Each reception note was checked against the TBWTT ch. 3 quotation file and is accurate and labelled, except that 11:23 slightly overstates the canon (verdict revise, notes only). Two features a cold reader might query were judged not to be leakage: 'ruach' (an inferred overlay convention that leaves an acknowledged ambiguity open and replaces the ASV's doctrinal capital) and 'between the land and the skies' at 8:3 (the ratified eretz default and shamayim physical register, identical to GEN-WOH 1:1, with the Hebrew's 'in visions of Elohim' kept).
