	Masoretic Text - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The latter are called the Initial Masorah; the notes on the side margins or between the columns are called the Small or Inner Masorah; and those on the lower and upper margins, the Large or Outer Masorah.
		The Final Masorah comprises all the longer rubrics for which space could not be found in the margin of the text, and is arranged alphabetically in the form of a concordance.
		The history of the Masorah may be divided into three periods: (1) creative period, from its beginning to the introduction of vowel-signs; (2) reproductive period, from the introduction of vowel-signs to the printing of the Masorah (1525 CE); (3) critical period, from 1525 to the present time.

		Masorah, which means handing over, focuses on the one handing over the knowledge, that is, the giver.
		Also, among those concepts which we have received from the masorah of the Oral Law is this one: The Author of the Torah, G-d wrote it in a specific format and utilized a unique set of rules.
		Also, the Sages received the tradition that the teachings of the masorah are alluded to in the Written Torah (remazim heim b'Torah shebichtov) through various hints, and these hints themselves follow specific formulas known to the Sages.

		The name "Masorah" occurs in many forms, the etymology, pronunciation, and genetic connection of which are much-mooted points.
		The history of the Masorah may be divided into three periods: (1) creative period, from its beginning to the introduction of vowel-signs; (2) reproductive period, from the introduction of vowel-signs to the printing of the Masorah (1425); (3) critical period, from 1425 to the present time.
		Besides introducing the Masorah into the margin, he compiled at the close of his Bible a concordance of the Masoretic glosses for which he could not find room in a marginal form, and added an elaborate introduction—the first treatise on the Masorah ever produced.

		Beyond that, he does not lose sense of the living context for which he is creating his work—the congregation of simple worshippers in the Sabbath synagogue, whose religious practice and faith he instructs by conveying to them the biblical message both in their vernacular and at their assumed level of understanding.
		The Masorah texts make it clear that we are dealing with a conscious activity and process on the part of the earlier translator.
		Whereas the Masorah to the MT notes infrequent vocabulary and grammatical forms in order to prevent their disappearance at the hands of later copyists, the Masorah to the targum is mostly interested in the preservation of the translational choices made by the earlier meturgeman.

		The term is taken from Ezekiel 20:37 and means originally "fetter." The fixation of the text was correctly considered to be in the nature of a fetter upon its exposition.
		The history of the Masorah may be divided into three periods: (1) creative period, from its beginning to the introduction of vowel-signs; (2) reproductive period, from the introduction of vowel-signs to the printing of the Masorah (1425 CE); (3) critical period, from 1425 CE to the present time.
		In spite of the rivalry of Ben Naphtali and the opposition of Saadia Gaon, the most eminent representative of the Babylonian school of criticism, Ben Asher's codex became recognized as the standard text of the Bible.

	Masorah to the Torah
		Although not entirely certain, it is generally assumed that the Hebrew word "Masorah" should be translated as "tradition," indicating the traditional text and manner of reading for the Bible.
		The study of Masorah has been pursued for as long as the Biblical text has existed, and it would not be correct to speak of particular "authors."
		In ancient times, the chief part of a child's elementary education was devoted to the memorization of the correct reading and chanting of the Bible, without which it could not be transmitted accurately over the generations.

	Masorah of Har Sinai - Forums at EliYah's Home Page
		If we look in the Masorah we see that sages from before and after Yeshua also understand this concept of being "born anew" as a process when someone takes on a new station in life towards YHWH and the sins of their previous life/lifestyle are forgiven.
		Part of the Masorah concerning the Temple services says that at one time there used to be 70 sacrifices made to atone for the 70 nations of the earth.
		Masorah of Har Sinai is a term used to describe an understanding or understandings, which have been (Masorah) delivered from the time that YHWH revealed Himself on Har (Mount) Sinai.

	Congregation Ohave Shalom, Young Israel of Pawtucket, RI
		Traditionally, "Derash" refers to a set of exegeses which are loosely linked to a Torah text, whereas "Peshat" is the 'simple' understanding, the literal translation of a set of words on a paper before us.
		The message of this Gemara is clear: "Peshat" is as much a part of the Masorah as any other method of exegesis, and it requires attribution and tradition, too.
		Both originate in the same source, and both are true understandings of the text, whether dependent on dictionary definition, textual anomaly or Midrashic narrative.

	[No title]
		According to the Ramban, transmitting the masorah - the epochal moment of Har Sinai and overall Jewish tradition - necessitates the educating of Torah.
		Torah knowledge is incorporated as a built-in component of a more general obligation to dispatch the masorah from one generation to the next; a complete and thorough masorah mandates the knowledge of Torah.
		In light of the association drawn by the Ramban between transmitting the masorah and teaching Torah, it is possible to view the father's obligation to teach his son Torah, not as an independent responsibility but as part of his overall mizvah to direct the chinuch of his child and impart to him our masorah.

	Aaron ben Moses ben Asher
		Since most Torah scribes today continue to rely on the writing rules of RaMBaM as their guide, the Masorah as established by Aaron Ben Moses Ben Asher was influential indeed.
		From documents found in the Cairo Geniza, it appears that this most famous masorete (and, possibly, his family for generations) were also, incidentally, Karaites.
		It should not be surprising to discover that many masoretes, so involved in the Masorah, held Karaite beliefs.

	Morsels of Hebrew Grammar
		The qualifications are quoted in some traditional grammar books as being found in the Masorah, and in others without that reference.
		Rabbi Divlitzki points out that words terminating in a long vowel are often perceived as having a virtual Heh in that position and fall within the rule.
		Here it seems that the concern for a most unlikely misreading is the reason for the peculiar pointing.

		Each entry includes several helpful examples to help less advanced students understand the highly abbreviated notations found in the Masorah parva.
		Finally, it includes a substantial bibliography and an index of all cited biblical passages for those interested in pursuing their studies at a deeper level.

		In a book as much read as Jeremias the large number of glosses cannot appear strange.
		But in other cases the shorter recension of the Septuagint, amounting to about 100 words, which can be opposed to its large lacunæ, as compared with the Masorah, are sufficient proof that considerable liberty was taken in its preparation.
		Consequently, it was not made by an Aquila, and it received textual changes in the literary transmission.
