There are other good examples of very well preserved mss. and amulets

And not only there but the whole text of CL. So, applying this fact only
to Isaiah 7:14 and 8:8 is misleading.
Also, we have the fact that BHS is based on CL, so it is your opinion that
all the specialists that worked on BHK and BHS are wrong and that they
should write
one word?

See above. Only 1QIsa^a stands against my statement. However, dont you
think that in 8:8 it is grammatically wrong to write it as a name?
