I didn't say anything about the Samaritan text, and as I indicated in another post on this thread, I would not be surprised to learn that it does exist in digitized format. As for whether it can pass some sort of test as well or better than any particular version of the Masoretic text, you'll have to forgive me if I reserve judgement. What if some Samaritans find all sorts of great connections to *their* leaders, yahrtzeits, etc? Whatever the case, the Samaritan text has nothing to do with the issues I posted. -- ----------------------- Jack F. Love Opinions expressed are mine alone, unless you happen to agree
