[Mesorah] She'ata / Sha'ata

[HayyimObadyah at aol.com]

I apologize if I missed something here.  

morid haggeshem is from the prayerbook.

the only uses of root YRD with geshem I can find in Tanakh are
Isaiah 55:10 כִּ֡י כַּֽאֲשֶׁ֣ר יֵרֵד֩ הַגֶּ֨שֶׁם וְהַשֶּׁ֜לֶג מִן־הַשָּׁמַ֗יִם...
and (more relevant perhaps)
Ezekiel 34:26 וְנָֽתַתִּ֥י אוֹתָ֛ם וּסְבִיב֥וֹת גִּבְעָתִ֖י בְּרָכָ֑ה וְהֽוֹרַדְתִּ֤י הַגֶּ֨שֶׁם֙ בְּעִתּ֔וֹ גִּשְׁמֵ֥י בְרָכָ֖ה יִֽהְיֽוּ׃

  When I discussed morid hageshem with RYBS, he knew a lot about who used which girsa, but knew nothing about the fact that goshem was an emendation by a printed T'NaKh, and that all the mss. had geshem.»

Gosh! So goshem is a bad emndation. This rains geshem on my parade

Who made this emendation?

What do Keter and Leningrad codeces say?
Shalom and Regards, RRW
