2. The extent to which the LXX is guessing the meaning of the Hebrew rather than reflecting an accurate tradition has been summarized recently by Tov, Emanuel, “The Septuagint,” in Mikra, ed. Mulder, Martin Jan (Philadelphia: Fortress Press, 1988), pp. 169–171.Google Scholar

3. See Greenberg, Moshe, Ezekiel, 1–20, Anchor Bible (Garden City, N.Y.: Doubleday, 1983), p. 281Google Scholar. This important work is lacking from Day's bibliography; in general, his bibliography and notes overemphasize minute philological studies at the expense of biblical commentaries.

4. The commentaries are divided on whether these verses are from the same pericope.
