Thanks, I originally put the quotation marks in manually then before posting I decided to use the html tags and forgot to remove them.

Knowing the evidences (including the DSS, the Peshitta and Vulgate and Targumim and the Greek textual history and more) we can conclude this type of tampering occurred in the Greek text line on Isaiah 40:3 as well.
