( PART 2 ) JEROMES DELIBERATE OMISSION OF THE “...ANGEL...” IN THE BUSH, IN HIS VULGATE VERSION AT EXODUS 3:2
The
interesting thing about Jerome's deliberate omission in Exodus 3:2 of
any mention of the:
Ltn.,
( Angelus ) “...ANGEL...”
Is
that he still included a mention of the “...ANGEL...” at Acts chapter 7 and verse 30, in his Vulgate. Where Stephen actually quotes Exodus 3:2 in his speech before the Sanhedrin.
Here's
the Vulgate text of Acts Chapter 7 and verse 30:
LATIN
TEXT:
“...Et expletis
annis quadraginta apparuit illi in deserto montis Sina ( Angelus
) in igne flammae rubi...” -
(Acts 7:30, “LATIN: BIBLIA SACRA VULGATA,” at Biblos.com
Online Bible.)
JEROME'S
LATIN VULGATE: “...And
when forty years were completed, there appeared to him, in the desert
of Mount Sinai, ( AN ANGEL ), in
a flame of fire in a bush...” - (Acts 7:30,
“THE SACRED BIBLE – Catholic Public
Domain Version, Original Version,” Ronald L. Conte Jr., translator
and editor, 2009.)
The
Clementine Revision or Version of the Vulgate is exactly the same:
LATIN
TEXT: “...Et expletis annis
quadraginta, apparuit illi in deserto montis Sina ( Angelus
) in igne flammæ rubi...” -
(Acts 7:30,
“Biblia Sacra juxta Vulgatam Clementinam,” at “The Clementine
text of the Latin Vulgate Bible,” Published with approbation.
CBCEW, 9th January 2006.)
CLEMENTINE
RECENSION LATIN: “...And
when forty years were completed, there appeared to him, in the desert
of Mount Sinai, ( AN ANGEL ), in
a flame of fire in a bush...” - (Acts 7:30, “THE SACRED
BIBLE – Catholic Public Domain Version, Original Version,” Ronald
L. Conte Jr., translator and editor, 2009.)
And
the Modern or New Vulgate Revision by the Vatican also has the:
Ltn.,
( Angelus ) “...ANGEL...”
In
the text:
LATIN
TEXT: “...Et expletis annis
quadraginta, apparuit illi in deserto montis Sinai ( Angelus
) in ignis flamma rubi...” - (Acts 7:30, NOVA
VULGATA – BIBLIORUM SACORUM EDITIO. [Revised Vulgate], Published by
the Roman See : Libreria Editrice Vaticana, 2nd
Edition 1986.)
NEW
LATIN VULGATE: “...And when
forty years came to completion, there appeared to him, in the desert
of Mount Sinai, ( AN ANGEL
), within a bramble bush, in a blazing fire...” - (Acts
7:30, “NOVA VULGATA – BIBLIORUM SACORUM EDITIO,” or “The New
Common [Version] – Bible, Sacred Edition,” Translated by
Matt13weedhacker 12/06/12.)
