Hello George:
Sounds good to me, putting this thread, to bed.
Just for future reference, (merely as a procedural question; and not for
substantive discussion now), does the shem tov manuscript fit within the
boundaries of posting at this forum?
http://www.torahresource.com/Dutillet.html
Or does the masoretic text form the general course and scope of discussion
here?
Regards,
fred burlingame
