If there is one book that would have likely been subject to tampering,
it would be Isaiah, and most especially Isaiah 53. And yet the
comparison of the Great Isaiah Scroll and the Masoretic Text shows an
incredible textual agreement, with many of the non-dialect differences
simply being obvious errors in the Qumran scroll, and very few
differences
of great significance. (Main source -- Fred Miller web site).

1. Where is this Fred Miller website?


Try http://www.ao.net/~fmoeller/.


Ironically, in fact, as the article by Daniel Sapp points out.
"The LXX, 1 QIsa, and Mt Versions of Isaiah 53 and the Christian
Doctrine of Atonement" in "Jesus and the Suffering Servant - Isaiah 53
and Christian Origins" ,..... the Christians would have a great
difficulty doctrinally with the Greek text ! And not the Masoretic Text
or the DSS.

2. Can you reference the article by Daniel Sapp?

Steven/Schmuel gives the following details at https://lists.ibiblio.org/sympa/arc/b-greek/2002-December/023703.html:

The article that really hits your question on the nail-head is in..

Jesus and the Suffering Servant, Isaiah 53 and Christian Origins, 1998
Edited by William H. Bellinger Jr. and William R. Farmer..

(A collection of essays presented at the Conference on Isaiah 53
and Christian Origins held at Baylor University in February 1996.)

Chapter 11
The LXX, 1 QIsa, and MT Versions of Isaiah 53
by Daniel A. Sapp, graduate of the doctoral program at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary
