ליטעראַטור פֿון בית שני אויף ויקרא 21:18

§ 80. Redundant … excrescence. The E.V. in Lev. 21:18 has “anything superfluous,” which prima facie would seem to be represented here by κατὰ πλεονασμὸν περιττεύσαντος. But in the LXX the word in the list of defects corresponding to the Hebrew translated as “superfluous” is ὠτότμητος, “with a split ear.” Is this one of the few cases where Philo seems somehow to have known the Hebrew? Heinemann does not notice the point.
