Genesis 5: other Greek differences

Editorial decision: print the MT; no Hebrew original is reconstructed. Greek from Swete, vol. 1, pp. 7–9; the ages are in note.textual.Gen.5.1-Gen.5.32.mt-sp-lxx-chronology.

Says The Greek has ἀνθρώπων, "of men," at 5:1 for אָדָם, and the name Ἀδάμ at 5:2; κατὰ τὴν εἰδέαν αὐτοῦ καὶ κατὰ τὴν εἰκόνα αὐτοῦ at 5:3 for בִּדְמוּתוֹ כְּצַלְמוֹ; εὐηρέστησεν … τῷ θεῷ at 5:22 and 24 for וַיִּתְהַלֵּךְ … אֶת־הָאֱלֹהִים; οὐχ ηὑρίσκετο … μετέθηκεν at 5:24 for וְאֵינֶנּוּ … לָקַח; διαναπαύσει ἡμᾶς at 5:29 for יְנַחֲמֵנוּ, with Κύριος ὁ θεός for יְהוָה; and τρεῖς υἱούς at 5:32.

Uncertain Whether these reflect other Hebrew or the translator; the Greek alone does not settle it.

Box (Swete's notes, in plain words): at 5:2 one manuscript has a corrected word over an erasure; at 5:3 and in other verses some manuscripts give the numbers in another order; at 5:15, 16 and 18 some manuscripts spell Jared Ιαρετ; at 5:22 one manuscript has και εζησεν Ενωχ, "and Enoch lived," for "Enoch pleased God"; at 5:25 the correction in Alexandrinus noted in note.textual.Gen.5.1-Gen.5.32.mt-sp-lxx-chronology.
