Captivity - why does nobody like the yod?
Posted: Thu Dec 01, 2022 9:26 am
I am constantly coming accross this issue where the word for 'captivity' has a qeri and a ketiv. I chose Jeremiah 29:14 as just one of many many examples where the qeri reading is insisted upon. I simply can not fathom out why, I have found not one single hebrew reference either in my books or online that explains this issue, and this is a rare thing not to find someone mentioning an obvious biblical situation such as this.
