Some years ago our Congo. had a trip to the British Museum, on hand when we got there were Bros.(some from London Bethel) to act as guides to direct us to all the exhibits that should interest us Dubs. One guide showed me the Sanaiaticus manuscript and said "Do you want to see the Divine name in this? .....there it is..!" and pointed to a part of the page on display then he scuttled off. I thought to myself that dosn't look like the tetragram in Hebrew or Greek. So when I got home I checked up and sure enough the Divine Name does not appear in it! (only as Kyrios, Lord, I believe)

I wonder how many Dubs believed this" guide" ?

By the way he was the same guy who was telling us that the first tranlation into "English" was in the 15th. Centuary as I was standing next to an English vernacular version from 400 or so years earlier!!!!

Why oh Why did I not question at the time how far this use of "blind guides" went in the WTS ?

Easyreader said: "I am guessing that the WBTS will just ignore this, Sarah Palin style. It's easier to ignore it than to try to explain it."

Maybe the WTBTS will learn, like Palin did, that it is better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and prove it beyond all doubt.

Outlaw:

This is what I got; it seems to run out at v13.

I'm adding what I found in Blue Letter Bible: that says that the LXX doesn't have any info on it.

I'm going off to the bookshelf and look in the Septuagint. B acj in a flash

Samuel Bagsters LXX shows Psalms 83:18 (LXXXIII.18) and it is in the Greek w/ Kyrios, for Lord. Some manuscripts seem not to have had all features...

from THE SEPTUAGINT WITH APOCRYPHA: GREEK AND ENGLISH Originally published by Samuel Bagster & Sons, Ltd., London 1851

reprinted 1999

Nice try, but you can't win them all
