Quotation · Deuteronomy 27:26

Go to Deuteronomy 27:26

Where the Hebrew says “cursed be he who does not confirm the words of this instruction,” Galatians says “cursed is everyone who does not remain in all the things written in the book of the law.”

Formula: γέγραπται γὰρ ὅτι “for it is written” (Galatians 3:10)

See the original texts

Greek of the New Testament: Ὅσοι γὰρ ἐξ ἔργων νόμου εἰσὶν ὑπὸ κατάραν εἰσίν γέγραπται γὰρ ὅτι Ἐπικατάρατος πᾶς ὃς οὐκ ἐμμένει πᾶσιν τοῖς γεγραμμένοις ἐν τῷ βιβλίῳ τοῦ νόμου τοῦ ποιῆσαι αὐτά

Hebrew (Masoretic text): אָרוּר אֲשֶׁר לֹא יָקִים אֶת דִּבְרֵי הַתּוֹרָה הַזֹּאת לַעֲשׂוֹת אוֹתָם וְאָמַר כָּל הָעָם אָמֵן

Septuagint (Deuteronomy 27:26 in the Septuagint numbering): Ἐπικατάρατος πᾶς ἄνθρωπος ὃς οὐκ ἐμμένει ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς λόγοις τοῦ νόμου τούτου ποιῆσαι αὐτούς. καὶ ἐροῦσιν πᾶς ὁ λᾶος Γένοιτο.
