In looking at GJohn 11 the other day, I came across an interesting Puzzle:
The Greekies have "Lazarus" which supposedly came to us from "Eleazar", as in 1 Chronicles 24:
[1] The divisions of the sons of Aaron were these. The sons of Aaron: Nadab, Abi'hu, Elea'zar, and Ith'amar.
[2] But Nadab and Abi'hu died before their father, and had no children, so Elea'zar and Ith'amar became the priests.
Now, in looking at our esteemed Younan's Interlinear, we find:
John 11: 11 (Younan, in part):
These things | said Yeshua | and afterward | said | to them | *Lazar* | our friend...
Any direction here as to word development? If it should read "Eleazar" why not change it? Perhaps it doesn't need changing...
