Given the NEB's propensity to use textual variants or conjectural emendation, a reconstruction might equally be a valid conclusion. @Nathan: I hear what you're saying. The thought occurs to me from time to time that the REB revision team suffered an NIV infection during the last 10 years of their work (1978-1989). @Peter: no, unfortunately there was no relevant note in my NEB regarding this change.

Does the NEB have any notes explaining this change? I wonder if the change was really done for literary reasons or as an attempt to reconstruct the text of these verses in the light of the variants in LXX and the Vulgate. Interesting example.
