I think some of the posts here are mixing two different concepts and <BR>>
treating them as one. To my understanding (I have no specific cite) Kri
<BR>> and Ksiv are halacha leMoshe miSinai (at least in Chumash if not in
<BR>> Nach). Whereas the subject matter in Megilla 25b, (Mishna and gemara)
<BR>> refer not to Kri and Ksiv, but to Kriah and Targum, not the same as Kri
<BR>> and Ksiv and likely of Chazal's origination based on the meaning at the
<BR>> time as others have noted.<BR></FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>The gemara on 25b never uses the terms kri and ksiv for
those cases that "<FONT face="Times New Roman">substitute[s] completely
different words for what is written." The term the gemara uses is "korin oson
lesh'vach." Thus these would not be candidates for HlMmS as I understood this as
well.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
