Oh, sod.

Bleh.



ויאכל תנובת שדי
ושמן מחלמיש צור
עם חלב כרים
עם חלב כליות חטה
וישמן ישרון ויבעט
ויטש אלוה עשהו
יקנאהו בזרים
יזבחו לשדים לא אלה
חדשים מקרב באו

Haazinu suck - skipped line


You see what I did?

This, my friends, is what is known as a Setback. It's also what's known as a Totally Classic Scribal Error That You Totally Should Have Avoided.

The bits with boxes drawn round them - אלוה is a Name of God, which means I can't erase it, and אלה is a Maybe Name of God, which I also can't erase in case it Is A Name of God.

I can fix it, it'll just involve some tedious erasing and some clever (but fiddly and somewhat fraught) knifework to avoid erasing the Divine Names. Blehhhhhh.
