In Psalm 123.4 there is a ketiv/qere variation but in WHM 4.18 it does not display, even if I set the interlinear options to display K/Q.

Instead it just displays an asterisk, and when I hover on the asterisk it says: "We have abandoned or added a Ketiv/Qere relative to BHS. In doing this we agree with L against BHS."

But I don't give two hoots about whatever "we" thinks (who are they?). I want to see the K/Q and make my own decision.

You should never make textual decisions on behalf of the reader/interpreter.

    You should never make textual decisions on behalf of the reader/interpreter.

    Take that up with the editors of Biblia Hebraica Westmonasteriensis with Westminster Hebrew Morphology 4.18. J. Alan Groves Center for Advanced Biblical Research, 2013. Logos simply presents the text as provided by the publisher.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
