New Testament Quotations of the Old Testament

Yes, indeed.

Singulars and plurals are exchanged also, and it is perfectly fine.

 

I bought Brunn's book more than half a decade ago and gave it away to a friend.

More folks need to be made aware of the facts he presents --though it often counters their narrative.

It's the second best book on the subject.

 

if it was known as a quote in Hebrew, why use the Greek to then translate to English? Why not Hebrew straight to English?

 

I'm not really sure that the New Testament quotes of the Old Testament with slight variation can used to support Dynamic Equivalency. The New Testament writers wrote under inspiration and the Holy Spirit has the authority to quote the Old Testament with whatever variations he wanted. I do not see how that gives authority to us to do the same.

 

Why would the Holy Spirit lead a writer to misquote a known verse?

 

The Hebrew quote being said in Greek is fine to stay in as a Greek Translation, Jesus did not speak Greek. If He spoke Hebrew, or Aramaic . why include Greek if the original quotes are known? To your point, is it an discrepancy if a quote from the OT does not match the NT?

 

Your examples are some that do not matter but words , especially from different languages do have different meanings.
Lord from a monotheistic culture is quite different than God is a polytheistic culture as Greek

Accuracy is most important.

During Paul's conversion, one says Jesus spoke in Hebrew in the KJv and in Aramaic in the Peshitta

Acts 26:14 - And we fell all of us upon the earth; and I heard a voice that said to me in Hebrew, Shaol, Shaol, why persecutest thou me ? [Shaol, Shaol, mono rodeph ath li ?] It is hard to thee to kick against the pricks !

in one yet this in another.

14 And we all fell to the ground, and I heard a voice, while saying unto me in Ebraith {the Hebrew, or rather, the Aramaic Language}: ‘Shaul {Saul}! Shaul {Saul}! Why do you persecute Me? It is hard for you to kick the goads!

Does it matter which language? Depends on the listener.

 

The New Testament writers, including Jesus, often quoted from the LXX (the Greek translation of the Old Testament scriptures).

I have to disagree with you. Greek was used throughout that part of the ancient world, and Galilee was more Hellenized than Jerusalem. It also appears that Jesus quoted the LXX a fair amount.

 

Jesus spoke Aramaic and Hebrew. He probably knew Greek as well but He would not have quoted Hebrew scriptures in Greek to Hebrew scholars who knew Hebrew scriptures very well

Please show m a verse that was Greek spoken by Jesus

 

I think your position is why there is SDA's, JW's , Mormons and each man made denomination exist The lax renderings allows mans opinions to be used. To be accurate, to insure consistency, is exactly why a Young's Literal Translation is necessary "Rightly dividing the Word of Truth" is just as important as "not of private interruption" .

 

Since (1) Jesus is the most intelligent man that has ever walked the earth; and (2) Greek was the language of commerce (He and his father Joseph were tradesmen), I think it is almost certain that Jesus both read and spoke Greek.

I hope you realize that Jesus did not spend that much time with the Hebrew scholars of the day. He spent most of His time with the common people and His disciples.

Since we have received the New Testament in Greek, we cannot be sure about all the places, but one of the classic examples is Luke 4:18-19.

The phrase "sight to the blind" is in the LXX, but not in the Hebrew text of Isaiah 61.

 

Yes, it was preserved in Greek, Then translated to English. Hebrew to Greek to English. They can be different,,,both are Inspired? Translations are not inspired

 

This is a really good, intriguing question, but the answer is not a simple "He wouldn't."
