Why do you think the Masoretic text and the biblical manuscripts of the Dead Sea scrolls were so similar despite the 1000 year gap between the time they both were compiled?what does this tell us about the chain of transmission of the Hebrew bible?

Answers:

Answer 1: Many have attributed the consistency between biblical manuscripts  each written a century apart, to the integrity of the Masoretic Traditions, others attribute it as an evidence of the workings of God.

The Masoretes were rabbis that is teaches whose specialty was to rectifyany erros that may have been infused into the text of the Old Testament while the jews were in Babylonian captivity.

Answer 2: The similarity between the Dead sea scrolls and the Masoretc texts are an evidence that the chain of transmission was not carelessly handled but was the life occupation of some who took it upon themselves to ensure that there were little or no variations or errors.

i would expect light rain in pittsburgh throughout the following 24 to 48 hours. the lower/falling weights in urban areas toward the west demonstrate that a low weight framework is moving from west to east toward pittsburgh. low weight frameworks are ordinarily connected with precipitation. the way that you don't see a major drop in temperature in the more western urban areas demonstrates the low weight framework is moving with a warm front, so just light rain would be normal. substantial downpours or progressively vicious climate is just typically connected with chilly fronts, where the warm air is pushed up and over a cool front quickly. this quickly rising air (convection) is what gives you heavier torrential downpours, and other conceivably serious weather conditions.
