So, in this way, I disagree with Ohio that the discussion of inerrancy is "designed to discredit the value of God's word." I think it is mostly designed to turn the narrative writings of centuries-old cultures into scientifically provable treatises on anything that is mentioned. Or insist that it is otherwise metaphorical and not intended to represent scientific fact. And the result of insisting on inerrancy is that any particular view becomes tenuous since just one verifiable fact that contradicts is evidence of error, therefore scripture becomes entirely not inerrant. That is the position that Christians put the Bible into by their insistence on inerrancy.

I'm honestly ... frankly speaking ... not exactly sure how you are disagreeing with me.
But, back to your initial question. Jesus often did not quote from the Hebrew text, rather He used the Greek Septuagint translation o the Hebrew scriptures. I'm sure that ticked off the Scribes and Pharisees.
The writer of Hebrews did the same.
