| Summary: | The biblical citations recorded by Ephrem in section VI of his Commentary on Genesis (Gen. 5.32-9.16) support the Peshitta textual stream represented by MS 5bl = 8/5bl as over against that represented by MS 7al. Ephrem's approach of weaving the biblical text into the fabric of his retelling ofthe story of Genesis affects the evaluation of potential variant readings. Stylistic improvement, compression, abbreviation, and lexical substitution for the purpose of drawing together large stretches of text characterize his biblical citations. |
