Hi again, Beth!

In his book, The King James Version Defended, Dr. D.A. Waite asserts that in Kittel's 1937 Biblia Hebraica and the 1967 Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia "there are still about fifteen to twenty suggested changes in the Hebrew text placed in the footnotes on each page. This amounts also to about 20,000 to 30,000 suggested changes throughout Old Testament." (p. 23)

Seeing as Jesus said, "Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law till all be fulfilled" (Matt 5:18), and a little earlier in Matt 4:4, indicating that "by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God" man shall live, we then might reasonably expect the Almighty to have preserved this Old Testament Scripture according to His word.

It seems Waite has done a good bit of research on these texts. I would suggest contacting him, and asking if he knows of anyone who has done what you are seeking. I know he recently published Jack Moorman's work doing just this thing on the Greek NT text -- which is primarily for translators.

If you do this, and get any info, please share it with us!

This is Dr. Waite's contact info:
