I will have to look into Calvin’s remark, “As all the Hebrew Bibles at this day, without exception, have this reading [as a lion –SMR], I would have had great hesitation in departing from a reading which they all support, were it not…”
For, as I said above, the Ben Chayyim edition reads “pierced”, and it was published in 1525. I have read some Jews suspected it as Jacob Ben Chayyim (I have seen him called by the first name Abraham also) converted to Christ.
I have the TBS edition of the Ben Chayyim text and it reads “pierced”. I would imagine it was available to Calvin.
