Isaiah 6 today in Septuagint class, also giving the students some exposure to Qumran Hebrew and its glorious paleography
Video on my favorite non-Dead Sea Hebrew fragment, the Nash Papyrus. What's interesting to me, apart from the unusual order of the commandments, is how Deut 6 & Exod 20--including the "longer" (LXX-style) Shema--are interpretively playing off each other

Paul's catena in Rom 3:9-20 is a good test case for how one construes his use of the OT in general. Is he pulling from a hat...or sensitive to context? (If the latter [and it is], then his use of Isa 59 here is particularly stunning...)

Here's the deep dive on Galatians with @pj_schreiner in which he argues that allegorical/tropological/anagogical interpretation is just ancient vibecoding.
Ok, he doesn't argue that. But it would be funny if we had thought of that idea during the interview

As a follow-up to my prior video on covenant/canon distinctions, here's my take on the evidence for a threefold Hebrew collection of Scriptures: youtu.be/YJ0s3xv8yVQ
(derived from my essay in Authority of the Septuagint)
Next week I'll cover Apocrypha/Deuterocanon directly
Had a great in-depth conversation yesterday with @pj_schreiner on Galatians 4 (allegory is back, baby...with caveats...and common sense...but a bit of spiciness too). Video will post on Thursday.
Paul's citation of Psalm 14 (and seemingly other stuff) in Romans 3:9ff is fascinating for many reasons. Not the least of which is how the entire catena is found in the majority Greek tradition of Psalm 14[13]. Which raises all sorts of questions.

This week's installment of "From Greek to Pulpit" looks at Rom 3:1-8 and involves this frameable scribble about Paul's use of Ps 51 and how that relates to the vertical and horizontal dimensions of his argument (and also why κρινεσθαι is mid not pass here)

Today in Septuagint class, we spent time in Ps 40[39], esp. the "ears"/"body" issue. Good discussion.
But my tradition is to start this particular class by playing U2's "40."
This year...
No one knew the song. Fine. It's niche.
But half the class had not even *heard* of U2.
RIP
I consolidated my @DailySeptuagint videos on the Hexapla into one resource if it's helpful for folks: youtube.com/watch?v=tW1czg8g…
Just doing my part to make @drjohnmeade and the Hexapla Institute famous
ISAT also hosting John on 12/1 for a virtual Hexapla lecture. Stay tuned
Excited to announce the 2027 Greek & Hebrew for Life Conference to be hosted at @rtsorlando. A joint venture by @dailygreek and the RTS Institute for the Study of Ancient Texts. Find out more in this preview (with links to registration)

P Bodmer V (part of the Composite codex that throws together Jude, 1-2 Peter, Melito, and other random stuff) features the earliest text of the Protoevangelium of James, which is arguably the most influential apocryphal "gospel"(ish) writing

I remember fondly the aftermath of the Jesus Wife fragment when I got to Cambridge. Here's a stroll down memory lane if you're not aware of this bizarre story. youtube.com/watch?v=n0qHAuvp…
H/T to @arielsabar for writing what is still one of my fav Bible-related popular books
The Gospel of Peter is one of the most intriguing early apocryphal gospels--not only due to its early attestation (and the Serapion incident)--but also the cross that speaks. Here's a video reading through part of the Akhmim codex.

Congrats to Mark de Kreij for discovering a new 4th C AD fragment of the Odyssey at Utrecht!
It was fun to do a short video walking through some basic transcription work to figure out what part of Book 12 it's from.

Today I learned that the key to teaching local 9th graders about scribes and the text of the NT is not so much Vaticanus, or Egyptian papyrus, or reed pens, or facsimiles of P9, P46, P52, or P115.
It's the nerds. Obviously the nerds.

In addition to the new Daily Dose of Scripture website, the daily dose ministry is launch a "Polyglot Reader" that puts the Hebrew Old Testament, Septuagint, Latin Vulgate, Aramaic Targum, and ESV side by side, with daily videos tagged, and with audio bibles.
If you notice at the start of Genesis 1, we have videos over Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, and Latin.
Let me know what you think.
