Abstract:
With the discovery of the Isaiah Scroll from Qumran, 1Q1sa, it is clear that the text of the verse is "מיא מדד בשועלו מי ים". This reading which roused vivid scholarly discussions differs from the Masoretic text and that of the versions and also from any of the emendations which had been previously proposed by scholars. It appears that we have now additional data to prove the originality of the reading from Qumran: these are: (1) the epithet of the Babylonian god Marduk "madidi mê tamti" - "who measures the waters of the sea"; (2) a new text from Qumran, published in DJD 5, which quotes this verse in a biblical paraphrase.
