النص السامري

التوراة السامرية (Samaritan Hebrew: ‮ࠕ‬ࠅࠓࠡࠄ ࠔࠌࠓࠉࠌ, Tōrāʾ Shamaeriym; بالعبرية: תוֹרה שַמֶרִים‎, Torah Shomronit), also called the Samaritan Pentateuch هي مصطلح يطلق علي النص التوراتي الذي يؤمن به السامريون ، وهو النص المعتمد لديهم.[1] وهذا المصطلح يقابل مصطلح التوراة العبرانية التي يؤمن بها ويعتمدها اليهود .

It dates back to one of the ancient versions of the Hebrew Bible that existed during the Second Temple period, and constitutes the entire biblical canon in Samaritanism.[1]

Some six thousand differences exist between the Samaritan and the Jewish Masoretic Text. Most are minor variations in the spelling of words or grammatical constructions, but others involve significant semantic changes, such as the uniquely Samaritan commandment to construct an altar on Mount Gerizim. Nearly two thousand of these textual variations agree with the Koine Greek Septuagint and some are shared with the Latin Vulgate. Throughout their history, Samaritans have made use of translations of the Samaritan Pentateuch into Aramaic, Greek, and Arabic, as well as liturgical and exegetical works based upon it.

It first became known to the Western world in 1631, proving the first example of the Samaritan alphabet and sparking an intense theological debate regarding its relative age versus the Masoretic Text.[2] This first published copy, much later labelled as Codex B by August von Gall, became the source of most Western critical editions of the Samaritan Pentateuch until the latter half of the 20th century; today the codex is held in the Bibliothèque nationale de France.[3]

Some Pentateuchal manuscripts discovered among the Dead Sea Scrolls have been identified as bearing a "pre-Samaritan" text type.[4][5]

Samaritan and the Samaritan Torah

Samaritans believe that God authored their Pentateuch and gave Moses the first copy along with the two tablets containing the Ten Commandments.[6] They believe that they preserve this divinely composed text uncorrupted to the present day. Samaritans commonly refer to their Pentateuch as قالب:Script/Samaritan (Qushta, Aramaic for "Truth").[6]

Samaritans include only the Pentateuch in their biblical canon.[7] They do not recognize divine authorship or inspiration in any other book in the Jewish Tanakh.[8] A Samaritan Book of Joshua partly based upon the Tanakh's Book of Joshua exists, but Samaritans regard it as a non-canonical secular historical chronicle.[9]

According to a view based on the biblical Book of Ezra (Ezra 4:11), the Samaritans are the people of Samaria who parted ways with the people of Judah (the Judahites) in the Persian period.[10] The Samaritans believe that it was not they, but the Jews, who separated from the authentic stream of the Israelite tradition and law, around the time of Eli, in the 11th century BCE. Jews have traditionally connected the origin of the Samaritans with the later events described in 2 Kings 17:24–41 claiming that the Samaritans are not related to the Israelites, but to those brought to Samaria by the Assyrians.[10]

وصول التوراة السامرية للغرب

جهل الغرب عن هذه التوراة حتى القرن السادس عشر عندما اشترى أحد المسافرين مخطوطة من دمشق. وعند السامريين (كتعريب لكلمة شومريم) فالكتاب المقدس هو الأسفار الخمسة الأولى فقط، أما مالم ينسب لموسى فلا يؤمنون به. وتختلف التوراة السامرية عن اليهودية في آلاف المواضع، وفي بعض تلك المواضع تتفق نسختهم مع النسخة اليونانية السبعينية ضد النسخة اليهودية الماسورتية التي أخذت شكلها النهائي في القرن العاشر للميلاد.

وقد ترجمها أحد علمائهم للعربية، ويلاحظ تجنبها لعبارات غير لائقة عبر إضافة كلمة (ملاك) أمام كلمة (الله) أحيانا.

والتوراة مكتوبة بأحرف أقدم من تلك الموجودة في النسخة اليهودية.

وقد لاحظ ابن القيم (في كتابه هداية الحيارى) أن الوصايا العشر عندهم مختلفة عن تلك عند اليهود، وذلك لاختلاف نسختهم عن النسخة اليهودية، في كتابه هداية الحيارى.

وقد لاحظ دارسو مخطوطات البحر الميت وجود بعض المخطوطات المشابهة لنسخ السامريين.
