Samaritan community has always recognized as sacred only the *rst *ve books of the Hebrew Bible, the Pentateuch, but in a version quite distinct from the other two better known ancient versions of the Hebrew Bible: the Masoretic Text (MT) and the Septuagint (LXX). )e SP shows its distinc-

it is the most fertile and one of the most interesting spots in Palestine. Here is found the one remaining colony of the sect founded by Sanballat and his son-in-law Manas- seh, living under the shadow of the mountain where they built their synagogue soon after 432 B.C. There are about one hundred and sixty-five of them now, and their num- bers are...
examine minutely the two old copies, but my impression confirms Conder's description of the case of the newer one as being of brass, with thin, silver arabesques. The older one seemed to be of solid silver, and the manuscript is very old, yellow, torn, and patched. The ink is much faded,1 and is said to be of a purplish cast, as contrasted with the...

It was newer than the other, with wider columns, and the lines were less regular and not ruled.

modern, but it has some interesting characteristics as com- pared with Kennicott's list of Samaritan manuscripts in European libraries. These various manuscripts were for the most part secured elsewhere than at Nablus, and from private parties. Without exception they are in book form. Most of them are incomplete, and many of them are very fragmenta...

It was dangerous to be a lower critic in those days. After Jerome had been dead a few centuries, however, men began to...

The Samaritan Pentateuch certainly contains...
in Genesis iv. 8, the translation of our English Bibles, "And Cain told his brother," is most unlikely. The mar- gin of the American Revised is better, "And Cain said un- to his brother." But what did he say ? According to the Samaritan, the LXX. agreeing, he said, "L,et us go into the field." The circumstances at once confirm this as the probably ...
tians came to Joseph, and offered to sell not only their lands, but themselves. Our translations from the Hebrew read, "And he removed them to the cities." But the Sa- maritan tells us, the Septuagint agreeing, that "he en-slaved them to slaves," which is probably correct, as the context would indicate. But there are three points in which there are...

"And Moses charged the people the same day, saying, These shall stand upon mount Gerizim to bless the people, when ye are passed over Jordan; Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin: and these shall stand upon mount Bbal for the curse; Reu- ben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.

the incidental allusions in the account of the setting up of the stones on either Gerizim or Bbal. . I cannot agree that any one has answered Kennicott in his study of these. Omitting some trivial arguments, he sustains the conten- tion that the memorial stones erected after the passing of Jordan were upon Gerizim, as the Samaritans claim, by these...

The subject of the Samaritan canon is usually discussed in relation to the development of the Pentateuch and the Hebrew Bible. The Samaritan canon serves as a foil to the development of the Jewish Bible and Christian Old Testament. The study of some of the Dead Sea Scrolls has reinvigorated research into this topic.
