Donald W. Parry on Isaiah 3:10

  

צַדִּ֖יק MT LXX σθ’ | לצדיק 1QIsaa

 

צַדִּ֖יק -1QIsaa deviates from MT with a superscripted lamed that is attached to צדיק (i.e., לצדיק), designed by a scribe to correspond to לרשע in v. 11, thus facilitating the text. (Donald W. Parry, Exploring the Isaiah Scrolls and Their Textual Variants [Supplements to the Textual History of the Bible 3; Leiden: Brill, 2020], 55)
