The question for us today is, will we be like the majority of Israel and continue to look in fear at the giants in the land and urge our fellow Christians to be "realistic," or will we be like Joshua and Caleb and faithfully follow our king, trusting to fulfill every one of his promises completely? | | The Following User Says Thank You to shackleton For This Useful Post: | |

Thanks for the info. I wonder if this is the raw text, or, if they cleaned it up?

They say there on the site "Its heavily corrected text is of outstanding importance for the history of the Bible and the manuscript - the oldest substantial book to survive Antiquity - is of supreme importance for the history of the book."
What do they mean by that?

What do they mean by that? | I think they're referring to all the correctors throughout its history. There were quite a few of them. H.J.M. Milne & T.C. Skeat of the British Museum wrote a book detailing this in Scribes and Correctors of Codex Sinaiticus (London, 1938)
It's really only useful for historical purposes.
