Abstract

In this article I research the usage of α?τ?? (m.sg.nom) in the LXX Greek. Classical Greek grammarians have insisted that the nominative form of α?τ?? is not used as a person pronoun. Instead, it either intensifies a noun, which is modified by α?τ?? with the meaning of “oneself” or emphasises the noun with the meaning of “the same”, in the name of the special usage of α?τ?? But, from some passages in the LXX, we sometimes find examples that seem to imply the usage as the pronoun of α?τ?? (m.sg.nom). For this phenomenon, grammatical explanation is to be requested. However, well-known LXX Greek grammar books, such as those of F. C. Conybeare and G. Stock (English), H. J. Thackeray (English) and S. -N. Kang (Korean), do not provide sufficient explanation of this phenomenon. They just mention that such a phenomenon is found in a few books in the LXX. Such a situation have sometimes produced difficulties not only in understanding the nature and feature of LXX Greek, but also in investigating the influence of LXX Greek on NT Greek as well as the literary or/and genealogical relationship(s) between the Hebrew Vorlage and the LXX. The very reason of this situation is the absence in the study of the usage of α?τ?? in the sphere of the LXX Greek. Thus I try to investigate the usage of α?τ?? (m.sg.nom.) in the LXX in order to offer hints to solve the above- mentioned difficulties. To achieve this aim, I tried to analyse and compare the usage of α?τ?? (m.sg.nom.) and its substitutes in a few selected books in the LXX, i.e. LXX Genesis (literary translation), LXX Ruth and Ecclesiastes (literal translations), LXX Isaiah (free translation), and 2 Maccabees (original, but summarised, Greek work), and revealed that α?τ?? (m.sg.nom.) was used as personal pronoun in the third person in the LXX and its occurrence increased in later books of the LXX.
