Chris, I'm curious what book (Hebrew Bible edition) do these notes come from?

I can not translate the masoretic notes at the bottom of my scripture but I noticed that on the word
וְהָיְתָה לִּי they indicate the preference for a 'Maquef'. Question: How does the nuance change? Or is it just for grammatical appearance to maintain a single word idea?
Hi, Chris. The question is to you about what version of the Hebrew Bible you use when you say “my scripture.”

The Leningrad Codex has no maqaf anywhere in the verse Isaiah 29:2. Sefaria.org BB_LENCDX_F230B.jpg at <
https://manuscripts.sefaria.org/leningr ... _F230B.jpg>, Column 1, Lines 20-22.
Dotan's Biblia Hebraica Leningradensia, 2001 (BHL), has no maqaf anywhere in the verse; Dotan's BHL has no notes on this verse in Appendix A.

The point is that there is no Maqaph.
The note just points out that there are a minority of Prints that he knows that a Maqaph was found in that verse.
