OK. I accept that nearly 2000 is more than "a few". But in comparison it is very few. I would suggest that there might be 200,000 places (i.e. nearly half of all the words in MT!) where LXX is not an accurate literal translation of MT (although not of course all in the Pentatuech), but in only a very small proportion of these is the LXX reading supported by the Samaritan. That was my main meaning.
