The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text states, "וַאֲנִ֤י׀ הָיִ֣יתִי חֶרְפָּ֣ה לָהֶ֑ם יִ֝רְא֗וּנִי יְנִיע֥וּן רֹאשָֽׁם׃" which translates to, "I am an object of scorn to them; when they see me, they shake their heads." The Septuagint agrees with the Masoretic Text in meaning, as all seven words correspond word-for-word, though the order and articles differ. The Dead Sea Scrolls (4Q88 and 11Q5) also align closely with the Masoretic Text, though they contain some words that are either partly restored or supplied by an editor, indicating minor textual variations but maintaining the overall message.
וַאֲנִ֤י׀ הָיִ֣יתִי חֶרְפָּ֣ה לָהֶ֑ם יִ֝רְא֗וּנִי יְנִיע֥וּן רֹאשָֽׁם׃
7 of the 7 words are matched. This is the word-by-word correspondence, not the Septuagint's own sentence — its word order and its articles are its own.
[ואני] [הייתי] חרפה [ל׳הם] [יראו׳ני] יניעו׳ן רוש׳ם
2 words on the leather — 1 partly restored, 4 supplied entire by an editor.
[ואני] [הייתי] [חרפה] ל׳הם יראו׳ני [יניעו׳ן] [ראש׳ם]
2 words on the leather — 5 supplied entire by an editor.
Four traditions, not one. “On the leather” means the letters physically survive on the scroll, as against letters an editor has supplied to fill a hole in it — a restoration is a scholar’s reading, not a reading of the manuscript. Words in [square brackets] are supplied; the notes count them apart from what survives.
The map of this verse — what each word keeps company with
This is a map of two things, both counted rather than judged.
