PREFACE
This parallel Old Testament/Hebrew Bible presents the original-language text and English
translation on facing pages. The English translation of the Old Testament is the venerable King
James Version, standard text edition, carefully proofed for accuracy and designed for readability.
The Hebrew text is adapted from the Biblia Hebraica Leningradensia: Prepared According to the
Vocalization, Accents, and Masorah of Aaron ben Moses ben Asher in the Leningrad Codex, edited
by Aron Dotan (Peabody, Mass.: Hendrickson, 2001), and the preface and appendixes contained
herein provide a detailed description of the principles, purposes, and features of that Hebrew
Bible.
are set in the margin, so as not to disturb the appearance of the txt. The traditional Weekly
Portions, the Parashiyot, divide the Torah (Genesis-Deuteronomy). The ketib is left unvocalized
in the text, and the gere is fully pointed in the margin.
An appendix lists readings or apparent readings found in the Leningrad Codex but not adopted
in the text of this Bible edition. The reasons for not including them involve obvious errors,
blurred readings, unusual though possible readings, and so forth. A verse number with the
siglum a in the inside margin of the Hebrew text, such as 23a in Genesus 7:23, alerts the reader
to a variant reading that appears in the Appendix.
The text of the Bible has not been altered from the original edition. However, for the reader’s
convenience and for practical purposes of the Parallel Bible, this edition of the Biblia Hebraica
Leningradensia has been modified in several ways. First, the order of books follows that of
standard English Bibles. Second, certain books in the Hebrew Bible have no break between
them, and this is maintained in this edition: the books of Samuel, Kings, Chronicles, and
Ezra-Nehemiah are each treated as one. In other cases, however, the books run together following
the King James Version. This has been followed also for the Book of The Twelve (the so-called
Minor Prophets)—while tradition treats these as one book, they have been divided into separate
books. Not only does this format better align the text and translation, and it involves little
genuine modification since the manuscript includes several blank lines between each prophet.
Lastly, several elements have been removed: the masoretic colophons, the Sedarim divisions in
the margin, and marginal notes and footnotes alerting the reader to distinctive paragraphs and
forms of some songs. All of these details and features can be found in the original edition but
serve no practical purposes for the parallel presentation.
