No proof he would do that or actually did that - and why would he?

To: Its All Over Except ...

You conveniently-ignore the main body of my comment. To-wit:

“The oldest copies of the Masoretic Text only date back to the 10th century, nearly 1000 years after the time of Christ.”

Thus the Old Testament inscription you reference in the OP is wrong and the debate about the image moot.

I’m not going to comment further. Obviously this is an area of interest for you, but I refuse to wade into a debate (or argument) about a text which had been so heavily modified over those early centuries that this is a perfect example of extracting truth from the OT texts and being honest enough to concede that some content was “filler”.
