For Mr. Michaels

You are indeed correct that there are a small number of discrepancies in vowel letters. None of these, however, change the meanings of words. In Hebrew, a word can be spelled with all its vowels, or without--the meaning of the word does not change.

At any rate, a discrepancy of only 11 letters between communities worldwide in scrolls written by hand over a 3300 year history is certainly outstanding and testimony to the veracity of tradition.
