Psalm 65:1 (66:1 MT) Greek OT manuscripts put Christian addition of the resurrection in the Psalm title

Post by Steven Avery »

Psalm 65 - Title -
Authorized Version (no resurrection tampering addition)
¶ To the chief Musician, A Song or Psalm. Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:

=======================


This is the Sinaiticus reading, like the Masoretic Text, no resurrection
This goes against the Christian manuscript tradition, as if the scribe (i.e. the text collator) knew the Hebrew Bible.

Next you can see that Vaticanus, since it is actually an early Greek Christian manuscript, even puts the resurrection on a special line.
(Not sure how early, really, but it is fully in the Greek manuscript tradition.)

Rahlf's terms this as one of the additamenta christiana, the most well known one involves Psalm 13 (14 MT) and a section from Romans 3.
