| Summary: | Hauptbeschreibung: Georg A. Walser investigates the use of the Old Testament (Gen. 47:31b; Ps. 40:7b; Jer. 31:33) in the Letter to the Hebrews, taking the complicated textual history of the quotations into account, especially the Septuagint and the possibility that different Hebrew texts may underlie the Greek translation.

It is also presupposed that this exegesis was handed down in the post Second Temple Jewish community and in the early church |
