Malachi 3

Post by Saboi »

Malachi 3:1 ( rough translation)
Behold i discharge my messenger
and prepare her way before my (thee?)
And straightaway go to his temple of Adonis
Who you seek
And the messenger of the will whom you desire
Behold come and say, "Yhwh - Battle-array"


פנה־דרך (Malachi 3:1) *Feminine
פנו־דרך (Isaiah 40:3) * Masculine

Gospel of Mark merges Malachi 3:1 and Isaiah 40:3 and omits and moves פנה־דרך
and changes μου (י) to σου (ך), else the original had a -ך.

הנני שלח מלאכי ופנה־דרך לפני ( MT)
ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐξαποστέλλω τὸν ἄγγελόν μου καὶ ἐπιβλέψεται ὁδὸν πρὸ προσώπου μου (LXX)
Ἰδού ἐγὼ ἀποστέλλω τὸν ἄγγελόν μου πρὸ προσώπου σου ( Mark 1:2)

The last two words of Mark 1:2 " ἔμπροσθέν σου" is a translation of "לפניך "
in Isaiah 45:1, 2.

לרד־לפניו - ἐπακοῦσαι ἔμπροσθεν "hearken before him"
Isaiah 45:2 - ἔμπροσθέν σου : לפניך ( DDS reads לפניכה )

The word היכל does not appear in the Torah, first appearance in 1 Samuel 3:3.

The default transliteration of ה is ο and thus היכ is οικ
as in οἰκῶ which was originally written ϝοικω hence ϝικ/ בית

ביתאל : היכל

Malachi (the name) in the Greek version is translated into ἀγγέλου 'messenger, envoy' (noun sg masc gen)
and the word appears in 3:1

Malachi 1:1 - Malachi (מלאכי)
Malachi 3:1 - Behold, I will send my messenger (הנני שלח מלאכי) ... "Behold, I will send Malachi"

The Book that is quoted first in the Gospel of Mark is Malachi (namesake)

Mark 1:10 - περιστερὰν (Feminine)
Mark 1:11 - φωνὴ (Feminine)
* And there came her voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my only-Son, in whom I am well pleased.

In Genesis 22:2, Isaac is referred too as a "Only Son" יחידך/ἀγαπητόν and yet Abraham had other sons
but he was the only son of Sarah.

יחיד is feminine and the root is יחד/ἰῆς from εἷς/אחד

εἷς, ἕεις, μία, ἕν , μίη, ἑνός, μιᾶς, ἑνός, ἰῆς. ἰῇ , μηδὲ , οὐδέ

φωνὴ is the prefix of Περσεφόνη "Persephone" , the alternative mother of Dionysus, also called Kore. Π/κ.

ענה = φωνὴ

כור עני (Isa 48:10)
כורש ענה - Περσεφόνη, Περσεύς

Malachi 3:4 "Judea & Jerusalem"
יהודה ו ירושלם
Ιουδα καὶ Ιερουσαλημ

Ιουδα - Ιου δα , Ιου γᾶ

δᾶ - Doric for γῆ, γᾶ "Land, Earth"

Herodotus 1.1.3 (Jews in Egypt)
Phoenicians came to Argos and kidnapped IO (Ἰοῦν ) daughter of Inachus (Ἰνάχου) and sailed her to Egypt.

Ἰνάχου: > Ἰάχου > Ἰακώβ > יַעֲקֹב
