Commentators traditionally use a textual-critical methodology in examining Hebrew and Greek manuscripts to establish an âoriginalâ reading, frequently attributing other variants to scribal error. This book proposes a complementary-textual comparative methodology that treats each Hebrew and/or Greek manuscript with equal value, listening to each voice as a possible interpretive trajectory. This methodology is applied to the restoration of Israel in Ezekiel 36-39, initially on a micro level examining each verse for intra-linguistic and trans-linguistic variants, frequently finding exegetical reasons for variants. The macro application compares Papyrus 967 with extant manuscripts, finding the different chapter order and pericope minus (36:23c-38) due to theological reasons. This comparative methodology can be used with any study dealing with different manuscripts and versions.

"Craneâs thoroughness and detail are exemplary. It is to be hoped that his work will be a clarion call for further textual-comparative work, both in Ezekiel, and in relation to other ancient versions than the Greek." - Ross Cole, in: Colloquium 42/2 (2010)
