Biblical Greek and post-biblical Hebrew in the minor Greek versions. On the verb συνετίζω “to render intelligent” in a scholion on Gen 3:5, 7
Résumé
The rendering of the phrase “to open (the eyes)” in Gen 3:5, 7 with the verb συνετίζω “to render (the eyes) intelligent,” instead of the Septuagint’s διανοίγνυμι “to open,” can with some probability be attributed to Symmachus, in spite of the attribution to Theodotion in codex M and some later Septuagint manuscripts. The exegetical motivation of the rendering may be complex, with the change in meaning of the Hebrew verb פ קח , from “to open” to “to make open-minded” playing an important part.
