Qere and Ketiv

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Qere and Ketiv, from the Aramaic qere or q're, קְרֵי (" read") and ketiv, or ketib, kethib, kethibh, kethiv, כְּתִיב, also known as "keri uchesiv" or "keri uchetiv," (" written"), refer to a small number of differences between what is written in the consonantal text of the Hebrew Bible, as preserved by scribal tradition, and what is read. In such situations, the Qere is the technical orthographic device used to indicate the pronunciation of the words in the Masoretic text of the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh), while the Ketiv indicates their written form, as inherited from tradition.
