The Fifteen Extraordinary
Points of the Sopherim.
This Is Appendix
31 From The Companion Bible.
There
are fifteen words which present an abnormal appearance in the printed Hebrew
Bibles. These are of the utmost importance, as they represent the most ancient
result of Textual Criticism on the part of the Sopherim.
Ten of these words are in the Pentateuch, and five occur in
the Prophets and Hagiographa.
Some are without effect as to translation or interpretation;
others are more important, and will be noted in the passages where they occur.
The following is the list. (For further information see Dr. Ginsburg's Introdution
to the Hebrew Bible, pages 318-34):
Genesis 16:5.
18:9.
19:33,35.
