Abstract: 

This is a pilot attempt to combine literary-critical, text-critical, and historical linguistic approaches in an analysis of
selected linguistic variants between the MT and DSS with an application to the book of Judges. The result of this
interdisciplinary exercise is that future research on the history of BH will have to contend more earnestly with the "fluidity" (or "changeability") of language and the "non-directionality" (or "patternlessness") of linguistic variants in biblical texts.
