[edit] Ben Naphtali

most current Hebrew Bibles are based upon the Masoretic text of the Ben Naphtali Masoretes
This statement is most certainly not true for the scientific editions used by christian scholars. Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia as well as Biblia Hebraica Quinta rely upon manuscripts like the Leningrad Codex or Aleppo Codex which are certainly of the Ben Asher type.
Should the statement be true, however, for tanakhs used by most jews, it needs to be reworded.--Traugott 09:31, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Contradiction

The hebrew version of baalei hamsorah does not match the english. Zargulon 06:56, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

I'll fix it as soon as the page loads... Your disingenuous comments regarding me and my contributions elsewhere fail to take into account that my cable service is severely compromised presently...making my intarweb service slower than a 2400 baud modem from back when VAX was high tech and there was no such thing as an "internet browser" (go figure, that was back before the days of the Internet...so much for your calling me a "teenager"...)... Anyways, I assume your gripe regards the fact that it says "ba`ale hamesoret", rather than "ba`ale hamesora" [my transliteration of the Hebrew in the article]... like I said, I'll fix it as soon as the flippin page loads! argh! argh! still not loaded!
