Wayne A. Mitchell on Amos 9:12

  

Amos 9:12 LXX(H) Mss

למון [ידרשו] [את יהוה] שארית [אדם] וכל הכוים

 

Amos 9:12 that the rest of humankind may seek after the LORD, and all the nations who are called by my name,” says the LORD who does this.

 

Comments: The LXX and GNT (Acts 15:17) read anthropon “humankind” = אדם, whereas MT reads אדום “Edom,” a misreading by one letter in a damaged scroll, or an aural confusion. Also, the above Greek texts read ekzetesosin “seek” יררשו, while MT reads יררשו “possess,” a misreading involving a dalet-yod confusion in a Paleo-Hebrew script. (Wayne A. Mitchell, Scribal Skips: 1700 Words That Fell Out of the Bible [5th ed.; 2025], 219)
