Hebrew Voices #144 – The Scribe of the Leningrad Codex
You are listening to Hebrew Voices with Nehemia Gordon. Thank you for supporting Nehemia Gordon's Makor Hebrew Foundation. Learn more at NehemiasWall.com.
Nehemia: So, we have this thing in the Leningrad Codex which is controversial, but you discover that in this other manuscript written by the same scribe you have this unique feature, this unique linguistic variation. That's incredible! I mean that was definitive proof, I think, along with all the other paratextual features, that you have this unique reading.
Dr Phillips: Yeah.
Nehemia: That’s amazing! That is huge!
Nehemia: Shalom, and welcome to Hebrew Voices. I am at Tyndale House in Cambridge, England, with Dr. Kim Phillips. Shalom, Kim!
Dr Phillips: Shalom, ma shlomcha?
Nehemia: Beseder. Wow, you speak Hebrew! Now, Tyndale House is not a Jewish institution. What is Tyndale House?
Dr Phillips: Tyndale House is an Evangelical Research Institute in the heart of Cambridge where we focus on biblical studies. We have one of the world's leading biblical studies libraries, and scholars of any faith or none are welcome to come and work in our library. We try to stock the leading staff, focusing just on biblical studies, and so by having that fairly narrow focus we can maintain the edge on keeping everything up to date.

At approx. 23m26s, regarding 1 Samuel 30:29 , it sounds as if there might have originally been *FOUR* shva’s in a row, and then the second one was changed to a patach (which change you discovered using a microscope) to become as it is now – 1 shva, 1 patach, then 2 shva’s. Is this correct??
