Deut 22:5 marks the single instance of a prohibition of transvestitism in the Bible, and in its whole cultural milieu. The context in which it is situated suggests that it may have been inserted there as an addition, after the Babylonian captivity. That helps to narrow down the range of speculations as to the original Sitz im Leben of the law, and enables us to read it most of all within the canonical framework of the entirety of the Pentateuch. Hence, the precept pertains mainly to the principle of division of the human nature into the two sexes (Gen 1–2), the principle of retaining the order of creation (by not mixing kinds; Lev 19:19; Deut 22:9–11), and of keeping the procreational power, referred to here predominantly to masculinity (Gen 5:1–3; cf. Gen 1:28; 9:1.7).

According to Deut 7:7-10, love is at the root of the relationship of God Jahweh with Israel. Mutual love is inscribed in the covenant between Jahweh and his people. Jahwe’s love for Israel and its characteristics can only be explained by the nature of God. Faithful to the promises given to the fathers of Israel, God shows love to Israel. In the name of that love He chooses Israel from other nations and accompanies him in his history. Out of love He performs great works for Israel and demonstrates His power in the destruction of the enemies who hate Him. The inhabitants of the Persian province of Yehud should be considered as the first recipients of the parenesis of Deut 7:7-10. For them, the reminder of the essence of Jahweh’s love, its constancy and consequences, constituted guidance and instruction in the effort of religious-national postexilic revival and restoration. In addition, the lesson of Deut 7:7-10, according to its place in the structure of the Book of Deuteronomy, provided the basis and motivation for remaining faithful to Jahweh. It encouraged to love Him “with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your strength” (Deut 6:5).

The article discusses the translation of the clean animals list – wild, undomesticated ruminants – found in the Septuagint, Deut 14:5. It is noticeable that the translators who offered equivalents for the Hebrew names of herbivores inhabiting Palestine made use of such exotic fauna specimens like the giraffe. And that poses a question of what motivated the Alexandrian translators to introduce some animals to their rendition that were barely identifiable – or even entirely unidentifiable – in the Egyptian environment. This paper attempts to explain the ensuing confusion. Based on the translated list of clean ruminants, the article also brings up matters related to the ancient tradition of the dating of the Septuagint.

W artykule zostaje poruszona kwestia przekładu w Septuagincie listy zwierząt czystych, dziko żyjących kopytnych przeżuwaczy, zamieszczonej w Pwt 14,5. Zauważalny jest fakt, że tłumacze, podając ekwiwalenty dla hebrajskich nazw roślinożerców występujących w Palestynie, posłużyli się tak egzotycznymi przedstawicielami fauny jak żyrafa. W związku z tym nasuwa się pytanie, czym kierowali się aleksandryjscy tłumacze, wprowadzając do swego przekładu słabo bądź w ogóle nieidentyfikowalne w egipskim środowisku zwierzęta. W artykule podjęto próbę wyjaśnienia tego zamierzenia. Na podstawie przekładu listy czystych przeżuwaczy poruszono także kwestie związane ze starożytną tradycją datacji powstania Septuaginty.
