Matthew 22:32


Footnote:

42

The earliest manuscripts, the more reliable ones,

οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ Θεὸς νεκρῶν ἀλλὰ ζώντων 

equates to "the God, he is not of dead ones, but of living ones"

Because this was a bit too astonishing to swallow, some copyists added a second word "God":

Οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ θεὸς θεὸς νεκρῶν, ἀλλὰ ζώντων

which equates to "God is not a God of...."

Exodus 3:6 uses the extended "I" pronoun self of mine אנכי

See note on אנכי from Genesis 3:10.
