Abstract

THE ANIMAL SERIES IN THE PRIMEVAL HISTORY BY W. M. CLARK Princeton I ' In the enumeration of the creatures over which man is to rule in Gen. i 28, the MT is sometimes emended by the addition of fibabbe- hiwi 1). This emendation is based on the LXX and Syriac as well as on the occurrence of "cattle" in v. 26 MT. The assumption is that the phrase has fallen out through scribal error. This plausible sug- gestion is not to be accepted uncritically. The MT is supported by the Samaritan Pentateuch (vON GALL) and by the Targum (SPERBER). v. 26 is itself assumed to be corrupt and "beast" is added to it so as to read "over all the beasts of the earth" 2). However, a close look at the LXX shows that: 1) the LXX does not add hayyat in v. 26; 2) as the LXX in v. 28 adds "all the cattle and all the earth", it is question- able procedure to accept only part of the LXX reading; 3) the LXX "translates" hayyd of v. 28 by É.:p7tE-rÓ\I instead of the normal 6'Y)p£o\l 3), making the animal series of v. 26 and v. 28
