Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Alternative Readings in the Hebrew of the Books of Samuel
But since no work of a more extensive sort along this line has appeared, it is the purpose of this investigation of the alternative readings in the Hebrew of the Books of Samuel to Show: That the marginal notes commonly called Qere' are usually not corrections, but were made rather to record variant readings.
That the consonant text frequently contains a com bination of two alternative readings, even Where the Massoretic margin is silent.
That certain general rules have been followed in the making of these combinations.
