Masoretic Text 1524

Old Testament

 

   

2:1למה רגשׁו גוים ולאמים יהגו ריק׃
2:2יתיצבו מלכי ארץ ורוזנים נוסדו יחד על יהוה ועל משׁיחו׃
2:3ננתקה את מוסרותימו ונשׁליכה ממנו עבתימו׃
2:4יושׁב בשׁמים ישׂחק אדני ילעג׃
2:5אז ידבר אלימו באפו ובחרונו יבהלמו׃
2:6ואני נסכתי מלכי על ציון הר קדשׁי׃
2:7אספרה אל חק יהוה אמר אלי בני אתה אני היום ילדתיך׃
2:8שׁאל ממני ואתנה גוים נחלתך ואחזתך אפסי ארץ׃
2:9תרעם בשׁבט ברזל ככלי יוצר תנפצם׃
2:10ועתה מלכים השׂכילו הוסרו שׁפטי ארץ׃
2:11עבדו את יהוה ביראה וגילו ברעדה׃
2:12נשׁקו בר פן יאנף ותאבדו דרך כי יבער כמעט אפו אשׁרי כל חוסי׃
Masoretic Text 1524

Masoretic Text 1524

The Hebrew text of the Old Testament is called the Masoretic Text because in its present form it is based upon the Masora—the Hebrew, textual tradition of the Jewish scholars known as the Masoretes (or Masorites). The Masoretes were rabbis who made it their special work to correct the faults that had crept into the text of the Old Testament during the Babylonian captivity, and to prevent, for the future, its being corrupted by any alteration. They first separated the apocryphal from the canonical books, and divided the latter into twenty-two books, being the number of letters in the Hebrew alphabet. Then they divided each book into sections and verses.

There is a great difference of opinion as to when the Masoretic Text was written, but it was probably accomplished in the 10th -11th century. Several editions existed, varying considerably, but the received and authoritative text is that of Jacob ben-chayim ibn Adonijah, who carefully sifted and arranged the previous works on the subject. It was published in 1524.
