Genesis 45

Reading a scroll line

[ אבג ]

Grey, in brackets: letters the editor supplied. Where a lacuna runs over three words or more, only its first and last word are set; the words between keep their width but are left blank, so the size of the gap stays visible.

א̇

A dot above the letter: the reading is identified but uncertain.

°

A letter surviving only as illegible traces.

.

A lost letter inside a lacuna.

Everything else in a manuscript line is extant text. The verse-final ׃ is not printed there, and the scroll lines are consonantal throughout. Sigla are those of the ETCBC dataset.

Hover over any word, in either text, for its lexeme and morphology; on a touch screen, tap it. A word underlined with dots carries a qere, and the card gives the form to be read.
