This may explain some cases in which early Christians quoted Hebrew Scripture texts using wording different from the Masoretic text. ​ — Exodus 1: 5; Acts 7: 14.
Sellega saab ka selgitada seda, miks varakristlased kasutasid Heebrea Kirju tsiteerides teistsugust sõnastust, kui on masoreetses tekstis.
