Hi Mark,

With the help of Scott's _A Simplified Guide to the BHS_ I would say the
first note means that several Medieval manuscripts have bkl in the side
margin (Masora parva) labelled as a sebir (perhaps seber?) or supposed
correction.  You may see an example of this seber designation in the BHS at
Gen 19:23.  The second note means that several (other) Medieval manuscipts
have wbkl in the biblical text proper.  The BHS does not indicate exactly
which manuscripts.  The editors have to limit their commentary due to the
constraints of space.

Not much help, I know, but maybe a little...;-)

Shalom,
Bryan
