PSALM 40:6 EARS OR BODY OR IS IT THE SAME?
By: doug Date: March 4, 2026, 1:07 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
These verses give us pause to explain why in Psalm 40:6 the KJV
says ears while the Septuagint doesn't, it says body.
The discrepancies found in these verses can b reconciled.
[Psalm 40:6 KJV] "Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire;
mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast
thou not required."
Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not; but a body hast thou
prepared me: whole-burnt-offering and [sacrifice] for sin thou
didst not require.
Psalm 40:6 Septuagint
The Septuagint is a collection from 70-72 translations? That's
why LXX is used, it's Latin for 70.
I will compare these two LLX translations; Brenton's and
ARalph's.
Brenton's, LLX reads.............Sacrifice and offering thou
wouldest not; but a body hast thou prepared me:
whole-burnt-offering and sacrifice for sin thou didst not
require.
The King James used the Masoretic text, which
reads...........Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire;
mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast
thou not required
Of note is that ARalph's LLX says ears, not body, just as the
King James does. ARalph's translation................
θυσίαν καὶ
προσφορὰν
οὐκ
ἠθέλησας
ὠτία δὲ
κατηρτίσω
μοι
ὁλοκαύτωμα
καὶ περὶ
ἁμαρτίας
οὐκ ᾔτησας
Significantly, this does not include the word body
(Σῶμα), but rather ears also
(ὠτία).
Why do some translations/texts say ears and others say body? A
possible explanation is that ears by synecdoche represents the
body.
Here is a definition of synecdoche ........a figure of speech in
which a part is made to represent the whole or vice versa, as in
Cleveland won by six runs (meaning “Cleveland's baseball team”).
"We see examples of the New Testament expanding the Old
Testament via synecdoche - that is, by expanding one of the
original words given in the Old Testament as a part, to make it
stand for a broader whole."
A clear example of this is Exodus 20:12..............[Exodus
20:12 KJV] "Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may
be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth
thee."................This is quoted in Ephesians
6:2-3..................[Ephesians 6:2 KJV] "Honour thy father
and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)"
[Ephesians 6:3 KJV] "That it may be well with thee, and thou
mayest live long on the earth."..............."The land that God
gave the Israelites extended to the Euphrates; yet here Paul -
by inspiration of the Holy Spirit - expands the quotation to
cover the whole earth. Here a part (the land) represents the
whole (the earth)."
Another example is Genesis 15:7, where Abraham is said to
inherit the land of Canaan:..............[Genesis 15:7 KJV] "And
he said unto him, I [am] the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of
the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit
it.".............."Here, Abraham receives the land by inheriting
it, which logically makes him the heir of Canaan. Yet in Romans
4:13, we read that Abraham is the heir of the
world:"................[Romans 4:13 KJV] "For the promise, that
he should be the heir of the world, [was] not to Abraham, or to
his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of
faith."............."again the part (the land) expressed the
whole (the world)."
I think the use of synecdoche satisfactorily explains why in
these verses, as others found in scripture, we see variation of
cited old testament passages in the new testament and Pauline
epistles.
