My error, as I have already noted.

The e-text of BHS I use puts both the Kethiv-Qere in the text one in
brackets. This is very confusing to one who spends the majority of his time
using a critical edition of the GNT where brackets are used for dubious
readings not alternative readings. The BHS apparatus cleared up the issue
once I figured it out.

Who does? When you are "up against the wall" you look at ALL the evidence.
