- Title
What Kind of Governor was Nehemiah? The Titles ... and ... in MT and LXX Ezra-Nehemiah.
- Authors
Fulton, Deirdre
- Abstract
The exact meanings of the terms ... and ... in the text of Ezra-Nehemiah have drawn considerable attention over the past century. Most often understood as titles, these two terms are significant because they provide a window into how the texts of Ezra-Nehemiah depict the Persian administration of the province Beyond the River. This article explores the text-critical and redaction-critical issues in the Masoretic Text (MT) and Septuagint (LXX) texts of Ezra-Nehemiah and how changes to the Vorlage of the MT altered the position of »governor« and, more specifically, the role of Nehemiah within the text that bears his name.
