Abstract:
In this contribution, I have argued that the MT of the Book of Joshua demonstrates more consistency in its use of the title “Servant of God”, than can be found in the Old Greek. In the Old Greek, there are four Greek equivalents for the Hebrew. The consistent use of the expression “Servant of God” in the MT also reinforces the connection between the Book of Deuteronomy and the Book of Joshua-a connection which is not there on the Greek level and most likely the older Hebrew Vorlage of the Book of Joshua.
