(
âŁ

K

l

end of the eighth Parashah [Gen 32:4–36:43] is according to the Eastern recension,
i.e. 154, whereas the
actual
number of the verses in the text of that Parashah
is according to the Western recension, i.e. 153 (30+20+31+29+43). Hence also
the double accents in this verse, one representing the Oriental and the other the
Occidental verse-division. And its middle point is, And by thy sword shalt thou
live
. And the words are 20612. And the letters are 78064. And its
