Tanach תנ״ך from the electronic version of the Leningrad Codex maintained by the Westminster Hebrew Institute. This text began as an electronic transcription by Whitaker and Parunak of the 1983 printed edition of Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia (BHS). The transcription is called the Michigan-Claremont electronic text and was archived at the Oxford Text Archive (OTA) in 1987. Since that time, the text has been modified to conform to the photo-facsimile of the Leningrad Codex, Firkovich B19A, residing at the Russian National Library, St. Petersberg; hence the change of name.This version contains all 6 of the textual elements of the OTA document: consonants, vowels, cantillation marks, "paragraph" (pe, samekh) markers, ketib-qere variants, and morphological divisions. The BHS so-called "paragraph" markers (pe and samekh) do not actually occur in the Leningrad Codex. The editors of BHS use them to indicate open space deliberately left blank by the scribe. Pe ("open" paragraph) represents a space between verses, where the new verse begins on a new column line. This represents a major section of the text. Samekh ("closed" paragraph) represents a space of less than a line between verses. This is understood to be a subdivision of the corresponding "open" section. Since these markers represent an actual physical feature of the text, they have been retained. The transcription was based on the "Supplement to the code manual for the Michigan Old Testament" by Alan Groves and includes the transcription notes defined there. A listing of these notes can be obtained by clicking on the "Notes" link of the index page. Transcription notes appear as superscripts and can be viewed by clicking on them. The book names in English and Hebrew of the Jewish Publication Society (JPS) Tanach have been added. 5 March 2004 17 Jun 2004 © C. V. Kimball 2004 C:\kimball\JavaProjects\WLC2XML\WLC\wlc20040305.txt

(The added sof pasuq often is missing from the text.) 3 We read or understand L differently than BHC (1983 Edition). Often this notation indicates a typographical error in BHS. 4 Puncta Extraordaria -- a \u05c4 is used to mark such marks in the text when they are above the line and a \u0323 when they are below the line. 5 Large letter(s). 6 Small letter(s). 7 Suspended letter(s). 8 Inverted nun in the text. 9 BHS has abandoned L and we concur. All of these occurrences are ketib/qere problems. a Adaptations to a Qere which L and BHS, by their design, do not indicate. m Miscellaneous notes to the text and occasions where more than one bracket category applies. q We have abandoned or added a ketib/qere relative to BHS. In doing this we agree with L against BHS. y Yathir readings in L which we have designated as Qeres when both Dothan and BHS list a Qere.
