24:1לדוד מזמור ליהוה הארץ ומלואה תבל וישׁבי׃
24:2כי הוא על ימים יסדה ועל נהרות יכוננה׃
24:3מי יעלה בהר יהוה ומי יקום במקום קדשׁו׃
24:4נקי כפים ובר לבב אשׁר לא נשׂא לשׁוא נפשׁי ולא נשׁבע למרמה׃
24:5ישׂא ברכה מאת יהוה וצדקה מאלהי ישׁעו׃
24:6זה דור דרשׁו מבקשׁי פניך יעקב סלה׃
24:7שׂאו שׁערים ראשׁיכם והנשׂאו פתחי עולם ויבוא מלך הכבוד׃
24:8מי זה מלך הכבוד יהוה עזוז וגבור יהוה גבור מלחמה׃
24:9שׂאו שׁערים ראשׁיכם ושׂאו פתחי עולם ויבא מלך הכבוד׃
24:10מי הוא זה מלך הכבוד יהוה צבאות הוא מלך הכבוד סלה׃
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.
