Abstract

We try to observe how the Hebrew text has been received by the sides of the Jewish tradition, which appears in the Masoretic text (TM) or in other sources and commentaries of the text, whether in Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek or Latin, assuming that they are indebted to a tradition originating in the Hebrew text. This is how the Masoretic text of the Hebrew Bible Stuttgartensia (M) is compared with the texts, versions and commentaries that are presented. The comparison is made with the oldest available works, but other later ancient and medieval works are not covered. The works consulted as witnesses to the reception of the text, with their abbreviations, are the following:
4QJosb (Qumran), G (Seventy), V (Vulgate), TgO Targum Onkelos), TgJo (Targum Pseudo Jonathan), Fl. (Flavius Josephus), CroSam II (Samaritan Chronicles), OT Apocrypha
