Thomas demonstrates that many of the scribal techniques used in both the Qumran and Old Greek versions of Job reflect practices attested in other Second Temple Jewish texts. The scribal choices Thomas reveals provide valuable insights into early interpretations and approaches to translating Job. Transformations in Translation is a critical resource for scholars and students interested in some of the most difficult passages to translate from Hebrew.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alun Morton Thomas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1628378239\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781628378238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e SBL Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 396\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.88d","brand":"Alun Morton Thomas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48801525661951,"sku":"9781628378238","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/transformations-in-translation-alun-morton-thomas-9781628378238","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
