Why, as a Christian, would I be the least bit interested in what a non-Christian has to say about “inaccuracies” in the Bible? You either believe it to be the word of God or you don’t. If you believe it to be the word of God, then, yes things do make sense and one can see the wonders of the book. If you don’t believe it to be the word of God it will look like it’s riddled with errors.
Sinful man will never see the glory of God.

I wonder why you are distorting the thread.
No where the artcile deny the word of God
Prof Tov observations
The article is talking about man who is infallible!
You might say we had no really good evidence of what the Hebrew Bible looked like, until the discoveries of Qumran.
It turns out that our knowledge was rather good, but we had no evidence in our hands.
So, the first time that we were able to see what an ancient Hebrew Bible looked like was after these documents were found near the Dead Sea.
We now know what is meant by a copy of the Hebrew Bible from early periods.
We now know that the text was written in a scroll, and when we say scroll, we really mean something which was rolled.
We mean that these were sheets of leather sewn to each other or glued to each other, on each of which you could have a number of columns of writing.
Each column is what we would probably call a page, and so normally you’d have three or four columns on each sheet, with a fixed number of lines.
We now see what the text looked like.
We see that there are scribes who wrote well, and we see that there are scribes who were rather sloppy.
We simply must remember that this is a human scribe of blood and flesh who wrote this scroll and hence produced a product which, in his case, was not a good product.
Even Jesus was aware of error and bias
They were condemned as a class by the Lord for their unrighteousness (”Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!” in Matt. 23:39).
At least now for long!
