Summary
Die Samaritaanse Liturgie is 'n onontginde terrein. Montgomery (1968:297) wys daarop dat Gesenius, Cowley en Heidenheim die eerstes was wat baanbrekerswerk op die terrein gedoen het. Brown h€?t ook 'n waardevolle bydrae gelewer met sy ongepubliseerde navorsing oor 'n klein deel van die Liturgie. Die navorsingsresultate wat hier volg, verteenwoordig dus slegs die eerste tree op die terrein van die studie van die Samaritaanse Liturgie. In hierdie studie word slegs 'n enkele gebed uit die Liturgie vertaal en aileen die verwantskappe van die gebed met die Masoretiese Pentateug word bespreek. . Hierdie artikel is gebaseer op 'n skripsie wat ingedien en aanvaar is as deel van die vereistes vir die BD-graad (1994), Departement Ou-Testamentiese Wetenskap, Falrulteit Teologie (Afd A), Universiteit van Pretoria, onder leiding van prof dr A P B Breytenbach. Sodoende word gewys op 'n literere verwantskap tussen die Samaritaanse Liturgie en Masoretiese Pentateug (kyk 3.1 vir 'n bespreking van die verband tussen die Masoretiese en Samaritaanse Pentateug)
