Глава 34

Machine translation from the original · Show original
Gen.34:20–21. “And Hamor and his son Shechem came to the gates of their city and began to say to the city residents: “These people are at peace with us.” Where in this case the Seventy Interpreters translated “peaceful,” Aquila translated ἀπηρτισμένοι, that is, “perfect” or “complete.” In the Hebrew text this corresponds to salamin (שְ ֽ ׁלֵמִ ֧ ים). From this it is clear that what was said just above about Salim is true. Gen.34:25. “And they cautiously entered the city and killed all the male sex.” Instead of the word ἀσϕαλῶς, that is, “cautiously,” which we read in the Greek books, the Hebrew text says bete (בֶּ ֑ טַח), that is, “boldly” and “confidently.”
