Undoubtedly, the exchange between the 2nd person singular and the 2nd person plural in Moses’ farewell address to the Israelites is one of the most enigmatic features of the book of Deuteronomy. This variation, which is known under the technical term ‘Numeruswechsel’, has not yet been systematically studied at the level of its ‘reception’ in the Septuagint (LXX).
In this contribution, an analysis is made of all the cases of the ‘Numeruswechsel’ in the Hebrew (Massoretic Text, Qumran and Samaritan Pentateuch) and Greek (LXX) textual witnesses of the 1st chapter of the book of Deuteronomy. Above all, it points out the complexity of the problem, demonstrating that the problem of the ‘Numeruswechsel’ largely surpasses the variation between 2nd person plural and singular in Moses’ speech to the Israelites.
