Question :
How does your reconstructed paleo/proto Hebrew script form with a Masoretic text base add anything that isn't already there in the LXX?
You're using a reconstructed script on a reconstructed base to reintroduce Christocentricism into Rabbinic teachings.
What benefit is there involving post Christian Jews when your interpretive dance aligns more with the LXX anyways.
Answer :
The method, even if we don't want to involve them, in my opinion the method is still useful.
Explanation:
The reconstruction of paleo/proto-Hebrew script alongside Masoretic textual analysis aims to uncover linguistic and theological layers that may have been obscured or reinterpreted over time. While the Septuagint (LXX) is a valuable witness to early biblical interpretation, it reflects the Hellenistic Jewish context of its translators. By examining earlier script forms and vocalization traditions, we can identify potential semantic nuances or Christocentric typologies that align with both ancient Israelite thought and later Christian exegesis—without conflating the two.
The goal isn’t to impose Christocentricity onto Rabbinic teachings but to explore how certain textual traditions might independently resonate with messianic expectations shared across Second Temple Judaism. Post-Christian Jewish perspectives are valuable precisely because they highlight divergences, forcing us to refine our methodology rather than assume alignment. Even if conclusions sometimes parallel the LXX, the process emphasizes *how* these connections emerge from the Hebrew textual tradition itself, not just its Greek adaptation.
