1 | The Massorah? | OT general | Morant61 | 30680 | ||
Greetings Serenetime! The Massorah is an interesting feature. It appears to have been one of the earliest and first critical apparatus. However, it's value is limited for several reasons. 1) It is a relatively late addition. Most believe that the Massorah wasn't begun until almost the first century. So, it was not original to the text. 2) It is limited in effectiveness. For instance, the middle word could be the same while words around it could be changed. 3) No one text contains the entire Massorah. So, it has been pieced together from various texts. 4) It is not inspired. 5) It was only used in one text type, so it only "preserved" one possible reading. But, it is very interesting. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Greetings Tim, I have always enjoyed interacting with you. Especially because you have always enlightened me to things that I did not know. The reason has always been for my presence on the forum is for help in understanding of the Father's Word and to uplift and enlighten other's of what I've come to know. Please continue to be a friend that I can always rely on. I have never meant no disrespect to you. And if I have, I am sorry. In the LOVE of the Living Water, Serenetime | ||||||

Greetings Serenetime! No offense taken! :-) I enjoyed finding out about the Massorah and finding out more about it! I have the utmost respect for the ancient scholars who loved God's word enough to try to be accurate in it's transmission and preservation. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
