Papyrus 967 is dated to the late second or early third century CE and is, aside from a missing portion of the beginning of the manuscript (Ez chs. 1-11:24), the earliest substantial witness to Ezekiel in any language, including Hebrew. P967's Ezekiel text presents significant textual divergence, particularly with respect to the Masoretic Text. The most notable features are several unique minuses of significant length, a difference in structure (placement of ch. 37 after chs. 38-39), and many details pointing to a Hebrew Vorlage which was not a proto-masoretic text. Furthermore, p967's Ezekiel text imposes important divergence with respect to the other early substantial pre-Hexaplaric Greek witness of Ezekiel, Codex B's text. Despite of the apparent significance of p967 for textual studies of Ezekiel, pre-dating Origin's Hexapla and Codex B by nearly a century, no comprehensive full-length study of its composition and linguistic quality has yet appeared and the text has not yet been translated, probably due to the protracted publication of the manuscript in four separate critical editions. The proposed project wants to address this surprising desideratum. Firstly, a synopsis, containing four parallel columns, is to be prepared (first column: MT-Ezekiel; second column: Codex B's Ezekiel text: third column: P967's Ezekiel text; fourth column: German translation of p967's Ezekiel text). P967's Ezekiel text will be provided with accentuation. With help of this edition and the translation into German, the whole text will be comprehensively presented in a "readable" manner for the first time. Its presentation together with MT-Ezekiel and Codex B's Ezekiel text and a philological and text-critical apparatus at the end of the pages should facilitate its study. Secondly, supplementing the preparation of the synopsis, p967's Ezekiel Greek text is to be systematically explored (composition, tenses/aspects/moods, style/rhetoric, semantics). The expected results will address the quality of the Greek translation (how much did the translator pay attention to the literary quality of his text?), the question of different translators of the book (how much homogeneous/inhomogeneous are the translated sections with respect to their linguistic quality?), the question of the relationship between p967 and Codex B's Ezekiel text (how much do the texts share significant linguistic features?, are they different translations/revisions/"variant literary editions"?) and the question of the Hebrew Vorlage (is the most basic norm of the translation the faithfull rendering of the Hebrew word order and syntax in all sections?).The results might influence both the study of the Book of Ezekiel as well as the study of the Septuagint in general significantly.

纸莎草纸967可以追溯到公元2世纪末或3世纪初，除了手稿开头的缺失部分(Ezchs。(1-11：24)，是任何语言中最早的以西结的主要见证者，包括希伯来语。P967‘S·伊齐基尔文本呈现出显著的文本差异，尤其是与马索里特文本的差异。最显著的特征是几个显著长度的独特减号，结构上的差异(ch的位置)。37岁以上。38-39)，以及许多细节指向希伯来语Vorlage，这不是一个原始的Masoretic文本。此外，p967‘S以西结文本与另一个早期实质性的前六面体希腊以西结见证，即食典B的文本，造成了重要的分歧。尽管p967对于以西结的考证有明显的意义，早在Origin的Hexapla和Codex B之前就有近一个世纪，但还没有出现对其组成和语言质量的全面全面研究，文本还没有被翻译，可能是由于手稿在四个独立的关键版本中的长期出版。拟议中的项目想要解决这一令人惊讶的愿望。首先，编写一份包含四个平行栏目的大纲(第一栏：Mt-Ezekiel；第二栏：食典B的以西结文本：第三栏：P967‘S以西结文本；第四栏：p967’S以西结文本的德译)。P967的S·伊齐基尔文本将带有重音。借助这个版本和德语翻译，全文将第一次以一种可读的方式全面呈现。它的介绍连同MT-Ezekiel和食典B的Ezekiel文本以及页末的语言和文本批评机构应有助于对其进行研究。其次，作为提纲准备的补充，P967‘S·伊齐基尔希腊语文本将进行系统的探索(组成、时态/体/语气、风格/修辞、语义)。预期的结果将涉及希腊语翻译的质量(译者对其文本的文学质量有多大关注？)，这本书的不同译者的问题(就其语言质量而言，翻译部分有多大程度的同质性/不均质性？)，p967与食典B的以西结文本之间的关系问题(这些文本在多大程度上有共同的语言特征？它们是不同的翻译/修订/“不同的文学版本”？)而希伯来语音节的问题(翻译的最基本规范是希伯来语词序和句法在所有部分的忠实呈现吗？)结果可能会对以西结书的研究以及整个七十年的研究产生重大影响。
