anabaV eiV uyoV, hcmalwteusen
aicmalwsian:
|
Thou art gone up on high, thou hast led captivity captive, thou hast received gifts for man |
When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, And gave gifts unto men |
Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led away captives; Thou hast received gifts among men |
Comments: The NT, LXX and the MT generally
agree, but the NT author has changed the sense of the verb in the second
clause from receiving to giving.
One LXX manuscript, Codex Sinaiticus, brings the LXX and the NT slightly closer. Sinaiticus reads “he led captivity captive” with the NT. |
