What does it mean when God "walks" or "stretches out a hand," and what becomes of such images in Greek? This book offers the first systematic study of anthropomorphism in the Septuagint Pentateuch. It tests the common claim that translators suppressed human-like depictions of God. Drawing on a full inventory of passages and evidence from multiple textual traditions as well as extrabiblical Greek, it shows a more complex picture: some images shift, many remain, none follow a single agenda. This study, marked by its consistent and text-driven approach, reveals how language, culture, and theology interact, and why these vivid, "humanlike" portrayals of God still matter.
