This was a question that I never expected to ask. I had been taught in class that the Masoritic points preserved the original pronunciation. I didn’t question my prof, not even years later.

But if Rolf is correct, even some of the pronunciations that we thought we knew from the Masoretes are wrong.


I think you are misunderstanding Rolf. Even he has stepped back from the position of claiming that the Masoretes invented the pronunciation distinction.

Or is your point that we don't know exactly how the Masoretic pointing should be pronounced? This is generally agreed, and is not specific to Rolf.
