VERIFIEDG48-01Kitzur Baal HaTurim on Gen 28:11 ('the place-word written THREE times in the verse — a hint to the three pilgrimage festivals on which his children will ascend to that place'; Chullin 91b named)THE THREE PLACE-WORDS, PART 1: in the arrival verse (28:11) the place-word appears three times — twice with the in-prefix ('he ENCOUNTERED the place... he lay down IN THE PLACE'); this row counts the two prefixed tokens.
in-verse count=2
VERIFIEDG48-02Kitzur Baal HaTurim on Gen 28:11 (same note)THE THREE PLACE-WORDS, PART 2: the third token carries the the-prefix ('from the stones OF THE PLACE') — two prefixed plus one completes the Kitzur's three, the three pilgrimage ascents read in the letter's own repetition.
in-verse count=1
VERIFIEDG48-03Kitzur Baal HaTurim on Gen 28:11 ('כי בא השמש — the initials spell כבה, EXTINGUISHED: the sun's light was quenched not at its time')THE QUENCHED SUN IN THE INITIALS: כי בא השמש ('for the sun had come,' 28:11) — the three initials spell כבה ('it was EXTINGUISHED'): the sun set early for him, read straight off the first letters.
initials=בהכ
VERIFIEDG48-04Kitzur Baal HaTurim on Gen 28:12 ('מלאכי אלהים — two joined in the Masorah: here, and THEY MET HIM at Machanaim — the angels who escorted him in the land did not escort him outside it; those who ascended then met him on his return')THE ESCORT-ANGELS' TWO STATIONS: the construct pair מלאכי אלהים ('angels of God') stands exactly TWICE in the Torah — the ladder's ascending-and-descending angels at the exile's first night (28:12) and the camp that MEETS him at its end (32:2): the Kitzur's escort-exchange reading rides a two-token census.
pairs=['Gen 28:12', 'Gen 32:2']
VERIFIEDG48-05Kitzur Baal HaTurim on Gen 28:12 ('מוצב — three: here; the oak STATIONED at Shechem; I will lay siege against you with a POST — he was shown the entry to the land and the exile from it')THE ONE STATIONED-WORD OF THE TORAH: מצב ('the ladder STATIONED toward the ground,' 28:12) — the passive stationed-form's ONLY Torah token; the Masorah's other two stations are the oak at Shechem (Judg 9:6) and the siege-post (Isa 29:3) — the Kitzur reads entry and exile in the word's own later career (outside the instrument, named).
count=1 refs=['Gen 28:12']
VERIFIEDG48-06Kitzur Baal HaTurim on Gen 28:13 ('והנה ה׳ — four in the Masorah: standing over him; standing on the plumb-wall; making windows in heaven; passing by — all chariot-work, and so here: THIS IS THE GATE OF HEAVEN')THE TORAH'S ONE 'AND BEHOLD — YHWH': והנה followed directly by the four-letter Name stands ONCE in the Torah — YHWH stationed over the ladder (28:13); the Masorah's other three (the plumb-wall of Amos, the windows of Kings, the passing of Horeb) are all Prophets-side, named — the Kitzur binds all four to the chariot-vision.
pairs=['Gen 28:13']
VERIFIEDG48-07Minchat Shai on Gen 28:12 ('השמימה — without pashta')HEAVENWARD AS RULED: השמימה ('its top reaching HEAVENWARD,' 28:12) carries no pashta (the forward-leaning accent) — the verse's rest (etnachta) sits on it instead, exactly per Minchat Shai; the full stored token is the proof.
he=מָ/ה
VERIFIEDG48-08Minchat Shai on Gen 28:14 ('ובזרעך — no lengthening stroke on the vav')THE SEED-WORD'S BARE VAV: ובזרעך ('and IN YOUR SEED shall all families be blessed,' 28:14) — the vav carries no meteg (the small lengthening stroke), as Minchat Shai rules; the stroke the word does carry sits later, on the seed-syllable itself.
he=ֽ/ךָ
VERIFIEDG48-09Minchat Shai on Gen 28:15 ('אעזבך — the Michlol cites a Jerusalem manuscript pointing hataf qamatz on the root's first letter, and likewise I-will-serve-you of the wage; a GREAT ANOMALY in my eyes')THE PROMISE-VERB AGAINST THE ANOMALY: אעזבך ('I will not LEAVE YOU,' 28:15) — the root's first letter in hataf segol (the compound short e), NOT the Jerusalem manuscript's hataf qamatz that Minchat Shai calls a great anomaly: SNAPSHOT sides with him. (Its twin, I-will-serve-you of the wage-verse, waits in the next unit's span.)
he=/ךָ֔
VERIFIEDG48-10Minchat Shai on Gen 28:16 ('וייקץ — with two yods in all the precise books; the one-yod claim of Michlal Yofi is an error; the Ramah already fixed it at the Noah verse; the Masorah: only three lean wake-tokens in Scripture — Samson, Solomon, and the sleeper')THE FULL WAKING: וייקץ ('and Jacob AWOKE from his sleep,' 28:16) written with TWO yods per all the precise books and the Ramah's Noah-verse precedent; the Masorah's three lean wake-tokens (Samson's, Solomon's, the sleeper-psalm's) are all outside the Torah, named — the Torah wakes its sleepers full.
he=קַ֣ץ
VERIFIEDG48-11Kitzur Baal HaTurim on Gen 28:16 ('וייקץ יעקב משנתו ויאמר — the final letters spell צבור: a person's prayer is heard only in congregation')THE CONGREGATION IN THE FINALS: the four words 'and Jacob AWOKE from his sleep and SAID' (28:16) end in the letters of צבור ('congregation') in order — the Kitzur's prayer-in-community teaching read off the verse's own last letters, at the place he will call the house of God.
finals=צבור
VERIFIEDG48-12Minchat Shai on Gen 28:17 ('זה — with revia, not zaqef qatan')THE POINTING OF NONE-OTHER: זה in 'THIS is none other than the house of God' (28:17) carries revia (the resting dot-accent), not zaqef qatan (the small upright pause) — as Minchat Shai rules, letter-identical on SNAPSHOT.
he=זֶ֗ה
VERIFIEDG48-13Minchat Shai on Gen 28:18 ('ויצק — Or Torah writes the tzadi SOFT, and so I saw in one manuscript; in other books with dagesh as the custom; see the Vayishlach verse')THE SECOND SPLIT-ATTESTED STATION: ויצק ('and he POURED oil on its top,' 28:18) — Minchat Shai records the books divided on the tzadi: Or Torah and one manuscript soft, the others with dagesh (the doubling dot). SNAPSHOT reads the tzadi SOFT — joining Or Torah's camp; the pour-verb's twin at the pillar's re-anointing (35:14) is the note's own cross-reference.
he=צֹ֥ק
VERIFIEDG48-14Minchat Shai on Gen 28:20 ('לחם — with tevir, not with the lengthening stroke')THE VOW'S BREAD AS RULED: לחם ('bread to eat,' 28:20) carries tevir (the broken descending accent), not the meteg reading — Minchat Shai's ruling letter-identical on SNAPSHOT.
he=֛חֶם
VERIFIEDG48-15Kitzur Baal HaTurim on Gen 28:20 ('וידר — three in the Masorah: Jacob vowed, Israel vowed, Jephthah vowed — the righteous vowed, and the FIRST to vow was Jacob; therefore the psalm says he swore to the MIGHTY ONE OF JACOB, for he opened the vows')THE FIRST VOWER: וידר ('and he VOWED') stands exactly TWICE in the Torah — Jacob at Bethel (28:20, the institution's birth) and Israel at Hormah (Num 21:2); the Masorah's third, Jephthah's, is Prophets-side, named. The Kitzur: the vow-psalm calls God 'the Mighty One of JACOB' because Jacob opened the vows — the census puts him first on the letter.
count=2 refs=['Gen 28:20', 'Num 21:2']
VERIFIEDG48-16Kitzur Baal HaTurim on Gen 28:20 ('ללבוש — two in the Masorah: here, and TO WEAR THE GARMENTS — teaching that Jacob was a high priest, as in Bereshit Rabbah: the Holy One said to Michael, you made My high priest blemished — you shall serve above in his place; and the service was in the firstborn, which he bought from Esau')THE HIGH PRIEST IN THE VOW'S GARMENT: ללבש ('a garment TO WEAR,' 28:20) — exactly TWO Torah tokens, and the second is the HIGH-PRIEST law's investiture clause (Lev 21:10, 'on whose head the anointing oil was poured... to WEAR the garments'): the Kitzur's Jacob-as-high-priest teaching rides a two-token census whose other end is the priesthood statute itself — beside the oil this unit pours on a head-stone.
count=2 refs=['Gen 28:20', 'Lev 21:10']
VERIFIEDG48-17Minchat Shai on Gen 28:10 ('מבאר שבע — the Great Scriptures print the shin with patach and lists it among the book's rare pausal patach forms; in ALL the books qamatz, and so its rule at the pause; so Or Torah; the wedding-blood book wrote segol and multiplied words — THE WIND SHALL CARRY THEM ALL')SEVEN AT THE PAUSE: שבע of Beer-sheva (28:10) — the shin in qamatz (the long a) as all the books and Or Torah rule for the pausal position (the verse's rest sits on it); the printed patach and the segol book both rejected, in Minchat Shai's own words, 'the wind shall carry them all.'
he=֑בַע
UNCHECKABLEG48-18Minchat Shai on Gen 28:10 (the long note: Sefer Tagi — 'Vayetze is continuous, neither open nor closed'; the Maimonidean gloss — the truth is a CLOSED break stands at the head of Vayetze and none within it, and so in all the famed Spanish codices) + Kitzur Baal HaTurim on Gen 28:10 ('some say this reading is closed because he went out in secret and fled in hiding')THE CLOSED FLIGHT (manual): whether a closed paragraph-break precedes 'and Jacob went out' (28:10) is the era's manuscript question — Sefer Tagi against the Spanish codices — and the Kitzur reads the closedness as the flight's own secrecy; the paragraph layer is uninstrumented on SNAPSHOT (standing gap).

CROWNS (chain-attested + DB-verified)

DISCREPANCIES

None new. Two split-attested stations recorded as camps-joined (G48-13 the soft tzadi; gen_47's G47-07 resh station) — SNAPSHOT consistently joins one named camp, never an unattested reading.

INSTRUMENT GAPS

READINGS FILED (named-only, unclaimed)

The Kitzur's ladder cluster: the ladder as Sinai, as the exiles' ends, as prayer's voice, as the Temple ramp with the priests ascending and descending, as the throne-vision; the ascending-descending counted as Babylon, Media, Greece, Rome · the four flight end-letter readings at 28:10 (the city's splendor departing; hidden in Eber's house; the fourteen years) · "from his sleep" read "from his study" · dawn as the gate-opening hour of prayer · the tithe capped at a fifth · "and you shall spread out" as the splitting of the sea.
