LAMENTATIONS 1:8A IN THE WORDINGS OF THE MASORETIC TEXT AND 4QLAM
Abstract
This study takes as its point of departure the view that 4QLam, one of the manuscripts of Lamentations from Qumran, holds great significance for both textcritics and exegetes who study Lamentations. To illustrate the significance of the manuscript, this study analyses the wordings of Lamentations 1:8 in 4QLam and the Masoretic text text-critically and provides interpretive comments on the differences between the two Hebrew textual representatives. In this regard, the study focuses on the variant readings dwnl and hdynl.Downloads
