Alteration No. 20: Difference between Isaiah and Paul

3 could not have had wives with him. A child of this age cannot be accused of

committing an act which is evil in the eyes of God.

Alteration No. 18

According to some versions Psalm 20 verse 17, and according to the Hebrew

version, Psalm 22 verse 16, includes this sentence:

My both hands are like a lion.

In the Catholic and the Protestant translations the sentence reads:

They pierced my hands and my feet

All the scholars admit the presence of an alteration at this place.

Alteration No. 19

Under his comments on Isaiah 64:2, 62 Adam Clarke said in volume 4 of his

book:

At this place the Hebrew text has undergone a great alteration, the correct

sentence should be: the fire causeth the wax to melt.

Alteration No. 20: Difference between Isaiah and Paul

Verse 4 of the same chapter contains:

For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, besides thee, what he hath

prepared for him that waiteth for him.

But Paul records this verse differently in his first letter to Corinthians,

saying:

Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of

man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

62 ”And when the melting fire burneth the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make they name known to thine adversaries, that nations may tremble at they presence.” (Isaiah 64:2)
