And yet one more from Stephen Silver:
One of the doctrinal/theological overwrites between the Peshitto and the Peshitta is in Hebrews 2:9.
The Khaburis Manuscript reads, "s'tar min Eloah", "apart from/beside God",

Also, "sh'bakhtani" (Matthew 27:46, Mark 15:34) , in that it can mean "left me" can contextually mean the same as "forsaken me". In this normal context, it is a synonym of the Hebrew "azavtani" (Psalm 22:2).
In Romans 8:32, Paul affirms, "He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered him up for us all".
In conclusion, the lengthy study that you have invoked, is in my opinion, an unfounded emotional response to the fact that the Messiah "became sin for us" (II Corinthians 5:21), and the Father could not look on sin (Habakkuk 1:13).
Warm Regards,
