The Accuracy of Textual Transmission
The podcast discusses the accuracy of the book of Isaiah's textual transmission, particularly comparing the Great Isaiah Scroll found among the Dead Sea Scrolls with the Masoretic Text. It emphasizes that the vast majority of variants between these texts are minor, often involving simple spelling differences or inconsequential errors that do not alter meaning. The speaker argues that many of these textual variants are so minor that they often do not even appear in English translations. This suggests a high level of care and fidelity in the transmission of the text over the centuries.
