forms date to the centuries before the common era as we know from Dead Sea
Scrolls, the Greek and Latin evidence, Josephus and rabbinic sources"...
Excuse me, but this is not clear. Could you explain what you mean?>>>> very simple that are the sources we have in ancient scrolls and CE books, a few of which might date to the third century, but most dates from the 2nd-1st century BCE and onwards.

(you did make clear that this doesn't refer to the MT -- a different matter, which in itself can be divided into consonantal text and vocalization. As for the first, the good people who judge it to be mediaeval forget that the Mishnah, when quoting biblical texts, is practically using the MT).
Finally, wishing you a full and speedy recovery,
Uri
