Exodus 9.16 |
Kai eneken toutou diethrhqhV,

|
And for this purpose hast thou been preserved, that I might display in thee my strength, and that my name might be published in all the earth |
For the scripture saith unto Pharoah, For this very purpose did I raise thee up, that I might show in thee my power, and that my name might be published abroad in all the earth |
but in very deed for this cause have I made thee to stand, to show thee my power, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth |
Comments: Paul has replaced “strength” (from
Brenton’s Septuagint) with “power.” However, in the LXX manuscript
Codex Alexandrinus, the word is dunamin, as
in the NT. The Hebrew word is koach, which the AV translates
sometimes as strength and other times as power.
The significant variation here is that the Greek has “show in thee” where the Hebrew has “show thee” - somewhat different concepts. |
