Hebrew Texts of the Old Testament.

The most ancient Hebrew manuscript
Of any part of the Bible is in st. Peters
burg and datesno earlier than the tenth
century. More than 1900 copies of the
Hebrew Old Testament have been COM
pared, and very few variations have
been found. This is accounted for by
the fact that from the time when the
Hebrew canon was formed, and even be-
fore that time, very strict rules were
laid down for the scribes who copied
the Bible. The lines and letters were
counted, and each copy had to CORE
spond precisely with the one from
which it was taken. They calculated,
for instance, that there were 5, 245 verses
in the Pentateuch, %, 2O6 in the whole
Bible and IS, 100 letters in Genesis. AL
Of these rules and calculations were
called the Massorah tradition, and about
the tenth &C.: .sry the college Of rabbits
Of Tiberias, OH the Euphrates, decided
upon standard Bible, or authorized
version
The Hebrew consonants alone had
been written down up to that time, the
pronunciation being matter Of tradi-
ton. Now system of vowel signs was
devised, fixing the sense in many in
stances. The vowels are just as impor-
tant in Hebrew as in English; SO it is
easy to see how necessary this reform
was. The English consonants b may
be read board or bread, or bored or
braid, and if they occurred in SEN
tence without the vowels we should
have to guess by the connection which
vowels were necessary. 1t is possible
that after a text had been adopted all
older manuscripts were destroyed, or
more probably were neglected because
OF their defects, and hence they have
altogether disappeared.-Review of Re-
views.
