In Isaiah 9:7 the letter mem has occurred in the middle of word, but the 
form is final. Anybody have explications?

Kerry asks:
A scribal goof? I just finished reading P. Kyle McCarter's book "Textual 
Criticism: Recovering the Text of the Hebrew Bible," and he notes many such 
occurrances, as far as scribal goofs go.
