As for biblical inerrancy, I have always heard more from Christians than from Jews. | |

The answer to that is complicated, like most things in Judaism. But I don't understand what you mean by "why they did not pass to the Masoretic pattern that we have in the Aleppo and Leningrad the form etc". The verses with the word "tents" appear, to my knowledge, in all Masoretic MSS. That means that the change is ancient. According to the sources I brought, it's so ancient that this is how it was first written in the years BCE. | |
| Nov 7, 2022 at 17:59 | comment | added | Thales | I asked how Judaism recognizes this situation in the face of the idea of “biblical inerrancy”. If there are several ways to understand these texts in the light of these variants by the tradition that Moses passed on these expressions, it remains to be seen why they did not pass to the Masoretic pattern that we have in Aleppo and Leningrad the form that brings God or gods in the texts, what would be the problem? Unless the intention is theological to preserve someone's honor or to avoid encouraging a bad practice. | |
