Variants from the MT in the Great Isaiah Scroll?

THE OTTC BLOG: How Close is the Great Isaiah Scroll to the Medieval Masoretic Manuscripts? (Drew Longacre).

For many other posts on the Great Isaiah Scroll (1QIsaa), which is currently on exhibit in the Israel Museum, start here and follow the links.
