Dear Rolf,
I find this nothing short of fascinating! Please share any information you
have when and if Tov's conclusions are published in further detail.
Now, help me understand this a little more since I have never read
Pietersma's thesis nor Tov's book and I do not have access to them in a
short timeframe. Does Pietersma claim that TWi YHWH (and not TWi KURIWi) in
8HevXIIgr means KURIWi was there initially and not YHWH? And it was this
that Tov claimed was wrong?
Also, thank you for sharing the supporting evidence from the Syriac MSS.
They do parallel Howard's argument.
Sincerely,
Wes Williams
