Dear William,

The thought that Jews were altering the verses of Scripture in order to somehow challenge the messianic and Divine character of Jesus is widespread and absolutely wrong. The authority of the Tanah for Jews is so extremely high that they even do not cancel the ancient mistakes made by the scribes, so high is their fear to alter the Scripture.
The difference between LXX and Masora is not in several words but sometimes even in number of chapters and the books containing in the canon. That is due to the different editing schools and traditions in ancient Judaism. LXX and MT are only mainstream traditions of collection of Scripture and both are acceptable.

There are quite many messianic parts in MT.
