Shalom,
In addition to my previous posting in which I mentioned that the final
commandment in Exod. 20:17 has halfway an extra setuma in Codex
Leningradensis (in contrast to BHS, which does not list it), it should
be mentioned that this setuma is also listed by Maimonides. Since his
listings generally are thought to be based on the Allepo Codex, this is
an important testimony regarding the consistency of this Masoretic
subdivision.
Cf. Ch. Perrot, “Petuchot et Setumot: Etude sur les Alineas du
Pentateuque”, RB 76 (1969) 50-91;
