Dear Charles:

What???

I don’t think disagreeing with the
Masoretes equals beating up on them. As for
my personal opinion, I think they did a
bang up job with the materials that they
had. Where I disagree with them, it is
where I think the traditions for
pronunciations no longer reflect the
original pronunciation of Biblical Hebew
and/or the specific maaning of a passage.
These traditions predate the Masoretes by
centuries, some close to a millennium.

Don’t blame the Masoretes for faithfully
recording something that was not of their
making.

Karl W. Randolph.
