Companion translation and editorial notes: Saints Translation: Micah 1–7 [V2]

Final editorial review

Review completed: Sep 11, 2026

All one hundred five Greek and one hundred five Hebrew running-text units and the complete comparison notes were checked against the declared Rahlfs–Hanhart and BHS publisher texts. Source chapter counts are sixteen, thirteen, twelve, fourteen, fourteen, sixteen and twenty. Source 4:14 corresponds to common English 5:1; source 5:1–14 corresponds to common English 5:2–15. Every source unit and cross-verse clause remains present.

The Greek wording at 3:8 now makes the genitives of judgment and might explicit in their connection with spirit. The active I fill and difficult unless construction remain distinct from the Hebrew affirmation. Other unresolved expressions remain explicitly provisional in the companion.

Rashi’s registered comments and Augustine, City of God XVIII.30, were verified in their stated presentations. Augustine quotes connected passages at 4:1–early 4:3 and 5:1–3; his English quotation differs at points from the selected Greek. Matthew’s Bethlehem quotation and household-division reuse retain their own wording and do not rewrite Micah. Full textual and reception notes remain in the linked companion.

Critical apparatus, manuscript collation, exhaustive reception and independent specialist certification are not claimed.
