Talk:They have pierced my hands and my feet

Suggest re-naming as Psalm 22
I think no-one will ever find this article under this title. I suggest re-naming it PiCo (talk) 13:20, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, there's a lot more that can be said about Psalm 22. We could redirect the page here until more gets written. It's on my list of things to do. StAnselm (talk) 23:49, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Dating...
As I've read about the dating of the MT on wikipedia, I found that MT was EDITED later than LXX was FINISHED...

So I suggest an unbalanced marking for this article.

Context for Septuagint
I added a statement giving context to the LXX, which was reverted here by an anon editor who appears to be  logged out.

The above editor alleges in his (mis-spelled) edit summary that the septaguint wasn't fully compiled until later than the start of the Common Era. However, Development_of_the_Hebrew_Bible_canon states that the LXX was translated in stages between the 3rd to 2nd century BCE. Septuagint states (with two citations) that Pre-Christian Jews, Philo and Josephus considered the Septuagint on equal standing with the Hebrew text. Therefore I propose to reinstate my explanation. – Fayenatic  L ondon 21:20, 20 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Actually, I've reverted quite a few of his edits. We do frequent the same pages though. 50.187.216.93 (talk) 21:23, 20 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Also, you're confused. Greek Jews did not use the Septaguint. They used Aquila's translation and others. From the article:

"What was perhaps most significant for the LXX, as distinct from other Greek versions, was that the LXX began to lose Jewish sanction after differences between it and contemporary Hebrew scriptures were discovered. Even Greek-speaking Jews tended less to the LXX, preferring other Jewish versions in Greek, such as that of the 2nd-century Aquila translation, which seemed to be more concordant with contemporary Hebrew texts. 50.187.216.93 (talk) 21:25, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
 * You seem to be confused now. Aquila's translation was only done after pre-Christian Jews, Philo and Josephus died. – Fayenatic  L ondon 22:26, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
 * The reason I spend time on the page is because I've written much of the article. --Monochrome _ Monitor  21:34, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
