What is this? The biblical manuscripts often record different numbers for the same event — patriarchal ages, census figures, temple measurements. BibCrit uses Claude to surface every divergence between the Masoretic Text (MT), Septuagint (LXX), and Samaritan Pentateuch (SP), then models the competing scholarly theories for why those numbers diverged — scribal error, deliberate theological revision, or a genuinely different Vorlage — ranked by confidence.
