Abstract

The hapax legomenon קֻבָּה, which seems to appear out of context in the account of Phinehas killing an Israelite man and a Midianite woman in Num 25:8, has long puzzled commentators, scholars, and translators. This paper presents a new, text-critical explanation, suggesting that the original text read ויבא אחר איש ישראל וידקר את שניהם את איש ישראל אל הקבה ואת האשה אל קבתה, not including קֻבָּה at all: Phinehas pierced the man אֶל הַקֵּבָה, “through the belly,” and the woman אֶל קֳבָתָהּ, “through her belly.” The corruption occurred when the words אל הקבה were moved six words back in the text due to homoioteleuton and a partially successful correction. This unintentionally created the extant sentence ויבא אחר איש ישראל אל הקבה, in which קבה must denote a location, not an organ. Rather than קֵבָה, it was therefore read as קֻבָּה.

qubb的意义(无意义)和民数记25:8的原文
在民数记25:8中,非尼哈杀死一名以色列男子和一名米甸女子的故事中,似乎脱离了上下文,这个偶然的传说一直困扰着评论家、学者和翻译家。本文提出了一种新的,text-critical解释,说明原文读ויבאאחראישישראלוידקראתשניהםאתאישישראלאלהקבהואתהאשהאלקבתה,不包括קֻבָּה:非穿男人אֶלהַקֵּבָה,“肚子,”妇人אֶלקֳבָתָהּ,“通过她的肚”。腐败发生在单词אלהקבה都被感动了六个字在文本由于homoioteleuton和部分成功回调。这无意中创造了现在的句子“twtwtwl”,其中“twtwl”必须表示一个位置,而不是一个器官。因此,它不应被读为“vah -”。
