2Corinthians 6:15 - Satana to Belial
#6
Burning one Wrote:Shlama,

i don't have any idea why there is a difference between Satana and Beliar, but here's a few variant spellings from different Greek texts that might be of interest to throw into the midst:

BELIAR

BELIAL

BELIAN

BELIAB

if you know Estrangela, you can see how BELIAB, BELIAL, and perhaps even BELIAN (if the nun was not in sophit form) could each be misconstrued with the last letter. Beliar - not so much... i don't know that it helps, since we don't have any Peshitta texts that actually contain such a variant term, but the lamadh, bet, and nun could indeed be mistaken for one another - especially the lamadh and nun, depending on height -- and i've seen an instance or so of misreading between a lamadh and a bet accounting for a disparate reading between the Greek and Aramaic, so that is possible, as well.


Chayim b'Moshiach,

What about misreading a final lamed for a nun? That's a strange phenomenon since the nun would have to be in a final form (see Manaen)
