 Consult the Mishnah. And about the kleinichkeiten, consult Tuv.
  With all the myriad textual differences both in origimal langaue and 
translations, no significant change in historical narrative emerged. Amazing. 
 One can not consider the new detail about Nahash the Ammonite of historical 
weight.
  As for the dating of the Heb. texts of the DSS in comparison with the 
Samaritan: already the so called pre - Samaritan displays grammatical 
harmonizations which are really "corrections" of earlier, unusal grammatical 
forms that had a prior existence and which exist to this day in the MT.

I would disagree with that. Take for example the Mishnaic chapter "Arba avot 
neziqin" - The 4 main categories of damages - the goring ox, the cistern, the 
"mav(eh" and fire.
The 3rd refers to Ex, 22: 4, and is based on a textual error - b(h for b(r. 
The text the Tannaim had before them was closer to the Samarotan and Qumran.
The Amoraim no longer had that text and had the devil of a timew trying to 
figure out what was mav(eh. The discussion ended in no decision.
Sincerely,

Yigal,

PRD is most commonly used when people separate from each 
other but there are instances when a location is involved.  
In Gen 2:10 where the river flowing through Eden is 
separated (yipared) or divided into four head(waters).  In 
Judges and Genesis the niphal is used.  Gen 10:5 has lands 
being divided (niperedu).  But there are no cases of a 
person being separated from a land.  It always seems to be 
like separated from like, land from land, person from 
person.
