Hi everyone!

Recently there was a question on the list about whether the brackets were added by the scannist or was in the text. At least, I think that was the question.

Here is an example of a sentence where the bracketed text clarifies what the word "it" is referring to.

"I have given it [the blood] to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls" (Leviticus 17:11).

From: "The Foods of Israel Today.  You can find this book on Bookshare.
