The negative is also wanting in the Septuagint, as it is in the Complutensian Polyglott; Και ηρωτον αυτον ποθεν εστιν, και το ονομα αυτον, ουκ απηγγειλεν μοι.. "And I asked him whence he was, and his name, but he did not tell me." This is also the reading of the Codex Alexandrinus; but the Septuagint in the London Polyglott, the Chaldee, Syriac, and Arabic, read the negative particle with the Hebrew Text: I asked Not his name, etc.his nameJudges 13:17, 13:18; Genesis 32:29; Luke 1:19ReciprocalExodus 3:13 - What is his name; Song of Songs 5:15 - his countenance; John 19:9 - Whence; Revelation 7:13 - whence
