The MT here reads "kabor" (as lye) but the emendation "bkr" (in the furnace)
has been suggested.  The emendation seems to make emminently more sense than
the MT.  So, should I follow the emendation in translation or should I let
the non-sensical reading stand?
Or, how often may we legitamately use emendation without feeling a pang of
guilt?

Thanks,


Jim
