Halm in Argo-. naut; The most ancient Hebrew manuscript of any part of the Bible is in St. Peters- burg and dates no earlier than the tenth century. More than 2,000 copies of the Hebrew Old Testament have been com- pared, and very few variations have been found. This is accounted for by the fact that from the time when the Hebrew canon was formed, and even be- fore that time, very strict rules were laid down for the scribes who copied the Bible. The lines and letters were counted, and each copy had to corre- spond precisely with the - one from which it was taken.` They calculated, for instance, that there were.5, 245 verses , in the Pentateuch, 22,206 in the whole Bible and 78,100 letters in Genesis. All of these rules and calculations were called the Massorah tradition, and about the tenth century the` college of rabbis of Tiberias, on the Euphrates, decided upon a standard Bible. or authorized version. ` _ 01-_a______ _______,___._,_ __1,`__ 1"; VUI'U.lUl.Io The Hebrew consonants alone had been written down up to that time, the pronunciation being a matter of tradi- tion. N ow a system of vowel signs was devised, xing the sense in many in- . stances. The vowels are just as impor- tant in Hebrew as in English; so it is easy to see how necessary this reform was. The English consonants b r d may be read board or bread,or bored or braid, and if they occurred in assn- T tence without the vowels we should have to guess by the connection which vowels were necessary. It is possible that after a text had been adopted all older manuscripts were destroyed, or more probably were neglected because of their detects. and hence they have- altc'gethervdisappeared.-"-Bevicwv of Be- nn: A-11 unsung. .
