I don't think you quite understood what I said (in English) yesterday at 4:18.

"Îsh af yegâreh mâdôn..."

...udevar `etsev ya`aleh âf.

Châzitâ îsh âts bidvârâv?

What I asserted is that it the Ben Hayyim Tanakh had many errors. I also said that I had read that it contained thousands of technical errors. The latter statement ("I have read that...") is...

Maybe you should go back and read the rest of this thread, instead of setting up a strawman.

What I have always been saying is that the text in BibleWorks has lots of errors compared to the...

I would also like to respond to "Adelphos".

I agree with you that the BHS is not representative of the "majority text". That is what I have been saying on this thread ever since I started it.

When I made my last post, I hadn't noticed that there was a whole second page of discussion!

Your idea is good, but it sounds like a long-term project and a lot of work. I think that the BW text...

I'm not sure that I understand what you mean about Logos not knowing it yet.

In any case, it seems that the Logos product is better in this respect than BibleWorks.

Personally I would rather...

Yes, I agree.

What about other commercial programs? Do any have a better Hebrew text?

I would like to raise the following subject: Is the Hebrew text provided by BW as accurate as possible?

BW uses the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia which is based on the Leningrad text. But the...
