FOREWORD TO THE EDITION BY GEORGE A. KIRAZ The primary objective of this edition is twofold: to provide a reliable text for scholars and students who are looking for a fully vocalized Syriac text, and to make available to religious communities, for whom this text is sacred, an English translation that can be used in various religious and cultural settings. As such, one had to navigate carefully between rigid scholarly principles and practical editorial choices. Making of the Text The current edition provides a West Syriac version of the 1887–91 Peshiʜta Mosul text. 1 While the Mosul text was prepared based on second millennium manuscripts, its text is substantially attested by manuscripts belonging to the first millennium. As ancient MSS are hardly vocalized, our text relies on the vocalization of the Mosul edition.

It was interesting to note how close the Mosul text was to the readings of the manuscripts of the first millennium, in itself a testimony to the faithfulness of second millennium manuscripts, upon which Mosul was based, to the earlier text. Leiden and Mosul differed in ca. 563 readings; i.e., ca. 10 variants per chapter. In other words, 98% of the Mosul readings are identical with the readings of Leiden.

of the time, the Mosul text was supported by a reading from the first millennium. Appendix 2 gives the variants of our text against the Leiden edition. Orthographic Diversions from Mosul In terms of the consonantal tier, the present text differs orthographically from the Mosul text in two ways. Firstly, it intentionally replaces early Syriac orthographic conventions, most of which are also preserved in the Eastň Syriac Mosul text, with West Syriac ones. 12 For example, Mosulň ƁŨ ŌŔ Ʀƣ œ ĥ Ō œ ò (perf. 3rd fem. pl.) is replaced in the present edition with Ɓ ô ɚ ŨŔ Ʀƣ  ĥ adding sH\ĆPH and the suffix IJ (1 Sam. 30:5); Mosul ťŶŁĭ is replaced with ťŶĥŁĭ adding medial ĥ (1 Sam. 23:17); Mosul ųƣĿ is replaced with ųƤſ ň ĿŌ adding IJ (1 Sam. 1:11). Secondly, as one of the objectives of the present edition is to provide a functional text for religious communities, it was necessary to be systematic and to provide the reader with a standardized orthography. Hence, many ŏ Ʀœ ô ƌĥł was chosen over contractions were systematically separate-ed; e.g., ĭ Ĭ ô ŏ ł Mosul ĭƦœ ô ƌĥ (2 Sam. 2:20). MS evidence and/or Lee’s edition and the Urmia edition give support to most, if not all, of these changes. As for the vocalic tier, the present text differs from the Mosul text in a number of ways. ő Ŏ was generally converted to the corresponding W. Syr. šł E. Syr. š except in lexemes where the E. and W. Syriac orthographies vary; e.g., E. Syr. ťƉŴƀ ò ƟŎ ő vs. W. Syr. ťƉ Ņ ŴòəŏƟŅ (2 Sam. 8:14) in addition to the fricatization of the taw. E. Syr. º   was generally converted to W. Syr.šŅ except when followed ł Ň Ņ łſ (1 Sam. by ĭ in which case it becameš ; e.g., E. Syr. ťƉŴſŇ vs. W. Syr. ťƉŴ 1:4). This also applies to nominal forms when followed by an enclitic demonstrative pronoun. E. Syr. š Ŋ was generally converted to W. Syr. šň except in lexemes where the E. and W. orthographies vary.

Text Organization The division of the text into chapters and verses is a recent Western phenomenon. Early manuscripts divided the texts into chapters, called in Syriac ķĭƨƙƟ, abbreviated ƚƟ, or ťŷʖĽ, abbreviated įĽ. Having said that, ancient manuscripts do not always follow a systematic approach in these chapter divisions. The present text follows the recent Western division of chapters, naming each chapter in Syriac ķĭƨƙƟ. Ancient Syriac chapter divisions are given in the outer margin preceded by the abbreviation įĽ for Ņ (they correspond to Roman numerals in the English translation). ťŷŅ ʖĽ These were provided by Adam Kane and Joshua Falconer. The numbers are based on MS Pocock 391 (Oxford). The present edition follows the 14

Mosul versification. Ancient manuscripts vary in the application of punctuation marks. The punctuation presented here follows the Mosul punctuation faithfully. Acknowledgements Andreas Juckel, my co-editor in the ʙurath Kthob series, played a major role in setting the textual policies of the edition. I am personally grateful to my wife Christine and three children: Tabetha Gabriella, Sebastian Kenoro, and Lucian Nurono. It is hoped that the current edition will be a motivation for further texts and translations of the Syriac Biblical tradition, and will stimulate the use of the Peshiʜta in educational and religious settings.

INTRODUCTION TO THE TRANSLATION BY DONALD M. WALTER AND GILLIAN GREENBERG 7KH3HVKLʞWD The Peshiʜta, the Syriac translation of the Hebrew Bible, was made in Edessa in the second century CE. Most students of this text believe that it was translated not by a single man bXWE\PHPEHUVRID¶3HVKLʜta school’. These translators wrote for Syriac speakers who wanted to read the Bible in their own tongue: so their task was to produce a text which read well, not as a stilted literal rendering of the source document, but which was at the same time a faithful translation of the Hebrew Vorlage. Whether the translators were Jews or Christians is a much debated question to which there is as yet no universally accepted answer. Some modern scholars believe that both Jews and Christians were involved: according to this theory, the work began at a time when the community in which the Peshiʜta school was based was still Jewish. Soon, however, the young Christian church in the area gained strength and followers, with the result that the community converted to Christianity: thus it is possible that the work was begun by Jews and completed by Christians. Even given that a number of translators were involved, a work of this length and importance must have taken many decades to complete, so such a development is plausible. Whatever the uncertainties, one thing is clear: the Peshiʜta has stood the test of time. We hope that our work will make the pleasure of reading it available to yet more readers. The Books of Samuel The first and the second books of Samuel are presented together in this volume, as there was no such division in the original Hebrew text. The book may be read as part of a much larger account of history which extends from the book of Joshua to the end of the second book of Kings. The book of Samuel begins at the end of the major period of the Judges with the background to Samuel’s birth and dedication, and Samuel himself seems to have continued in that tradition, moving in a circuit between certain XVII

important shrines. A desire for stronger leadership then led Israel to take the tragic figure Saul as king: it seems clear that the Israelite monarchy emerged in about 1000 BCE, but the length of Saul’s reign is uncertain. The story then progresses through the transition period of Saul to the accession of David who, despite the title, is the most prominent figure from about halfway through the first book onwards. The account of David’s life itself falls into two sections, the period of struggle which is described in 1 Samuel 16 – 2 Samuel 1, and the regnal period which takes up the rest of 2 Samuel. The book ends shortly before David’s death, probably late in the first half of the tenth century. The Hebrew text is complex, containing parallel accounts of some incidents, for instance the descriptions of Saul’s appointment as king, and of David’s flight from court. There are discrepancies too: in one account the election of Saul is an act of grace, where God has seen the affliction of the Israelites and promises that Saul will be the deliverer; in another, the people’s desire for a king is an act of apostasy. In addition, there are some components which seem to be independent compositions which have been inserted into the text: an example is Hannah’s song in 1 Samuel 2:1–10, which has no particular reference to the story. The generally accepted explanation is that two or more documents have been joined together, and that each one was originally part of a larger history. The arrangement of the materials in the book is not necessarily an indicator of the historical sequence of events. This complicated textual history may explain passages where the Hebrew is repetitive: extracts from more than one manuscript may have entered the final version. In some of these passages, P is simpler than the Hebrew, omitting part or all of the repetition. It is usually impossible to be sure whether the difference between P and the Hebrew is due to P having had a different Vorlage, or to the translator having deliberately simplified the passage. A number of the passages are listed in Addendum 3, esp. Part 2. This same textual history of the Hebrew may also underlie the passages where P has phrases which are represented neither in the Hebrew nor in the LXX, perhaps having been present in P’s Vorlage but lost during transmission of the Hebrew.
