description

2Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia (BHS) is known to be the definitive edition of the Hebrew Bible. It is widely regarded as a reliable edition of the Hebrew and Aramaic scriptures and is still the most widely used original-language edition among scholars.

For the first time, the text of the BHS is offered here in a particularly reader-friendly edition. The text-critical apparatus is replaced by a dense network of reading and translation aids at the bottom of each page.

The BHS Reader's Edition at a glance:

Complete text of the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia, checked against the Leningrad Codex
All words that occur fewer than 70 times are parsed and contextually defined
All weak verb forms are parsed
A glossary lists words occurring more than 70 times
Improved layout of poetic text
High quality paper does not bleed through
