Dear Rabbi Kornfeld,
I have been puzzled why Onkelos in the 2nd set of ASERES HADIBROS (V'etchhanan) on the words LO TIGNOV uses the expression NAFSHOH, but in the first set in (YISRO)omits it.
Awaiting your reply. Yours Sincerely, &Chag Kasher V'someach Stuart Plaskow
In the prints I have examined, either the word "Nafsha" does not appear at all, even in the second Luchos, or it appears in parentheses. I agree with you that there should be no difference between the two luchos on this point.
M. Kornfeld
