He will keep the feet of His holy ones, Hannah’s prayer continued, but the wicked shall be put to silence in darkness; for not by strength shall man prevail.^[1]  Only the third clause gets any corroboration from the Septuagint.  I’ll examine the first two clauses in detail using Morfix online.

Morfix translates contemporary Hebrew, not necessarily or exclusively biblical Hebrew, but it’s the online source I’ve found to begin to get a handle on Hebrew homographs.  I copied the Hebrew word from the Engish/Hebrew Tanakh on Chabad.org.  If I got no result when I pasted it into Morfix I tried the same word (without vowel points) from the NET parallel Hebrew.  (I’m assuming for the moment the failure has something to do with the way my copy/paste function handles vowel points.)

There doesn’t appear to be any way to derive granting his petition to him that prays from Hebrew homographs of the Masoretic text.  I note that He will keep the feet of His holy ones might be considered a more general analog relative to the specificity of granting his petition to him that prays to Hannah’s own circumstance (1 Samuel 1:10-20).

Again, it doesn’t seem possible to derive and he blesses the years of the righteous from homographs of the Hebrew of the Masoretic text.  I note that but the wicked shall be put to silence in darkness is the logical inverse of and he blesses the years of the righteous, contrasting the death of the wicked to the life of the righteous.  Someone made a deliberate change, but whom?

He lifts up the poor from the earth, and raises the needy from the dunghill; to seat him with the princes of the people, and causing them to inherit the throne of glory (Table): granting his petition to him that prays; and he blesses the years of the righteous, for by strength cannot man prevail (Table).^[3]  This certainly directs my thoughts to Jesus, specifically his petition: Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.^[4]

The same verses from the Masoretic text, not so much: He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, He lifteth up the needy from the dung-hill, to make them sit with princes, and inherit the throne of glory; for the pillars of the earth are HaShem’S, and He hath set the world upon them (Table). He will keep the feet of His holy ones, but the wicked shall be put to silence in darkness; for not by strength shall man prevail (Table).^[5]

When I consider that the Masoretes’ attempt “to decipher the authentic word of God and eliminate the dissimilarities” of the “many disparities of the Torah [that] emerged as countless scribes wrote numerous scrolls” was guided by “their ultimate goal…to uphold the traditions of the Jewish people,”^[6] I think the Septuagint may be more original here.  The translation—but the wicked shall be put to silence in darkness—is somewhat clever.  But it scarcely hides the Masoretes’ profound wish that the wicked shall be cut off in darkness,^[7] if the wicked are understood as those pesky believers who kept finding Jesus in the Hebrew Scriptures.  As such, it provides a tacit acknowledgement that petition was original here, a petition that was not being granted even as Hannah asserted that the Lord is granting his petition to him that prays.

The entire verse reads:

He watches over his holy ones, but the wicked are made speechless in the darkness, for it is not by one’s own strength that one prevails.	“Granting the prayer to the one who prays, he has even blessed the years of the righteous, because not by strength is a man mighty.	granting his petition to him that prays; and he blesses the years of the righteous, for by strength cannot man prevail.

If you remain in me and my words remain in you, Jesus promised, ask whatever you want, and it will be done for you.  My Father is honored by this, that you bear much fruit and show that you are my disciples.^[8]

Hannah continued:

I’ll consider each part of this verse in turn.

Morfix wasn’t much help for an understanding of יֵחַ֣תּוּ (shall be broken to pieces).  I copied and pasted the form חָתַת from Strong’s Concordance and Morfix came up with “(literary) fear, terror.”  Strong’s definition of חָתַת (châthath) reads: “A primitive root; properly to prostrate; hence to break down, either (literally) by violence, or (figuratively) by confusion and fear.”  And the NET reads: “1) to go down, descend 1a) (Qal) 1a1) to go down, descend 1a2) to descend, descend into (chastisement) (fig.) 1b) (Niphal) to come down into, penetrate 1c) (Piel) to cause to descend, press down, stretch (a bow) 1d) (Hiphil) to bring down.”

Moses said: Behold, HaShem thy G-d hath set the land before thee; go up, take possession (Hebrews 3:7-4:11), as HaShem, the G-d of thy fathers, hath spoken unto thee; fear not, neither be dismayed^[10] (תֵּחָֽת).  But the rabbis’ chose δειλιάσητε (a form of δειλιάω: to be afraid, fear, be fearful; to be timid, be cowardly) in this context rather than ἀσθενῆ (a form of ἀσθενής: weak, powerless; weak and easily defeated; sick, ill, unhealthy; physically weak, feeble, miserable; morally weak; weak in influence, without influence; structurally weak {e.g., weak stones unable to support}).

As I meditate on the meaning of these words I can’t help but recall Paul’s letter to believers in Philippi (Philippians 2:5-11 NET):

You should have the same attitude^[11] toward one another that Christ Jesus had, who though he existed in the form of God did not regard equality with God as something to be grasped, but^[12] emptied himself by taking on the form of a slave, by looking like other men, and by sharing in human nature.  He humbled himself, by becoming obedient to the point of death—even death on a cross!  As a result God highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow—in heaven and on earth and under the earth—and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.

To an unbeliever this is a dreadful fate reserved for one’s worst enemies.  To a believer this is the wisdom and power of God unto salvation as He transfigures his adversary (ἀντίδικον), one adversary at a time into his sons.  Again, Paul wrote to believers in Corinth (2 Corinthians 12:9, 10 NET):

But [the Lord] said to me, “My grace is enough for you, for my^[13] power is made perfect^[14] in weakness (ἀσθενείᾳ).”  So then, I will boast most gladly about my weaknesses (ἀσθενείαις), so that the power of Christ may reside in me.  Therefore I am content with weaknesses (ἀσθενείαις), with insults, with troubles, with persecutions and^[15] difficulties for the sake of Christ, for whenever I am weak (ἀσθενῶ), then I am strong.

Hannah’s prayer continued in the Septuagint:

		the Lord is holy.	the Lord [is] holy.

Here I was reminded of David’s words:

Masoretic Text		Septuagint
1 Chronicles 28:2, 3 (Tanakh)	1 Chronicles 28:2, 3 (NET)	1 Chronicles 28:2, 3 (NETS)	1 Chronicles 28:2, 3 (Elpenor English)
Then David the king stood up upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people: As for me, I had in mine heart to build an house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and for the footstool of our God, and had made ready for the building:	King David rose to his feet and said: “Listen to me, my brothers and my people.  I wanted to build a temple where the ark of the Lord’s covenant could be placed as a footstool for our God.  I have made the preparations for building it.	And Dauid stood in the midst of the assembly and said, “Here me, my brothers and people.  It was in my heart to build a house of repose for the ark of the covenant of the Lord and a station for the feet of our Lord, and I prepared the materials for the encamping.	And David stood in the midst of the assembly, and said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people: it was in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and a place for the feet of our Lord, and I prepared [materials] suitable for the building:
But God said unto me, Thou shalt not build an house for my name, because thou hast been a man of war, and hast shed blood.	But God said to me, ‘You must not build a temple to honor me, for you are a warrior and have spilled blood.’	And God said, ‘You shall not build me a house for my name to be called upon it, because you have been a person of war and have spilled blood.’	but God said, Thou shalt not build me a house to call my name upon it, for thou art a man of war, and hast shed blood.

Frankly, David’s words haven’t helped me distinguish whether the Masoretes were discomforted by They that strive with HaShem shall be broken to pieces and removed the Lord [is] holy, or whether the rabbis who translated The Lord will weaken his adversary felt that the Lord [is] holy was needed as an editorial comment.  Perhaps it’s here to remind me what it’s like when the Masoretic text and Septuagint are in agreement before I move on.  Hannah’s prayer continued in the Septuagint.

Masoretic Text		Septuagint
1 Samuel 2:10c (Tanakh)	1 Samuel 2:10c (NET)	1 Reigns 2:10c (NETS)	1 Kings 2:10c (Elpenor English)
		Let not the clever boast in his cleverness, and let not the mighty boast in his might, and let not the wealthy boast in his wealth, but let him who boasts boast in this: to understand and know the Lord and to execute justice and righteousness in the midst of the land.	Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, nor let the mighty man boast in his strength, and let not the rich man boast in his wealth; but let him that boasts boast in this, to understand and know the Lord, and to execute judgement and justice in the midst of the earth.

The first part of this is virtually identical to a passage in Jeremiah.  There are some word substitutions which scarcely alter the meaning of the text.

1 Samuel 2:10c-1 (Septuagint BLB)	1 Kings 2:10c-1 (Septuagint Elpenor)	Jeremiah 9:23 (Septuagint BLB)	Jeremiah 9:23 (Septuagint Elpenor)

The second part is more provocative.  In Hannah’s prayer the boast is: to understand and know the Lord, and to execute judgement and justice in the midst of the earth.  In Jeremiah’s prophecy the boast is: that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.^[16]

1 Samuel 2:10c-2 (Septuagint BLB)	1 Kings 2:10c-2 (Septuagint Elpenor)	Jeremiah 9:24 (Septuagint BLB)	Jeremiah 9:24 (Septuagint Elpenor)

I lean toward the idea that these words were removed by the Masoretes.  Translators have a different mission entirely: “We added a couple of cleverly edited verses from Jeremiah to make it appear that these concepts were prayed by a woman centuries earlier,” is not really part of a translator’s job description.  The Masoretes’ “ultimate goal…to uphold the traditions of the Jewish people,” “to decipher the authentic word of God and eliminate the dissimilarities” of the “many disparities of the Torah”^[17] seems more promising.  Jeremiah continued:

Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will punish all them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised;	The Lord says, “Watch out!  The time is soon coming when I will punish all those who are circumcised only in the flesh.	Behold, days are coming,says the Lord, and I will visit on all circumcised their foreskin:	Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will visit upon all the circumcised their uncircumcision;
Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness: for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.	That is, I will punish the Egyptians, the Judeans, the Edomites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, and all the desert people who cut their hair short at the temples.  I will do so because none of the people of those nations are really circumcised in the Lord’s sight.  Moreover, none of the people of Israel are circumcised when it comes to their hearts.”	on Egypt and on Judea and on Edom and on the sons of Ammon and on the sons of Moab and on every one who shaves all around what is on his face, those who live in the wilderness, because all the nations are uncircumcised in the flesh and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in their heart.	on Egypt, and on Idumea, and on Edom, and on the children of Ammon, and on the children of Moab, and on every one that shaves his face round about, [even] them that dwell in the wilderness; for all the Gentiles are uncircumcised in flesh, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised [in] their hearts.

In Hannah’s prayer the ones who boast to understand and know the Lord and to execute justice and righteousness in the midst of the land were apparently descendants of Israel.  In the reprise of these concepts in Jeremiah’s prophecy it is more doubtful that they possessed the understanding and knowing that I am the Lord that exercise mercy, and judgment, and righteousness, upon the earth; for in these things is my pleasure, saith the Lord.  So if deleting one or the other was the order of the day, why not delete the instance in Jeremiah?

Jeremiah’s prophecy has come to pass.  It is an indelible part of Israel’s history.  Hannah’s prayer is not yet fulfilled, and won’t be until descendants of Israel in Jerusalem say, Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!^[18]

And I will pour out a spirit of grace and compassion on the house of Dauid and on the inhabitants of Ierousalem, and they shall look to me because they have danced triumphantly (κατωρχήσαντο), and they shall mourn for him with a mourning as for a loved one, and they shall be pained with pain as for a firstborn.	And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and compassion: and they shall look upon me, because they have mocked (κατωρχήσαντο) [me], and they shall make lamentation for him, as for a beloved [friend], and they shall grieve intensely, as for a firstborn [son].

		דִּקֵּר	to puncture
		דַּקָּר	grouper (fish), Jaffa cod

I’m not sure how early “to annoy, to irritate, to get someone’s goat” became a colloquial meaning of דָּקַר, but it does help to explain the rabbis’ choice κατωρχήσαντο: “to mock; to dance in triumph over; to treat spitefully” according to the Koine Greek Lexicon.  From κατωρχήσαντο it’s not too hard to see how English translators of the Elpenor Septuagint with a Christian bias chose they have mocked while the BLB had the more Jewish interpretation: “they have danced triumphantly.”  As I wrote in another essay: “The translators of the Septuagint couldn’t imagine a scenario in which y^ehôvâh (יהוה) could be pierced.”  At least this verse of the Septuagint was not a hoax perpetrated by lying Christian apologists.^[19]

Hannah’s prayer continued:

There was no mention that the The Lord “ascended” or has gone up (ἀνέβη) to the heavens in the Masoretic text.  That would be way too reminiscent of Luke’s account (Acts 1:6-11 NET):

So when they had gathered together, they began to ask him, “Lord, is this the time when you are restoring the kingdom to Israel?” [Table]  He told them, “You are not permitted to know the times or periods that the Father has set by his own authority.  But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest parts of the earth.” [Table]  After he had said this, while they were watching, he was lifted up (ἐπήρθη) and a cloud hid him from their sight.  As they were still staring into the sky while he was going, suddenly two men in white clothing^[20] stood near them and said,^[21] “Men of Galilee, why do you stand here looking up into the sky? This same Jesus who has been taken up (ἀναλημφθεὶς) from you into heaven will come back in the same way you saw him go into heaven.”

I’ll finish this in other essay.  A table comparing Jesus’ quotation in Matthew 23:39 to the Septuagint follows:
