How far back in antiquity can we trace the oral tradition underlying Tiberian Hebrew?

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: In an appreciable number of instances, the Tiberian Hebrew vocalization of words or forms in the Hebrew Bible differs between the early and late sub-corpora. This phenomenon suggests that the oral reading tradition issuing in the received text of the Hebrew Bible reaches back further than is commonly envisaged.
