Summary: | The early Christian writings of Romans, James, Matthew, Mark, Luke and the Didache all refer to the second table of the Decalogue. One is, however, immediately confronted with the variety of existing pretexts from the Hebrew and Septuagint traditions in both the Exodus and Deuteronomy accounts when trying to trace the pretext(s) which they might have used. This paper compares the potential existing pretexts-as represented in the LXX uncials-used by these early Christian writers and attempts to establish which of these might have been used by a specific author. It also attempts to see how these early Christian writers, as ancient readers, understood their pretexts during the process of their text production. |
