The Biblia Hebraica Quinta (BHQ) is the new, globally authoritative edition of the Hebrew Old Testament. It is a groundbreaking standard work for biblical scholarship.
The BHQ edition is being developed from scratch by an international and interdenominational team of scholars. The textual basis of the new edition is the oldest fully preserved manuscript of the Hebrew Bible.
The text-critical apparatus is completely redesigned in this edition and the material presented is greatly expanded. All significant variants from the Qumran texts are now listed in full. For the first time, the edition also contains a detailed commentary section, which makes scientific work easier. Each volume first offers an introduction to the biblical book, in which the relevant textual witnesses are characterized and their use in the critical apparatus is explained. The commentary section not only contains numerous in-depth comments on individual questions critical to the text, but also a translation of the large masorah and explanations of the small masorah. Both the commentary section and the text-critical apparatus are written in English.
