Hebrew Psalm 151 two-poem Vorlage behind the Greek Psalm 151 v1 ยท Draft
A Qumran-controlled Hebrew source relation behind a shorter Greek psalm.
Epistemic status
This article describes an entity that is not directly attested as one complete stable book form: the two-poem Hebrew source relation behind the Greek Psalm 151. Hebrew Qumran witnesses are attested; the inferred object is the combined or compressed Vorlage process.
Summary
Van Rooy's discussion reports that Qumran Psalm 151A underlies the first part of LXX Psalm 151 and that Psalm 151B relates to the Greek ending. The two passages were later combined, though it remains uncertain whether that combination already existed in Hebrew.
What is being inferred
The inferred entity is the two-poem Hebrew Vorlage or source relation behind the Greek Psalm 151.
What is attested
The attested surfaces include Qumran Hebrew Psalm 151 material, the Septuagint Psalm 151, and later Syriac transmission.
Why infer this entity
When two Hebrew compositions map onto one shorter Greek psalm, the navigable Inferpedia object is the missing transmission stage that joined or compressed them.
Evidence ledger
- Qumran Psalm 151A underlies the LXX opening section.
- Qumran Psalm 151B relates to the LXX ending.
- The two passages were later combined.
- SOTS notes the Hebrew Qumran discovery and the absence from the Masoretic text.
- Van Rooy reports uncertainty over whether the combined stage already existed in Hebrew.
Counterarguments
This is not a lost Psalm 151 article. Hebrew material survives at Qumran, and the inferred item is the source relationship behind the Greek form.
Confidence scores
Direct attestation 70; existence warrant 84; specificity 80; reconstruction dependence 68; counterevidence 24.
What would change the score
A critical side-by-side apparatus for 11QPsa, the LXX, and Syriac Psalm 151 would raise specificity. Evidence that the combination occurred only in Greek translation would narrow the article title.
Why this candidate exists
Codex-native Judaism category traversal selected a Hebrew/Syriac/Greek apocryphal psalm transmission problem with Qumran control.

Arguments
Existing inferon 465 supports an L2 inferred candidate for Hebrew Psalm 151 two-poem Vorlage behind the Greek Psalm 151; this remains below publication and is not direct attestation.

A Hebrew Psalm 151 two-poem Vorlage behind the Greek Psalm 151 is warranted as a draft inferred-source article.
The source relation is strong, but the article remains draft because the combined Vorlage may have emerged in Hebrew or during Greek translation.
