Abstract:
Among the five apocryphal, so-called Syriac Psalms, Psalm 151 (Syriac I) isa unique case, since it is preserved not only in the Syriac tradition but alsoin the Septuagint and other ancient versions as well as in the Psalms Scroll,11Q5 28:3–14. This paper concentrates on the question of the relationshipbetween the shorter Greek version of the Septuagint (on which the Syriacversion is dependent) and the longer Hebrew version from Qumran. Bothversions are a sort of midrash on 1 Sam 16–17. The Septuagint version,however, is not only shorter but consists of one single poem whereas theQumran version is divided into two separate pieces with two individualsuperscriptions. There is a discussion as to whether the Septuagint or theQumran version is original. James A. Sanders, followed by Dalia Amara,postulated that the Septuagint version makes no sense and, therefore,is an abbreviation of the original Hebrew version attested in Qumran.Menahem Haran, to the contrary, argued that the Septuagint version isthe original text and was supplemented and modified in the Qumranversion. He, however, did not explain the Greek text of the Septuagint(or its Hebrew Vorlage) in detail. This gap was filled by Michael Segal. Inthis paper I will follow Haran and Segal and would like to add anotherargument for the priority of the Septuagint version in relation to the laterQumran version which, as far as I can see, has not yet been noticed. TheQumran version shows clearly many signs of secondary supplementation.Closer inspection reveals that most of these supplementations were addedin order to adjust the poem to the biblical account in 1 Sam 16–17. This, Ithink is also a clear evidence for the secondary character of the Qumranversion of Psalm 151
