I was curious of the title of Abraham in Gen 23:6
Ge 23:6 Hear us, my lord: thou art a mighty prince among us: in the choice of our sepulchres bury thy dead; none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest bury thy dead.
The Hebrew scripture uses Prince, but the Greek uses king. I have read the Syriac uses the Hebrew probably second century. I assume the the Syriac uses Prince also. I am not sure when the modern Hebrew version was finished for copy. I know the original Hebrew is lost.
Does anyone know?
