<BR>reading it the wrong way the second time.<BR><BR>If your megilla is an
Ashkenazi one with the incorrect <BR>bivneihem/laharog, correct yourself by
repeating. If your <BR>megilla is correct, there isn't much in read as written

<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>That sort of makes sense if you approach this with a
correction model - the latter reading being the correction. Of course if you
know the right and the wrong of it, then why bother with the wrong at all? This
approach makes sense for the bal korei who makes a real mistake and then repeats
with true correction, but not much sense here.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>On the other hand if you approach this with a safek
model - with both readings being al tenai that the correct one counts, then the
order of the two readings should not matter at all!</FONT></DIV>
