Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:The Old Greek text of Daniel chapter 8 exhibits many important differences compared to the Masoretic Text more familiar to most readers. Instead of a little horn who successfully challenges heaven, with a striking absence of divine intervention, the Old Greek tells of a strong horn who is thrown down by the heavenly powers and of a prince of the host who rescues the captives. This article attempts to give a coherent reading of the chapter in the Old Greek to bring out the quite different storyline and message of the Old Greek compared to the Masoretic Text.
