And thus the importance of the Dead Sea Scrolls as they are the most ancient source and overwhelmingly don’t agree with the Masoretic Text and specifically in key areas.
And there isn’t one “The Masoretic Text “ anyway.
Lastly, the MT texts all descend from corrupted texts so given this we have the far more reliable and ancient DSS, the Samaritan Pentateuch, the Aramaic Targums, the Peshitta, the Codex Vaticanus, Sinaiticus, etc, so no need for the MT.
Been reading about the International Standard Version which “ In late 2007, the ISV Foundation of Paramount, California, announced commencement of a collaborative effort with Dr. Peter Flint, Canada Research Chair in Dead Sea Scrolls Studies of Trinity Western University (Langley, BC Canada) to produce a comprehensive set of footnotes for the International Standard Version documenting the variants between the biblical manuscripts of the Dead Sea Scrolls and that of the Massoretic Text of the Hebrew Scriptures. In early May 2008, the ISV Foundation reached a preliminary agreement by which scholars associated with Dr. Flint and his colleague Dr. Eugene Ulrich (Notre Dame University) would produce footnotes for the ISV concerning approximately 90 variants between the DSS and the MT contained in the Psalms and Proverbs.”
