The Difference between the LXX and MT Quotations of Psalm 40:7[6]
The phrase "but thou hast given me an open (or digged) ear)", in MT
Psalm 40:7[6] is radically different from the corresponding LXX phrase,
"a body hast thou prepared for me" in LXX Psalm 40:7[6].

1. Specifically regarding this verse, does any one have any comments?
2. Do the Dead Sea Scrolls match the MT or the LXX quotations of this
verse (Psalm 40:7[6])?

Thank you.
