2. The extent to which the LXX is guessing the meaning of the Hebrew rather than reflecting an accurate tradition has been summarized recently by Tov, Emanuel, “The Septuagint,” in Mikra, ed. Mulder, Martin Jan (Philadelphia: Fortress Press, 1988), pp. 169–171.Google Scholar

4. The commentaries are divided on whether these verses are from the same pericope.
