  1. A fun little variant was pointed out to me by a friend:
    MT Ps 84:8: יֵרָאֶ֖ה אֶל־אֱלֹהִ֣ים בְּצִיּֽוֹן
    LXX: ὀφθήσεται ὁ Θεὸς τῶν θεῶν ἐν Σιών
    Pesh: ܢܬܚܙܐ ܐܠܗ ܐ̈ܠܗܝܢ ܒܨܗܝܘܢ (= LXX)
    Vulg: parebunt apud Deum in Sion

    The only difference is the vowel in אל. The vowel in אל determines whether it is a noun (construct "God of") or a preposition ("to"), and thus whether the next word אלהים is "gods" or "God."
