Apparatus Criticus
SIT: ---- w y ---- at the end; ʾḫwh "his brother". CEDS 76: does not read any letters after ʾḫwh; s¹qm ʿl ʾḫwh is translated as "and a disease was upon his brothers". JMAA VIII p.6: k{r}{z}n for krzn.
Commentary
The defect in the copy pointed out by JMAA VIII is because of bad reproduction by the printers.
