The Septuagint, Scribalism, and Command-Execution Pairing

The coupling of corresponding commands and executions is a well-attested literary trope in ancient Hebrew and cognate texts. When the Septuagint is considered in the context of Hebrew/Jewish scribalism in the Second Temple period, there are similar cases where command and execution are paired or a pairing is made more exact. Though it is often sidelined because it is a translation written in Greek, the Septuagint belongs in the context of Jewish scribalism, and translation into Greek is profitably considered as one aspect of scribalism.
