Jobes and Silva complain about the deleterious effect that this lack of awareness can have: "The unwillingness on the part of some scholars to take into account the general quality of textual witnesses may lead to atomistic, even haphazard, decisions on individual cases. "2 They elaborate further on those who argue that one cannot rely on general tendencies of the textual traditions in evaluating variant readings, stating, Some scholars argue that, while statistics regarding textual witnesses may have some general validity, such information is not relevant for the evaluation of individual readings. Most of these studies argue for views which conclude that a particular tradition (or theoretically reconstructed reading) reflects the oldest form of the text without ever considering the textual tendencies of the three prime witnesses.4 To bring clarity to the nature of the textual characteristics of these three traditions, a list containing every textual difference among them from Genesis 1:1 to Genesis 50:26 was compiled. Genesis 1-8 (creation through the flood), Genesis 11 (genealogy from Shem to Abram), Genesis 31 (Jacob flees Haran), and Genesis 39 (Joseph in Potiphar's house) all exhibit a much higher than average number of variants.
