translator referred from his Gr. text to the Hebrew, which reads
( __xo_r.), he might readily mistake it for the familiar* tyW* (= -
= 'Ir/crovs).
But it is more probable that his _^c\.z- is to be corrected
into _a.o-z. = 2avas or 2ove of the LXX (A, or 19, 108).

Here the Syr., in its rendering
of 'A^ap 6 e/xTTooWrar^s 'lo-pa^A (LXX), restores the paronomasia
of the Hebrew, ^N"VW "IDty HD^, which is
unavoidably lost in the
Gr. (as in the " English, Achar the troubler of Israel ").
But this paronomasia in the Hebr. is effected by changing the name
of the person here mentioned, from pJ7 (of Joshua vii. 1, &c.
(
Achan)
to 13^ ('Achar) as here. It was no doubt suggested by the words of
Joshua (vii. 25) to Achan, m.T TDJT

"OTTO;?
H2 (" Why hast thou
troubled us ? the LORD shall trouble thee ") ; yet neither Syr.-Hxp.
(which uses \ *-\ nor Pesh. (aiAi) introduces the Syr. equivalent
(i* *) of ""QJ7 in that place. The rendering of the LXX is wAe'flpcuo-as,
which Syr.-Hxp. represents. All Gr. codices read 'A^ap here : B
(influenced no doubt by this passage) reads 'A^ap in Jos. vii. also ;
while A in both places adheres to the Hebr. (reading 'A^av in Jos.,
'A^ap here).
'E/zTToSoo-Ta-nyg, the LXX rendering of "Diy in this verse, in turn
rendered ~**i*^ by our Syr. (Pesh., K"io_a_^),
is a word found
only in late writers, and very rare, nowhere else in LXX. But the
verb e/uiTroSoo-TaTa) occurs once, Judic. xi. 35 (as read by M N, and
some mss, with slight variation, and by A in a corrupt form),f
where Jephthah's words to his daughter, ^IDJO J"Pn J"ltf (" thou
art among them that trouble me "), are rendered c/xTreTroSocrTaT^Kas /AC
[or /xot] ; and in Syr.-Hxp.,
,
V ^_mn rfiAo-a^.J Thus the Syr. at
once adheres to the Hebr. in employing the root i-a_x (~Oy), and
closely reproduces the Gr., by rendering as if /x7ro8iov Icn-rjicas IJLOI.
(Note that of the above three verbal nouns from this root, pciojx^
and "*i * ^*n stand for 6 e/xTroSt^cov,
