The Watchtower, “When Was Ancient Jerusalem Destroyed?-Part Two, box 'What Does VAT 4956 Really Say?'”

1 de noviembre de 2011 · pp.26-27 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania

“(5) In 1988, Sachs and Hunger published the text as it actually reads, with a “9.” (6) Yet, they preserve the alteration in their English translation, calling the “9th” an “error for: 8th.””

The organisation's account of the editorial history of line 3 of VAT 4956. Its description of what Sachs and Hunger printed is accurate; the disagreement is over whether the emendation is justified.

Nota de procedencia y verificación

Nota de confianza. Read in the Watchtower Online Library text on 19 September 2026. The box carries the marker “[Box/Pictures on pages 26, 27]” and is headed “WHAT DOES VAT 4956 REALLY SAY?” Items (5) and (6) are the last two of a numbered list of six and are quoted here with their numbers. The published edition reproduced by the electronic Babylonian Library does print the 9 with the note “(error for: 8th)”, so this description checks out.

electronic Babylonian Library (eBL), fragment VAT.4956, “Astronomical diary for year 37 of Nebuchadnezzar II, obverse line 3”

1988 · pp.46-53 (ADART I, No. -567) · Abraham J. Sachs and Hermann Hunger (edition); Reinhard Pirngruber (digital edition) · Oesterreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften, Vienna (print edition)

“Night of the 9th (error for: 8th), beginning of the night, the moon stood 1 cubit in front of the hind leg of the Lion (= β Virginis).”

This is the line on which the Watch Tower's 2011 argument turns. The published edition prints the tablet's '9th' and marks it as a scribal error for the 8th; the editors do not silently alter the text.

Nota de confianza. Read in the eBL API record downloaded on 19 September 2026. The transliteration shows the number as written and the English translation carries the editorial note “(error for: 8th)”, exactly as the Watchtower of 1 November 2011 describes. The star name is printed by the editors as “β Virginis” and is reproduced here unchanged.
