WHAT DOES MASORETIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Masoretic

Masoretic Text

The Masoretic Text is the authoritative Hebrew text of the Jewish Bible for Rabbinic Judaism. However 'contemporary scholars seeking to understand the history of the Hebrew Bible’s text use a range of other sources,'. These include Greek and Syriac translations, quotations from rabbinic manuscripts, the Samaritan Pentateuch and others. Many of these are older than the Masoretic text and often contradict it. While the Masoretic Text defines the books of the Jewish canon, it also defines the precise letter-text of these biblical books, with their vocalization and accentuation known as the Masorah. The MT is widely used as the basis for translations of the Old Testament in Protestant Bibles, and in recent years also for some Catholic Bibles, although the Eastern Orthodox churches continue to use the Septuagint, as they hold it to be divinely inspired. In modern times the Dead Sea Scrolls have shown the MT to be nearly identical to some texts of the Tanakh dating from 200 BCE but different from others. The MT was primarily copied, edited and distributed by a group of Jews known as the Masoretes between the 7th and 10th centuries CE.
