Aantekeningen bij de Bijbel: Mattheus 2:18

Mattheus 2:18

Diverse Auteurs, NetBible, [2007], Mat 2: 18 The LXX of Jer 38:15 (31:15 ET) has "lamentation, weeping, and loud wailing"; most later mss (C D L W 0233 Ë¹³ 33 Ï) have a quotation in Matthew which conforms to that of the LXX (θρῆνος καὶ κλαυθμός καὶ ὀδυρμός; qrhno" kai klauqmo" kai odurmo"). But such assimilations were routine among the scribes; as such, they typically should be discounted because they are both predictable and motivated. The shorter reading, without "lamentation and," is thus to be preferred, especially since it cannot easily be accounted for unless it is the original wording here. Further, it is found in the better mss along with a good cross-section of other witnesses (א B Z 0250 Ë¹ pc lat co).
