While poking about in the first verses of Jeremiah, I came upon a Qere that
I'm having trouble making sense of. The Ketiv is
)CWRK, while the Qere is )CRK. I have to wonder if the scribes are
suggesting a different word than YCR here, or if it's just a spelling
(plene) issue. My library suffers from a remarkable paucity of things like
commentaries, so can you folks help out? If the Qere is a different
word/root, I can't seem to figure out what it is. And if it's just a matter
of plene spelling, I wonder why they thought it merited a marginal note.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
