Old Testament

   

97:1יהוה מלך תגל הארץ ישׂמחו איים רבים׃
97:2ענן וערפל סביביו צדק ומשׁפט מכון כסאו׃
97:3אשׁ לפניו תלך ותלהט סביב צריו׃
97:4האירו ברקיו תבל ראתה ותחל הארץ׃
97:5הרים כדונג נמסו מלפני יהוה מלפני אדון כל הארץ׃
97:6הגידו השׁמים צדקו וראו כל העמים כבודו׃
97:7יבשׁו כל עבדי פסל המתהללים באלילים השׁתחוו לו כל אלהים׃
97:8שׁמעה ותשׂמח ציון ותגלנה בנות יהודה למען משׁפטיך יהוה׃
97:9כי אתה יהוה עליון על כל הארץ מאד נעלית על כל אלהים׃
97:10אהבי יהוה שׂנאו רע שׁמר נפשׁות חסידיו מיד רשׁעים יצילם׃
97:11אור זרע לצדיק ולישׁרי לב שׂמחה׃
97:12שׂמחו צדיקים ביהוה והודו לזכר קדשׁו׃
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.
