(λαμά, Matthew 27:46, which is also read in the best MSS. at Mark 15:34, where the received text has λάμμα; the Heb. has both forms, לָמָה and לָמָּה, lam'mah, for what; the Syriac version has lemono), a term signifying why (as the context explains it, ἱνατί, by which also the Sept. interprets), quoted by our Saviour on1 the cross from Psalms 22:1 [2 in the Hebrew].
