV):<\/span><\/p>\n

If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he shall offer a male without blemish. He shall bring it to the entrance of the tent of meeting, that he may be accepted (\u05dc\u05b4\u05e8\u05b0\u05e6\u05b9\u05e0\u05d5\u05b9, another form of \u05e8\u05b8\u05e6\u05d5\u05b9\u05df<\/a>, <\/em>r\u0101\u1e63\u00f4n; Septuagint: \u03b4\u03b5\u03ba\u03c4\u1f78\u03bd<\/a>)<\/em> before the Lord [Table<\/a>]<\/em>. He shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it shall be accepted (\u05d5\u05b0\u05e0\u05b4\u05e8\u05b0\u05e6\u05b8\u05d4, a form of \u05e8\u05b8\u05e6\u05b8\u05d4<\/a>, <\/em>r\u0101\u1e63\u00e2; Septuagint: \u03b4\u03b5\u03ba\u03c4\u1f78\u03bd<\/a>)<\/em> for him to make atonement for him [Table<\/a>].<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here the noun \u05dc\u05b4\u05e8\u05b0\u05e6\u05b9\u05e0\u05d5\u05b9, this form of \u05e8\u05b8\u05e6\u05d5\u05b9\u05df<\/a>\u00a0(r\u0101\u1e63\u00f4n<\/i>), was immediately related to the verb \u05d5\u05b0\u05e0\u05b4\u05e8\u05b0\u05e6\u05b8\u05d4, this form of \u05e8\u05b8\u05e6\u05b8\u05d4<\/a>\u00a0(r\u0101\u1e63\u00e2<\/i>). And here again, the noun was translated of his own voluntary will<\/i> in the KJV. But in the Septuagint \u03b4\u03b5\u03ba\u03c4\u1f78\u03bd<\/a>, another form of \u03b4\u03b5\u03ba\u03c4\u03cc\u03c2<\/a>, was translated acceptable<\/i> (NETS) and as acceptable<\/i> (English Elpenor) [Table<\/a>]. <\/span><\/p>\n

An acceptable<\/i> offering must be perfect<\/a><\/i> (Leviticus 22:20, 21a ESV). <\/span><\/p>\n

You shall not offer anything that has a blemish, for it will not be acceptable (\u05dc\u05b0\u05e8\u05b8\u05e6\u05d5\u05b9\u05df, another form of \u05e8\u05b8\u05e6\u05d5\u05b9\u05df<\/a>, <\/em>r\u0101\u1e63\u00f4n; Septuagint: \u03b4\u03b5\u03ba\u03c4\u1f78\u03bd<\/a>)<\/em> for you. And when anyone offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to the Lord to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering from the herd or from the flock, to be accepted (\u05dc\u05b0\u05e8\u05b8\u05e6\u05d5\u05b9\u05df, another form of \u05e8\u05b8\u05e6\u05d5\u05b9\u05df<\/a>, <\/em>r\u0101\u1e63\u00f4n; BLB Septuagint: \u03b5\u1f30\u03c2<\/a> \u03b4\u03b5\u03ba\u03c4\u1f78\u03bd<\/a>; Elpenor Septuagint: \u03b5\u1f30\u03c3\u03b4\u03b5\u03ba\u03c4\u1f79\u03bd<\/a>)<\/em> it must be perfect…<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Hebrew adjective translated perfect<\/i> was \u05ea\u05bc\u05b8\u05de\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd<\/a> (t\u0101m\u00eem<\/i>). Though the translation must be<\/i> leads me to expect an imperative verb of being, \u05d9\u05b4\u05d4\u05b0\u05d9\u05b6\u05d4, this form of \u05d4\u05b8\u05d9\u05b8\u05d4<\/a> (h\u0101y\u00e2<\/i>), is listed as a Qal<\/a> imperfect<\/a> verb translated \u1f14\u03c3\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9<\/a> in the Septuagint, a form of \u03b5\u1f30\u03bc\u03af<\/a> in the future tense and middle voice<\/a> and the indicative mood<\/a> (a statement of fact and a promise). <\/span><\/p>\n

The Lord defined the adjective \u05ea\u05bc\u05b8\u05de\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd<\/a> (t\u0101m\u00eem<\/i>) as it pertained to a sacrificial animal (Leviticus 22:21b-25 ESV). <\/span><\/p>\n

…there shall be no blemish in it. Animals blind or disabled or mutilated or having a discharge or an itch or scabs you shall not offer to the Lord or give them to the Lord as a food offering on the altar. You may present a bull or a lamb that has a part too long or too short for a freewill offering, but for a vow offering it cannot be accepted (\u05d9\u05b5\u05e8\u05b8\u05e6\u05b6\u05d4, a Niphal<\/a> form of \u05e8\u05b8\u05e6\u05b8\u05d4<\/a>, <\/em>r\u0101\u1e63\u00e2; Septuagint: \u03b4\u03b5\u03c7\u03b8\u1f75\u03c3\u03b5\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9<\/a>)<\/em>. Any animal that has its testicles bruised or crushed or torn or cut you shall not offer to the Lord; you shall not do it within your land, neither shall you offer as the bread of your God any such animals gotten from a foreigner. Since there is a blemish in them, because of their mutilation, they will not be accepted (\u05d9\u05b5\u05e8\u05b8\u05e6\u05d5\u05bc, a Niphal<\/a> form of \u05e8\u05b8\u05e6\u05b8\u05d4<\/a>, <\/em>r\u0101\u1e63\u00e2; Septuagint: \u03b4\u03b5\u03c7\u03b8\u1f75\u03c3\u03b5\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9<\/a>)<\/em> for you.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I notice that this perfection<\/i> was a matter of birth and preservation from mutilation by disease, accident or deliberate acts of men<\/a>. I also notice that the translators of the Septuagint took the first descriptive phrase\u2014no blemish<\/i> (\u03bc\u1ff6\u03bc\u03bf\u03c2<\/a>) in it<\/i>4<\/sup><\/a>\u2014and the last\u2014a blemish<\/i> (\u03bc\u1ff6\u03bc\u03bf\u03c2<\/a>) in them<\/i>5<\/sup><\/a>\u2014and translated \u05ea\u05bc\u05b8\u05de\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd<\/a> (t\u0101m\u00eem<\/i>), perfect<\/i> (ESV, Tanakh, KJV), as the opposite of \u03bc\u1ff6\u03bc\u03bf\u03c2<\/a>: \u1f04\u03bc\u03c9\u03bc\u03bf\u03bd<\/a>, an accusative form of \u1f04\u03bc\u03c9\u03bc\u03bf\u03c2<\/a>, without blemish<\/i> (NETS, English Elpenor). <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

It’s worth noting that the translators of the Septuagint didn’t choose \u1f14\u03c3\u03bf<\/a> or \u1f34\u03c3\u03b8\u03b9<\/a> here, present imperative forms of \u03b5\u1f30\u03bc\u03af<\/a> in the active voice<\/a>, a detail which compels me to marvel at the 3rd<\/sup> century BC rabbis or wonder if the translators of the Septuagint were 3rd<\/sup> century BC rabbis or if \u03b3\u1f77\u03bd\u03bf\u03c5<\/a> was the original word choice of 3rd<\/sup> century BC rabbis. But the KJV and The Complete Jewish Bible rendered \u05ea\u05b8\u05de\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd, this form of \u05ea\u05bc\u05b8\u05de\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd<\/a> (t\u0101m\u00eem<\/i>), perfect<\/a><\/i> here as well.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

In their translations of the adjective \u05ea\u05bc\u05b8\u05de\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd<\/a> (t\u0101m\u00eem<\/i>) the translators of The Complete Jewish Bible recognized a difference between human beings (perfect<\/i> and wholehearted<\/i>) and an animal chosen for sacrifice (unblemished<\/i>). But here, wholehearted<\/i> was a possible nod to the imperfect verb, where perfect<\/i> was their choice when the verb of being was perfect or imperative. The translators of the ESV recognized a difference between human beings (blameless<\/i>) and an animal chosen for sacrifice (perfect<\/i>), but the perfect, imperative and imperfect forms of the verb of being, if they referred to human beings, had no impact on their translation (blameless<\/i>) of forms of the adjective \u05ea\u05bc\u05b8\u05de\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd<\/a> (t\u0101m\u00eem<\/i>). <\/span><\/p>\n

The word choices the translators of The Complete Jewish Bible made were of particular interest. <\/span>They chose perfect<\/i> for two famous individuals: Noah and Abraham. They chose wholehearted<\/i> for Israel addressed with singular pronouns and verbs (which is clear in the KJV translation if one is savvy to the lingo). They also translated the imperfect verb in Deuteronomy 18:13 as if it were an imperative, Be wholehearted<\/i>. It intrigued me because of Jesus’ allusion to Deuteronomy 18:13 in the sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:48 Berean Literal Bible):<\/span><\/p>\n

You shall be perfect, therefore, as<\/a> your heavenly<\/a> Father is perfect.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I quoted the Berean Literal Bible<\/a> because there is really no question that \u1f14\u03c3\u03b5\u03c3\u03b8\u03b5<\/a>, You shall be<\/i>, is a 2nd<\/sup> person plural form of the verb \u03b5\u1f30\u03bc\u03af<\/a> in the future tense and indicative mood<\/a>. It is a statement of fact and a promise. The only real question is why so many English translations<\/a> treat \u1f14\u03c3\u03b5\u03c3\u03b8\u03b5<\/a> as if it were \u1f14\u03c3\u03c4\u03b5<\/a>, a 2nd<\/sup> person plural imperative<\/a> in the present tense.<\/span><\/p>\n

You therefore must be perfect, as<\/a> your heavenly<\/a> Father is perfect.9<\/sup><\/a><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The verb \u1f14\u03c3\u1fc3<\/a> is the 2nd<\/sup> person singular form of \u03b5\u1f30\u03bc\u03af<\/a> in the future tense, middle voice<\/a> and indicative mood<\/a>, where \u1f14\u03c3\u03b5\u03c3\u03b8\u03b5<\/a> is the plural form. The adjective \u03c4\u1f73\u03bb\u03b5\u03b9\u03bf\u03b9<\/a> is the plural form of the singular \u03c4\u1f73\u03bb\u03b5\u03b9\u03bf\u03c2<\/a>. Jesus used the 2nd<\/sup> person nominative plural pronoun \u1f51\u03bc\u03b5\u1fd6\u03c2<\/a> to accentuate that his promise was directly addressed to his hearers on the mountain. \u201cYou shall be, therefore, you perfect,\u201d is arguably an even more literal translation. <\/span>The middle voice<\/a> of the verb of being \u03b5\u1f30\u03bc\u03af<\/a> deserves some consideration: <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Greek middle voice shows the subject acting in his own interest or on his own behalf, or participating in the results of the verbal action. In overly simplistic terms, sometimes the middle form of the verb could be translated as ‘the performer of the action actually acting upon himself’ (reflexive action).\u201d10<\/sup><\/a> <\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The middle voice could mean \u201cYou shall make yourself perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.\u201d I certainly believed that was necessary,11<\/sup><\/a> though impossible without the Lord’s help<\/a>. Cooperation<\/a> with the Lord is a possible meaning of the middle voice: \u201cYou shall cooperate with the Lord to be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.\u201d But these days I’m more inclined to understand the middle voice in Matthew 5:48 as one’s participation in the results of the verbal action: \u201cYou shall be, therefore, you perfect\u201d or \u201cYou shall be, therefore, a perfect you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not be amazed that I said to you, \u2018You must all12<\/sup><\/a><\/em> be born from above.\u201913<\/sup><\/a><\/em><\/span><\/span>
\nHe was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him.

A note (53<\/a>) in the NET in Matthew 5:48 indicates that some translators may have related \u03c4\u1f73\u03bb\u03b5\u03b9\u03bf\u03b9<\/a> and \u03c4\u1f73\u03bb\u03b5\u03b9\u03bf\u03c2<\/a>, perfect<\/i> (ESV, Berean Literal Bible), to forms of \u05e7\u05b8\u05d3\u05d5\u05b9\u05e9\u05c1<\/a> (q\u0101\u1e0f\u00f4\u0161<\/i>), holy<\/i>, in Leviticus 11:44-45<\/a> and Leviticus 19:2<\/a>, rather than to \u05ea\u05bc\u05b8\u05de\u05b4\u05a3\u05d9\u05dd<\/a> (t\u0101m\u00eem<\/i>)\u2014whole-hearted<\/i>, perfect<\/i>, wholehearted<\/i>, blameless<\/i>\u2014in Deuteronomy 18:13.

So, for now I’ll satisfy myself with the most readily apparent reason for translating a future indicative verb, \u1f14\u03c3\u03b5\u03c3\u03b8\u03b5<\/a>, as if it were a present imperative:<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bible is a product intended for sale to a receptive audience\u2014a market. Most of the people I know who might purchase a Bible don’t believe that <\/span><\/span><\/em>You shall be perfect is a true statement vis-\u00e0-vis<\/a> those who heard Jesus’ that day<\/a> on the mountain. If it is not a true statement, then the Truth<\/a> would not have said it, therefore Jesus did not mean what the Greek text says He said. The fact that the Berean Literal Bible is coming to market may indicate a growing interest among English-speaking peoples in what the Greek text of the New Testament actually says<\/a>. <\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, \u201cWhen an ox or sheep or goat is born, it shall remain seven days with its mother, and from the eighth day on it shall be acceptable (\u05d9\u05b5\u05e8\u05b8\u05e6\u05b6\u05d4, a Niphal<\/a> form of \u05e8\u05b8\u05e6\u05b8\u05d4<\/a>, <\/em>r\u0101\u1e63\u00e2; Septuagint: \u03b4\u03b5\u03c7\u03b8\u1f75\u03c3\u03b5\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9<\/a>)<\/em> as a food offering to the Lord.17<\/sup><\/a><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Greek adjective \u03c4\u03ad\u03bb\u03b5\u03b9\u03bf\u03c2<\/a> can mean \u201cmature, full-grown or faultless in beliefs and practice\u201d along with \u201cperfect.\u201d To Greek-speaking peoples an eight-day-old ox or sheep or goat<\/i> would not be \u201cmature, full-grown or faultless in beliefs and practice.\u201d It could, however, be \u1f04\u03bc\u03c9\u03bc\u03bf\u03bd<\/a>, a form of \u1f04\u03bc\u03c9\u03bc\u03bf\u03c2<\/a>, without blemish<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

In summary then, Moses promised the old human (Jacob\/Israel) You shall be blameless before the Lord your God<\/i>18<\/sup><\/a> just as the One new human (Jesus) promised his hearers You shall be perfect<\/a>, therefore, as<\/a> your heavenly<\/a> Father is perfect<\/i>.19<\/sup><\/a> As Paul wrote to Timothy:\u00a0we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe<\/i>.20<\/sup><\/a> And that is really good news!<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ll pick this up in another essay: \u05e8\u05b8\u05e6\u05b8\u05d4<\/a> (r\u0101\u1e63\u00e2<\/i>) is still a rich vein to mine.<\/span><\/p>\n
