Interpolations to Harmonize Between Books

  • Shemot 18:25 (Devarim 1:9-15,16-18), Shemot 20:19 (Devarim 5:21-24), Shemot 20:21 (Devarim 5:25-30), and Shemot 32:10 (Devarim 9:20).
  • Bemidbar 10:10 (Devarim 1:6-8), Bemidbar 12:16 (Devarim 1:20-23), Bemidbar 13:33 (Devarim 1:27-33), Bemidbar 14:45 (Devarim 1:44), Bemidbar 20:13 (Devarim 3:23-28), Bemidbar 21:12 (Devarim 2:16), Bemidbar 21:20 (Devarim 2:24), Bemidbar 21:22 (Devarim 2:26-29), Bemidbar 27:23 (Devarim 3:21-22)
  • Devarim 2:7 (Bemidbar 20:14,17), Devarim 10:6 (Bemidbar 33:31-38)
  • [Some claim that MT is also harmonizing in Shemot 32:10, i.e. 4Q22 and SP > MT > LXX. However, why would MT harmonize only in one verse in all of Torah? Also, if it was harmonizing it should have read רב ועצום like in Devarim? Also ויחר אפי fits well with 32:11 יחרה אפך.]
  • [Other parallels already in Masoretic Text – Devarim 1:35-36 (Bemidbar 14:20-24), Devarim 1:37-40 (Bemidbar 14:30-31, 20:12), Devarim 1:41 (Bemidbar 14:40), Devarim 1:42 (Bemidbar 14:42), Devarim 2:13 (Bemidbar 21:12), Devarim 3:2 (Bemidbar 21:34), Devarim 3:18 (Bemidbar 32:1-30), Devarim 4:10 (Shemot 19:10), Devarim 9:12 (Shemot 32:7), Devarim 9:13 (Shemot 32:9), Devarim 9:23 (Bemidbar 10:10), Devarim 9:26-29 (Shemot 31:11-12), Devarim 10:1-2 (Shemot 34:1), Devarim 10:11 (Shemot 32:34, 33:1)]
