Since then, Masoretic studies have undergone a true renaissance. The publications on Masoretic issues have proliferated, and the importance of the Masorah for the study of the text of the Hebrew Bible has been stressed in numerous reviews. This brief survey presents the evolution of Masoretic stu- dies, the main research lines and achievements, and some of the most relevant works in the last forty years. KEYWORDS: Masorah; Ketib-Qere; Grammar; Hebrew Bible Text.

  • Two Notes on the Exceptional Shalshelet
    TWO NOTES ON THE EXCEPTIONAL SHALSHELET GILAD J. GEVARYAHU THE FOUR INSTANCES OF SHALSHELET IN THE TORAH The cantillation mark shalshelet appears only four times in the Torah. The root of this word is shin-lamed-shin, meaning three, and, in the Ashkenazic tradition as well as in many Sephardic traditions, the melody ascends and descends three times. It appears three times in the book of Genesis and one time in the book of Leviticus. In the Mesorah it is referred to as Mar’imin u’Mafsikin (Mesorah Gedolah, Lev. 8:23). Mar’imin means thunderous, and Mafsikin means pausing, terms that appear to describe the sound of its melody.1 In this article, we will see how all four shalshelot in the Torah consistently relate to the texts in which they are used. These are the four instances of the shalshelet in the Torah: 1. Genesis 19:16: Shalshelet appears in the story of Lot in Sodom, when the angels tell Lot that he must leave the city, for God is about to destroy it. The word with the shalshelet is the first word in the verse, Still he delayed [vayitmahameha]. So the men [angels] seized his hand . Although not directly mentioning the shalshelet, many commentators note here that Lot hesitated to leave and responded in an unusually slow manner. This approach is found for example in Pseudo-Jonathan, Rashi, Ibn-Ezra, and Radak on this verse. This is based in Genesis Rabbah 50:11, that Lot was concerned about losing all the property he had accumulated and was hesitant to leave Sodom.

  • Sermon Slam- Cantor Linda Sue Sohn
    Temple Aliyah Shavuot 2016 Sermon Slam Cantor Linda Sue Sohn In Parashat Vayeishev in Genesis chapter 39, Joseph is sold to Potiphar in Egypt. All goes well for Joseph until Potiphar’s wife casts her eye on him and tries to seduce him. ”.He refused“ וַיְמָא ֵ֓ ן ׀The text continues When we hear the unmistakably different sound of the Shalshelet trop, it’s definitely an attention-getter. Dr. Joshua Jacobson, the pre-eminent authority on cantillation with whom I studied at Hebrew College, writes in his book “Chanting the Hebrew Bible - The Art of Cantillation” that Shalshelet means “chain” and seems to describe both its shape - “a chain of three arrowheads piled on top of one another” - as well as the coutour of its melody. When found, it always appears on the first word of a verse. Dr. Jacobson insists that as part of the system of punctuation that trop plays, the Shalshelet trop is merely a place holder for another trop - Segol - which is never found on the first word as it must always be preceded by a Zarka trop. He sees no reason to associate the Shalshelet’s appearance with the dramatic context of the text. In other words, “Nothing here to see, folks - move along - move along!” However, much as I revere and respect Dr. Jacobson’s work, the fact remains that the elaborate musical tradition for chanting Shalshelet gets one’s attention and seem to invite the listener to look at what’s going on in the text. The Talmud and other respected sources give us midrashim that emphasize the repetitive nature of the action taking place.

  • 1 Teruma 5724. Alef. 1. A. the Wood Was Originally Planted by Yaakov In
    Teruma 5724. Alef. 1. a. The wood was originally planted by Yaakov in Egypt and brought out of Egypt when the people were freed from slavery. b.The wood grew near Mt. Sinai and was harvested when needed. c. The wood was purchased from peoples with whom the Jews traded. 2. The reason why RaShI explains a second time how Yaakov originally planted these trees in Egypt in anticipation of the eventual construction of the Mishkan is because of the “Heh Rather than simply making boards for the Mishkan, the people .”הקרשים“ ,HaYedia” in 26:15 made the boards, which had already been anticipated. It would appear that while other parts of the Mishkan were also constructed from this material, i.e., the Aron (25:10) and the Shulchan (25:23), the main reason for the growing of the wood and probably the purpose for which most of the wood was devoted, was the construction of the boards. 3. In the first commentary, the Peirush HaAroch,1 Ibn Ezra prefers the interpretation that the וכל אשר נמצא אתו עצי “ (trees were growing in the vicinity of Mt. Sinai. The phrase (35:24 refers to those who had harvested some of these locally ”שטים לכל מלאכת העבודה הביאו grown trees in order to construct shelters for themselves, were now being called upon to contribute that wood for the purpose of constructing the Mishkan. In the Peirush HaKatzar, Ibn Ezra, probably based upon the same phrase that he used to construct his first interpretation, now redefines his understanding to be similar to that of the Midrash and RaShI (he does not necessarily accept that this was all part of a plan that Yaakov had shared with his family; only that the Jews brought the wood from Egypt in anticipation of their own lodging needs), i.e., that these were brought from Egypt rather than harvested locally.

  • Issues in the Representation of Pointed Hebrew in Unicode
    Issues in the Representation of Pointed Hebrew in Unicode http://www.qaya.org/academic/hebrew/Issues-Hebrew-Unicode.html Issues in the Representation of Pointed Hebrew in Unicode Third draft, Peter Kirk, August 2003 1. Introduction The Hebrew block of the Unicode Standard (http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0590.pdf) is intended to include all of the characters needed for proper representation of Hebrew texts from all periods of the Hebrew language, including fully pointed and cantillated ancient texts such as that of the Hebrew Bible. It is also intended to cover other languages 1 written in Hebrew script, including Aramaic as used in biblical and other religious texts as well as Yiddish and a few other modern languages. In practice there are a number of issues and minor deficiencies in the Hebrew block as currently defined, in version 4.0 of the Unicode Standard (http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode4.0.0/), which affect its usefulness for representation of pointed Hebrew texts and of Hebrew script texts in some other languages. Some of these simply require clarification and agreed guidelines for implementers. Others require further discussion and decision, and possibly additions to the Unicode standard or other action by the Unicode Technical Committee. The conclusion reached in this paper is that two new Unicode characters should be proposed; other issues can be resolved by use of suitable sequences of existing characters, provided that such use is generally agreed by content providers and rendering systems. Several of these issues relate to different typographical conventions for publishing of Hebrew texts.
