Dead Sea Scrolls-Septuagint Alignments Against the Masoretic Text
|
The following table shows Septuagint readings which differ
from the Masoretic text, but which are supported by the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Underlining is used to highlight the differences so supported. The
"Septuagint" column largely reflects Brenton's translation, and the "Masoretic
Text" is based on the American Standard Version. The table is limited
to the first five books of the Bible, but similar variations prevail elsewhere.
The list of passages given below was generated using the footnotes in The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible, Abegg, Flint, and Ullrich, HarperCollins, 1999. |
