Textual Notes on LXX Deuteronomy 32:8, 43

  

Deut 32:8

 

When the Most High distributed nations

and he scattered the descendants of Adam,

he set up boundaries for the nations

according to the number of the angels of God. (The Lexham English Septuagint)

 

         8 ὅτε διεμέριζεν ὁ ὕψιστος ἔθνη,

         ὡς διέσπειρεν υἱοὺς Ἀδάμ,

         ἔστησεν ὅρια ἐθνῶν

         κατὰ ἀριθμὸν υἱῶν θεοῦ (John William Wevers, ed., Deuteronomium [vol. III, 2; Vetus Testamentum Graecum. Auctoritate Academiae Scientiarum Gottingensis editum; Göttingen: Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, 2006], Dt 32:8)

Deut 32:43

 

Delight, O heavens, with him

and worship him, you sons of God.

Delight, O nations, with his people

and prevail with him, all you angels of God.

For he will avenge the blood of his sons,

and he will avenge and he will repay the enemies with vengeance,

and he will repay those who hate,

and the Lord will cleanse out the land of his people. (The Lexham English Septuagint)

 

⁴³ εὐφράνθητε, οὐρανοί, ἅμα αὐτῷ,

καὶ προσκυνησάτωσαν αὐτῷ πάντες υἱοὶ θεοῦ·

εὐφράνθητε, ἔθνη, μετὰ τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ,

καὶ ἐνισχυσάτωσαν αὐτῷ πάντες ἄγγελοι θεοῦ·

ὅτι τὸ αἷμα τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ ἐκδικεῖται,

καὶ ἐκδικήσει καὶ ἀνταποδώσει δίκην τοῖς ἐχθροῖς,

καὶ τοῖς μισοῦσιν ἀνταποδώσει,

καὶ ἐκκαθαριεῖ κύριος τὴν γῆν τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ. (John William Wevers, ed., Deuteronomium [vol. III, 2; Vetus Testamentum Graecum. Auctoritate Academiae Scientiarum Gottingensis editum; Göttingen: Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, 2006], Dt 32:43.)
