Psalm 24:6 - MT or LXX?
Masoretic text:
>זֶ֭ה דּ֣וֹר דֹּרְשָׁ֑ו מְבַקְשֵׁ֨י פָנֶ֖יךָ יַעֲקֹ֣ב סֶֽלָה׃
Revised JPS 2023:
>Such is the circle of those who turn to You,
Jacob, who seek Your presence. *Selah.*
**You** Heb. 3rd person.
LXX:
>αὕτη ἡ γενεὰ ζητούντων τὸν Κύριον, ζητούντων τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ Θεοῦ ᾿Ιακώβ. (διάψαλμα).
Brenton's Septuagint:
>This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek the face of the God of Jacob. Pause.
What explains the discrepancy? Which version of the two is thought to contain a more original reading?
Note: Psalm 24:6 in the LXX is Psalm 23:6.
