Consistency of Translation Techniques in the Tabernacle Accounts of Exodus in the Old Greek

Brill publishes the clothbound edition; the paperbound is published by the Society of Biblical Literature. Wade (a Bible translator) examines translation techniques in order to evaluate the contradictory claims about the number of translators producing the text. The translation is analyzed in terms of lexical equivalents, grammatical structures, and accuracy in communication equivalent information. The major theories about the translation of the tabernacle accounts are evaluated, and a new hypothesis is advanced. Hebrew textual variants are identified and are taken into consideration as possible sources for translations differences. Annotation ©2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
