Abstract

"In 2000, R E. Gane argued convincingly that if the expressidn &o&cpov roc ~ararrcr&oparoq(H eb 6:19) is based on the LXX, where "inner veil" is the only possible meaning (Exod 26~33;L ev 16~21, 2, IS), it should also be "inner veil" in Heb 6:19.* Gane's observation that the term ~ararrZraopa is qualified by the term 6odrcpov is important, because it recognizes a trend of the LXX translators with respect to the term ~ararriraupa. That is, while the Greek translators are often inconsistent in what Hebrew term they translate as ~araniraopa(i t can itself refer to any of three curtains in the tabernacle), the presence of contextual qualifiers, such as 6odrcpov, seemed to have afforded the LXX translators such liberties.'"
