NT Quotations of the OT — Three-Way Text Comparison¶

This notebook demonstrates Feature #1: comparing how the NT quotes the OT against the original Hebrew (MT) and the LXX Greek.

Data source: OpenBible.info cross-references (CC-BY), distributed via scrollmapper.
Each pair has a vote score reflecting community consensus on the strength of the connection:

• votes >= 10 — possible allusion
• votes >= 50 — probable quotation/strong allusion
• votes >= 100 — near-certain direct quotation

7. Word-Level Alignment: Does the NT Follow the LXX or the MT?¶

When NT authors quote the OT, they sometimes follow the LXX word-for-word, sometimes diverge toward the Hebrew MT, and sometimes use independent renderings. The quotation_align module traces this word-by-word, using IBM Model 1 alignment to score each NT Greek word as:

• LXX — the NT word appears in the LXX rendering of the same OT verse
• MT-diverge — the NT word corresponds to the Hebrew but differs from the LXX
• neutral — function word or unresolved

This reveals the NT author's translation decisions at the word level.
