Good morning,
How does the rabbi explain the numerous citations of incorrect verses from the Bible in the Zohar?
Kind regards, Benjamin

I have no explanation.

The Talmud also contains quotations of verses with changes from the Masoretic text. Rabbi Pesach Pinfer, a scholar in Vilnius, wrote a whole book about this. For a literature of this scope, there can be quite a few errors from the ‘Shigra Delishna’, since these are isolated manuscripts that have survived, it must be taken into account that the copyists did not have the ‘computerized databases’ that would allow all Torah literature to be retrieved at the push of a button, as is the case today.

Best regards, ShࢭT
