Irish museum clarifies mix-up over Israel bog text

Updated: 11:24 a.m. PT July 27, 2006

DUBLIN - An ancient Irish manuscript found in a bog last week does not refer to "wiping out Israel", the National Museum of Ireland said on Thursday, after a flood of enquiries wondering at the timing of the discovery.

The National Museum of Ireland announced on Tuesday what it said was one of the most significant Irish discoveries in decades; an ancient Psalter or Book of Psalms, written around 800 AD. It said part of Psalm 83 was legible.

In modern versions of the Bible, Psalm 83 is a lament to God over other nations' attempts to wipe out Israel and many commentators wondered at the coincidence of such a discovery at a time of heightened tension in the Middle East.

"The above mention of Psalm 83 has led to misconceptions about the revealed wording and may be a source of concern for people who believe Psalm 83 deals with 'the wiping out of Israel'," the museum said in its clarification.

The confusion arose because the manuscript uses an old Latin translation of the Bible known at the Vulgate, which numbers the psalms differently from the later King James version, the 1611 English translation from which many modern texts derive.

"The Director of the National Museum of Ireland ... would like to highlight that the text visible on the manuscript does not refer to wiping out Israel but to the 'vale of tears'," the museum said.

The vale of tears is in Psalm 84 in the King James version.

"It is hoped that this clarification will serve comfort to anyone worried by earlier reports of the content of the text," the museum said. (c) Reuters 2006. All rights reserved.

I checked my copy of St. Jerome's Vulgate translation, and sure enough, Psalm 83 in the Vulgate is what is numbered Psalm 84 in the King James Version.

Oh No! Does this mean that Goldi and the other LP propagandists will have to find some other way to mess with the heads of the fundie goobers?

Part of Psalm 83, a lament to God over other nations' attempts to wipe out Israel, is legible but the museum said the extent to which other Psalms or additional texts are preserved would only be determined by lengthy work by a team of experts.

Does anyone else think that this is INCREDIBLY pertinent, considering what is going on in the Middle East right now.

It's almost as though G-d himself thrust the words into the light of day as a reminder!

I know, Goldi, it is a true miracle, but you and I are the only ones that see it.

Pearls before swine alert.
