that they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all the nations who are called by my name," says Yahweh who does this.
"The ancient Greek [Septuagint] translation rendered this verse as follows: ’That the rest of mankind may seek [the LORD], and all the nations upon whom my name is called, saith the LORD, who does all these things.’ Strange as it may seem to those who are unfamiliar with the Hebrew language, the Hebrew text may be rendered this way, with little more than the change of one letter. The corruption of this letter must have occurred after the time of the apostles, for James thus quoted the verse at the Jerusalem Council, and based his decision upon it (Acts 15:14-17). There were learned men present, some of them hostile to his view, who would certainly have shouted him down if he had based his decision upon a reading different from that which existed in the then current Hebrew manuscripts."
