 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 book names in English and Hebrew of the Jewish Publication Society (JPS) Tanach have been added. Five transcription notes for text decoration (5,7) have been moved to the decorated character.

(The added sof pasuq often is missing from the text.) 3 We read or understand L differently than BHS (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.
