<\/a>Old Testament quotations in the New Testament frustrated me terribly as I began to study the Bible.\u00a0 When I turned back to the passages listed in the footnotes and read the actual text, it was often significantly different.\u00a0 How could Paul and even Jesus quote the Old Testament so poorly and inaccurately?\u00a0 It was difficult for me to see how they arrived at the understanding they presented.\u00a0 And it was even more difficult for me to believe that they were correct.<\/p>\n

A table follows with quotations from Paul\u2019s sermon at Pisidian Antioch<\/a>, the NET translation of the Old Testament passage he quoted, and the New American Bible translation of the same passage.\u00a0 (I was told that the New American Bible was better regarding this issue.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Items #1-3 are not too bad in either translation.\u00a0 I\u2019d give the advantage to the New American Bible for Item #2, a man after his own heart<\/em>.\u00a0 The trouble begins in Items #4 and #5.\u00a0 Again I\u2019d give the advantage to the New American Bible on Item #4.\u00a0 In the NET translation I\u2019m not sure whether God will give the Messiah the same promises made to David or others like them.\u00a0 And in Item #5 all hell breaks loose, literally.\u00a0 Paul spoke about the Lord\u2019s Holy One not experiencing decay or corruption, but both Bible translations are about Sheol and the Pit.<\/p>\n

Here is the context for Paul\u2019s usage of these Old Testament texts (Acts 13:32-39 NET).<\/p>\n

And we proclaim to you the good news about the promise to our ancestors, that this promise God has fulfilled to us, their children, by raising Jesus, as also it is written in the second psalm, \u2018You are my Son; today I have fathered you<\/em><\/strong>.\u2019 \u00a0But regarding the fact that he has raised Jesus from the dead, never again to be in a state of decay (\u03b4\u03b9\u03b1\u03c6\u03b8\u03bf\u03c1\u1f71\u03bd<\/a>, a form of\u00a0\u03b4\u03b9\u03b1\u03c6\u03b8\u03bf\u03c1\u03ac<\/a>), <\/em>God has spoken in this way: \u2018I will give you the holy and trustworthy promises<\/em><\/strong> made to David<\/a><\/em><\/strong> (Table<\/a>)<\/em>.\u2019 \u00a0Therefore<\/a> he also says in another psalm, \u2018You will not permit your Holy One to experience<\/em><\/strong> decay <\/em><\/strong>(\u03b4\u03b9\u03b1\u03c6\u03b8\u03bf\u03c1\u1f71\u03bd) [Table<\/a>]<\/em>.\u2019 \u00a0For David<\/a>, after he had served God\u2019s purpose in his own generation, died, was buried with his ancestors, and experienced decay (\u03b4\u03b9\u03b1\u03c6\u03b8\u03bf\u03c1\u1f71\u03bd) [Table<\/a>]<\/em>, but the one whom God raised up did not experience decay (\u03b4\u03b9\u03b1\u03c6\u03b8\u03bf\u03c1\u1f71\u03bd). \u00a0<\/em>Therefore let it be known to you, brothers, that through this one forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, and by this one everyone who believes is justified from everything from which the<\/a> law of Moses<\/a> could not justify you (Table<\/a>)<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This was a rather important doctrine to be based on such inaccurate quotation of Old Testament Scripture.\u00a0 I was surprised that no one stood up in the synagogue in Pisidian Antioch to correct Paul\u2019s misquotes.\u00a0 While Item #6 is not too awful, apparently the words you scoffers<\/em> and any mention of perishing<\/em> or disappearing<\/em> wasn\u2019t in the original text.\u00a0 So I was left with the impression that Paul added the pejorative and threatening language.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Later, I learned that Paul had quoted from the Septuagint (LXX), a Greek translation of the Hebrew Scripture completed in Alexandria about 200 years before the birth of Jesus<\/a>. \u00a0Below is a table with Paul\u2019s quotation from the NET and New American Bibles, the Old Testament text in Greek from the Septuagint, and the parallel Greek text used by the translators of the NET.\u00a0 Both the Septuagint and the parallel Greek text used by the NET translators are available online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Except for accent marks Item #1 is identical in both the Septuagint and the parallel Greek text.\u00a0 In Item #2 the phrase began with \u1f04\u03bd\u03b8\u03c1\u03c9\u03c0\u03bf\u03c2 in the Septuagint and \u1f00\u03bd\u03b4\u03c1\u03b1 (a form of \u1f00\u03bd\u03ae\u03c1) in the parallel Greek text.\u00a0 Both may be translated man<\/em>.\u00a0 The phrase in the Septuagint ended with a form of \u03b1\u1f50\u03c4\u03cc\u03c2 (self<\/em>) and with \u03bc\u03bf\u1fe6 (I<\/em>, me<\/em>, my<\/em>, mine<\/em>) in the parallel Greek text.\u00a0 The rest, except for accent marks,\u00a0are identical, and a form of \u03ba\u03b1\u03c1\u03b4\u03af\u03b1<\/a> (heart<\/em>) is clearly in both.\u00a0 And finally, except for accent marks Item #3 is identical in Psalm 2:7 in the Septuagint and Acts 13:33 in the parallel Greek text.<\/p>\n

In Hebrews 8:10 NET \u03b4\u03b9\u03b1\u03b8\u03b7\u03ba\u03b7 \u03b7\u03bd \u03b4\u03b9\u03b1\u03b8\u03b7\u03c3\u03bf\u03bc\u03b1\u03b9 is translated is the covenant that I will establish<\/em>; \u03b4\u03b9\u03b1\u03b8\u03b7\u03ba\u03b7 = is the covenant<\/em>; \u03b4\u03b9\u03b1\u03b8\u03b7\u03c3\u03bf\u03bc\u03b1\u03b9 = I will establish<\/em>.\u00a0 So I am guessing that the beginning of Item #4, \u03b4\u03b9\u03b1\u03b8\u03ae\u03c3\u03bf\u03bc\u03b1\u03b9 \u1f51\u03bc\u1fd6\u03bd \u03b4\u03b9\u03b1\u03b8\u03ae\u03ba\u03b7\u03bd \u03b1\u1f30\u03ce\u03bd\u03b9\u03bf\u03bd from Isaiah 55:3 in the Septuagint means something like I will establish with you this covenant eternal<\/em> as opposed to simply \u03b4\u03c9\u03c3\u03c9 \u03c5\u03bc\u03b9\u03bd (I give you<\/em>) in the parallel Greek text of Acts 13:34.\u00a0 After that except for accent marks both are identical.<\/p>\n

Item #5 begins with two different forms of negation, but after that except for accent marks both are identical.\u00a0 The final word in both the Septuagint and the parallel Greek text is \u03b4\u03b9\u03b1\u03c6\u03b8\u03bf\u03c1\u03ac (decay<\/em>, corruption<\/em>) not \u03b2\u03cc\u03b8\u03c5\u03bd\u03bf\u03c2<\/a> (cistern<\/em>, ditch<\/em>, pit<\/em>), nor \u1f04\u03b2\u03c5\u03c3\u03c3\u03bf\u03c2<\/a> (depthless<\/em>, abyss<\/em>, deep<\/em>, bottomless<\/em>, pit<\/em>), nor \u03c6\u03c1\u03ad\u03b1\u03c1<\/a> (cistern<\/em>, well<\/em>, abyss<\/em>, prison<\/em>, pit<\/em>), nor \u03c4\u03b1\u03c1\u03c4\u03b1\u03c1\u03cc\u03c9<\/a> (abyss<\/em>, incarcerate<\/em>, hell<\/em>) [Addendum: 8\/8\/2022 \u03c4\u03ac\u03c1\u03c4\u03b1\u03c1\u03bf\u03c2<\/a>], nor \u03c4\u03ac\u03c6\u03bf\u03c2<\/a> (grave<\/em>, sepulchre<\/em>, tomb<\/em>), nor \u03bb\u03b7\u03bd\u03cc\u03c2<\/a> (trough<\/em>, vat<\/em>, winepress<\/em>), nor \u03c7\u03ac\u03c3\u03bc\u03b1<\/a> (chasm<\/em>, gulf<\/em>), nor \u03b3\u03ad\u03b5\u03bd\u03bd\u03b1<\/a> (valley of the son of Hinnom<\/em>, hell<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Item #6 displays some significant differences between the Septuagint and the parallel Greek text.\u00a0 The phrase \u03ba\u03b1\u1f76 \u1f10\u03c0\u03b9\u03b2\u03bb\u03ad\u03c8\u03b1\u03c4\u03b5 in Habakkuk 1:5 was not repeated in Acts 13:41.\u00a0 The word \u03ba\u03b1\u1f76 is a conjunction, probably and<\/em> in this case.\u00a0 The closest I could find to \u1f10\u03c0\u03b9\u03b2\u03bb\u03ad\u03c8\u03b1\u03c4\u03b5 was \u03b5\u03c0\u03b9\u03b2\u03bb\u03b5\u03c8\u03b7\u03c4\u03b5 in James 2:3 (NET), which was translated do you pay attention<\/em>.\u00a0 So I assume the text of Habakkuk contained not only the word look<\/em> (\u1f34\u03b4\u03b5\u03c4\u03b5) but followed with and pay attention <\/em>(\u03ba\u03b1\u1f76 \u1f10\u03c0\u03b9\u03b2\u03bb\u03ad\u03c8\u03b1\u03c4\u03b5). \u00a0[Addendum<\/strong> 08\/30\/2019: \u1f10\u03c0\u03b9\u03b2\u03bb\u1f73\u03c8\u03b1\u03c4\u03b5<\/a> is the Aorist Active Imperative 2nd Person Plural form of \u1f10\u03c0\u03b9\u03b2\u03bb\u03ad\u03c0\u03c9<\/a>]\u00a0 Next, where the parallel Greek text reads \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9 \u03b8\u03b1\u03c5\u03bc\u03b1\u03c3\u03b1\u03c4\u03b5 the Septuagint had \u03ba\u03b1\u1f76 \u03b8\u03b1\u03c5\u03bc\u03ac\u03c3\u03b1\u03c4\u03b5 \u03b8\u03b1\u03c5\u03bc\u03ac\u03c3\u03b9\u03b1.\u00a0 I found \u03b8\u03b1\u03c5\u03bc\u03b1\u03c3\u03b9\u03b1 in Matthew 21:15 (NET) translated the wonderful<\/em>. \u00a0So my assumption is that \u03b8\u03b1\u03c5\u03bc\u03b1\u03c3\u03b9\u03b1 modifies \u03b8\u03b1\u03c5\u03bc\u03ac\u03c3\u03b1\u03c4\u03b5.\u00a0 Paul said and be amazed<\/em> (\u03ba\u03b1\u03b9 \u03b8\u03b1\u03c5\u03bc\u03b1\u03c3\u03b1\u03c4\u03b5) where the Septuagint said something like and be wonderfully amazed<\/em> (\u03ba\u03b1\u1f76 \u03b8\u03b1\u03c5\u03bc\u03ac\u03c3\u03b1\u03c4\u03b5 \u03b8\u03b1\u03c5\u03bc\u03ac\u03c3\u03b9\u03b1) or perhaps, and be amazed by miracles<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The second clause was joined by \u03b4\u03b9\u03cc\u03c4\u03b9 (on<\/em> the<\/em> very<\/em> account<\/em> that<\/em>, or inasmuch<\/em> as<\/em>) in the Septuagint and \u03bf\u03c4\u03b9 (because<\/em>, translated for<\/em>) in the parallel Greek text.\u00a0 (I suspect it has something to do with language construction since \u03b5\u03c1\u03b3\u03bf\u03bd (a work<\/em>) was repeated at the beginning of the next clause in the parallel Greek text and not in the Septuagint.)\u00a0 In the Septuagint \u1f14\u03c1\u03b3\u03bf\u03bd \u1f10\u03b3\u1f7c \u1f10\u03c1\u03b3\u03ac\u03b6\u03bf\u03bc\u03b1\u03b9 (a work I am doing<\/em>) follows the conjunction \u03b4\u03b9\u03cc\u03c4\u03b9.\u00a0 In the parallel Greek text \u03b5\u03c1\u03b3\u03bf\u03bd \u03b5\u03c1\u03b3\u03b1\u03b6\u03bf\u03bc\u03b1\u03b9 \u03b5\u03b3\u03c9 (a work am doing I<\/em>) follows the conjunction \u03bf\u03c4\u03b9.\u00a0 The latter is clumsy in English but I don\u2019t think word order has the same significance in Greek.\u00a0 Finally the parallel Greek text ended with a more definitive \u03b5\u03ba\u03b4\u03b9\u03b7\u03b3\u03b7\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9 \u03c5\u03bc\u03b9\u03bd (tells you<\/em>) while the Septuagint ended \u1f10\u03ba\u03b4\u03b9\u03b7\u03b3\u1fc6\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9 (probably something like, tells of it<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Compared to the other quotations I\u2019ve looked at these differences are significant (and I can\u2019t explain them) but not substantial.\u00a0 What is important to me is that \u03bf\u1f31 \u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1\u03c6\u03c1\u03bf\u03bd\u03b7\u03c4\u03b1\u03af (you scoffers<\/em>) and \u03ba\u03b1\u1f76 \u1f00\u03c6\u03b1\u03bd\u03af\u03c3\u03b8\u03b7\u03c4\u03b5 (and perish <\/em>or and disappear<\/em>) occur in both.\u00a0 Paul was not as bad at quoting Old Testament scripture as I at first thought.\u00a0 In fact, this whole exercise leads me to believe that the Septuagint is like a snapshot of at least Diaspora Jewish thinking on the Bible when their Messianic hopes were still vital.<\/p>\n

I suspect that no one interrupted or corrected Paul in the synagogue in Pisidian Antioch because they all used the Septuagint, or had not yet gotten word from the religious authorities that the Hebrew language no longer meant what it meant when the Septuagint was translated.\u00a0 Bible scholars and translators today (and apparently since Jerome in the fifth century) prefer the Hebrew text.\u00a0 I doubt a tradition with that longevity is going to change any time soon.\u00a0 But as I said before all of these resources are online.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know Greek either, but with a concordance and a little comparison and contrast among texts one can begin to see through the fog.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/a>Addendum<\/strong> (6\/19\/2015): Jim Searcy<\/a> has published that the Septuagint is a hoax<\/a> written by Origen<\/a> and Eusebius<\/a> 200 hundred<\/a> years or so after Christ.\u00a0 \u201cIn fact, the Septuagint \u2018quotes\u2019 from the New Testament and not vice versa\u2026\u201d\u00a0 His contention is that the \u201cKing James Version is the infallible Word of God.\u201d \u00a0So, I\u2019ll re-examine the quotations above with the KJV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Items #1 – #5 correspond excellently between Old Testament and Paul’s quotations in his sermon at Antioch. \u00a0Item #6 indicates that Paul (inspired by the Holy Spirit) altered a\u00a0text addressed to the heathen<\/em>, applied it to the\u00a0Men of Israel, and ye that fear God<\/a><\/em>, called them despisers<\/em>, and threatened them (perish<\/em>). \u00a0Later Origen copied this text into his false Greek text which became the Septuagint, if Mr. Searcy is correct.<\/p>\n

The alternative here would be that the despisers<\/em> could no longer bear to hear this word in the Hebrew text and assumed it\u00a0was meant for the heathen, after the Greek text of the original Hebrew was firmly established. \u00a0Paul did seem to indicate that his words were what was spoken of in the prophets<\/a><\/em> (\u03c4\u1f78 \u03b5\u1f30\u03c1\u03b7\u03bc\u1f73\u03bd\u03bf\u03bd<\/a> \u1f10\u03bd \u03c4\u03bf\u1fd6\u03c2 \u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03c6\u1f75\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9\u03c2).<\/p>\n
