References to Miqra According to the Masorah (MAM) in these changes are to the
Sefaria MAM available when the change was entered.

A mis-shapen blob occurs in the resh that might be taken as a dagesh; it will be ignored. The dagesh in the pe is small, but clear. The dagesh in the tav is unusually light, but well-formed and well-positioned. The rafe on the tav is very clear. (A letter should not have both a dagesh and a rafe.) Retain the dagesh in the tav and add transcription note 't'.

Corrections from Ben Denckla's list of contended words in Job.
The text is in poor condition. The light outline of a dehi or tipeha under the shin is apparent, however. This outline is pre-positive and the accent will be transcribed as a dehi.
BHL has a dehi on the shin. BHLA has no entry for this verse.
The UXLC agrees with the BHL body text for the purpose of this change.

The text quality is not good. The meteg under the tav is very dark; the mark under the kaf is much lighter, as is the qamats under the kaf. Add a meteg under the kaf and add a transcription note 't'.
BHL has no meteg on the kaf. BHLA has a meteg on both the kaf and the tav.

lamed holam meteg alef maqaf
The image shows the word in question plus its maqaf-joined successor. The text quality is poor; the connecting maqaf is very weak. The mark under the lamed lacks the northeast-to-southwest inclination required to be transcribed as a merkha. The UXLC text already has a note 'm' suggesting the possibility of the accent being a merkha.
BHL has a merkha on the lamed. BHLA has no entry for this verse.

yod hiriq dalet dagesh patah tipeha ayin sheva tav dagesh qamats he
The image shows the word in question plus the following word; they are both qere/ketiv forms. Following Masoretic tradition the letters in the body text are the ketiv letters with qere markings. The letters for the qere words are taken from the letters in the left margin: ידעתה then השחר , respectively. The letters on this word are the same in both qere and ketiv forms. That is NOT true of the next word. The next word in the verse adds an initial he in going from ketiv to qere.
BHL has a he after the tav in both the qere and ketiv for this word. The next word has an initial he added in the qere. BHLA has an entry for the first word in this verse, הְֽ֭מִיָּמֶיךָ , it does not comment on this word.
