Mark 7:9

Mark 7:9 sth,shte {D}

It is most difficult to decide whether scribes deliberately substituted sth,shte (“establish”) for thrh,shte (“keep”), as being the more appropriate verb in the context, or whether, through inadvertence in copying and perhaps influenced subconsciously by the preceding phrase th.n evntolh.n tou/ qeou/, they replaced sth,shte with thrh,shte. The Committee judged that, on the whole, the latter possibility was slightly more probable.
