From: James Read[Steve Miller] James,
Hi Steve,
you state that MT is generally better than LXX. What do you base this
on? I've been looking into this a lot recently. We don't even know
what the LXX originally looked like and so, personally, I find it more
useful to discuss specific texts like the codex vaticanus and the
codex sinaiticus. The MT frequently mistakes gender (confuses he with
she). How confidence building is that?

I thought it was generally accepted that the MT is much more accurate than
the LXX. One strong reason is that the LXX is a translation. Nevertheless
there are many places where the LXX reading is correct and the MT has an
error.
