Addendum to my Elohim Sitchin Searches Posted: 11 Jul 2009 03:04 PM PDT I recently had a request from a user of our software (Logos/Libronix) for the search I created as part of the video Imade on elohim in the Hebrew Bible–which shows point-blank that Zecharia Sitchin is completely wrong with respect to what he says about elohim. Alas, I deleted my search and can’t reproduce it exactly since the video cuts off a few lines of it. But not to worry for anyone out there who would like the searches (and who have the software, obviously). Below are two new searches. I’ve simplified the parameters a bit, and so the result numbers aren’t exactly what the video shows. I don’t feel like redoing the video (the site is what needs my attention). Just click on the links and you’ll be able to donwload the files in Libronix. Put them at My Documents/Libronix DLS/SyntaxQueries. If you don’t have the syntax query folder, it’s because you never saved one of your own (you’ll have to go to Search>Syntax Search in Libronix and make one up and save it to first create that folder). Search 1: Elohim as a noun and the subject of a third masculine singular finite verb (367 occurrences). Download the file HERE by right clicking and choosing “Save Link As”. Make sure you put it in the folder described above AND that the extension of the file is *.lbxstq (downloading it off the blog and saving may change it to a text file, which is no good in Libronix). Search 2: same as above but I added ha-elohim as a subject (elohim + definite article; 465 occurrences). Download the file HERE by right clicking and choosing “Save Link As”. Make sure you put it in the folder described above AND that the extension of the file is *.lbxstq (downloading it off the blog and saving may change it to a text file, which is no good in Libronix).

[TC-Alternate-list] Codex Sinaiticus, Tischendorf, and J Rendel Harris

Codex Sinaiticus is online, and now the whole high-speed-connected world can see the manuscript, right down to the stichoi-notes!
It is inevitable that the new online publication will lead many viewers to read accounts about how Tischendorf "rescued" the codex from the monks at St. Catherine's. So I take this opportunity to say:
Tischendorf's story is not true.
The codex was essentially stolen. It was borrowed under the pretense that Tischendorf would return it on request.
As for Tischendorf's claim that he rescued part of the manuscript from a trash-basket, and that the basket's contents were about to be burned -- J. Rendel Harris has some interesting things to say about that in the 1908 February issue of The Expositor, which is available to download online, in the course of his article/review, "Dr. Gregory on the Canon and Text of the New Testament." Whereas Gregory took Tischendorf's side entirely, Harris is the complete opposite.
J. Rendel Harris was uniquely qualified to judge the plausibility of Tischendorf's claims, having visited St. Catherine's monastery himself. And Harris, as you will see when you read his remarks, provides good reasons to reject Tischendorf's version of events. Yet that fabrication -- whether promoted innocently, or with calculation, God knows -- is still being promoted.
This is an opportune moment for the British Library to do the right thing and offer to return Codex Sinaiticus to St. Catherine's Monastery. There has been a little bit of publicity about the online release of the photographs. It would be more, and better, publicity, in my book, if the people in charge at the BL would admit that Codex Sinaiticus was essentially stolen, and offer to return it to its rightful owners at St. Catherine's Monastery.
Yours in Christ,
James Snapp, Jr.
