Abstract
Geleerdes stem saam dat die Hebreeuse teks van Sagaria 2:8 (v. 12 in Hebreeus) uiters moeilik
is om te vertaal. Hierdie artikel fokus op die volgende vrae: Maak die Masoretiese teks sin?
Moet ons die Masoretiese teks wysig? Die vertaling van die volgende ingewikkelde woorde
en frases word bespreek: (1) 3 ;אחר כבוד שׁלחני ( 2) ;יהוה צבאות ) the particle 5) ;בבבת ( 4) ;כי ) en .עינו
Die skrywer glo dat dit nie nodig is om die Masoretiese teks te wysig nie en bied die volgende
moontlike vertaling aan: ‘Want so sê die HERE van alle magte: Ná die heerlikheid (d.i. die
visioen) het Hy my gestuur na die nasies deur wie julle uitgebuit is; waarlik, wie aan julle vat,
vat aan die appel van sy oog.’
