Seulgi L. Byun examines the ancient Greek version of Isaiah, commonly  referred to as LXX (Septuagint) Isaiah, and examines a number of  possible cases in depth in order to determine the degree to which  semantic change within Hebrew, as well as the spread of Aramaic already  in the Second Temple period, may have influenced the translator.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe  book begins with an overview of key issues (semantic change; the  development (or non-development) of the Hebrew language; previous  scholarship; issues in the study of LXX Isaiah; and methodological  considerations). This is followed by four larger sections representing  various categories of examples where post-biblical Hebrew or Aramaic may  have influenced renderings in the text, each offering specific  examples. The first section contains examples where post-biblical Hebrew  may have influenced LXX Isaiah; the second section offers examples of  Aramaic influence; the third section addresses examples where the  influence is not clear (possibly both post-biblical Hebrew and Aramaic);  and the fourth section discusses the possibility of word manipulation -  cases where the translator of LXX Isaiah ‘manipulated’ the Hebrew with a post-biblical Hebrew or Aramaic meaning\/word in mind.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54020135125336,"sku":null,"price":173.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780567672384_ff1d7ea7-0ddb-4ce9-ad4e-43729a5df2f0.jpg?v=1780388111","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/the-influence-of-post-biblical-hebrew-and-aramaic-on-the-translator-of-septuagint-isaiah","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
