18. Gen. xxv, 6, nmaxb -I1ZJX D^lBJ^Bfl 133bl; in the I- reshith Rabba, sect. Ixi. fol. 07, col. 4 (where the ques- tion is whether Abraham had one or more concubines), it is stated that the reading is E)E33b^E [one concubine. This reading of the Midrash is followed by Rashi, who, in his commentary on Gen. xxv, C, remarks, "The textual reading is aa"b*£, defective, because Abraham had only one concubine, namely, Hagar, who was identical with Keturah." But this reading is contrary to the Masorah, which distinctly remarks that the word EPEJjb^B occurs twice entirely plene, that is, with the two Yods after the two Chinks. The one instance is in Gen. xxvi, C, and the other in Esth. ii, 14].
19. Gen. xxxv, is, ","■£133 plene; in Sotah, fol. 30, col. 2, where the passage in ch. xlix, 27, rpd* EXT '"2".Z, is treated, we read that, with the exception of xlix, 27, the word "pa^Sa is written ' ~2^iZ, defective.

[To understand this, we will remark that the word TE-- occurs only three times, as indicated above ; in two instances it has no 1 (Dent, vi, S; xi, 18), and in the third (Exod. xiii, 10) there is a 1 after the first -. i. e.
