Reconsidering Nehemiah`s Judah

DEIRDRE N. FULTON
Reconsidering Nehemiah's Judah
The Case of MT and LXX Nehemia 11–12
[Neuauswertung des Juda bei Nehemia. Der Fall MT und LXX Nehemia 11–12.]
Published in English.
In this work, Deirdre N. Fulton examines the di erences in the MT and LXX texts of Nehemiah
11–12. She portrays the rebuilding of Judah by focusing on the people who settled in
Jerusalem, a catalog of settlements in Judah, a list of temple personnel, and a narrative of the
dedication and procession around the walls of Jerusalem. In this systematic study the author
analyzes the textual divergences and changes these chapters underwent over time. While both
traditions cast Nehemiah 11–12 in Persian period Judah, the textual divergences between the
MT and LXX reveal intentional changes that occurred during the Hellenistic period.
