Abstract

The major differences between Biblia Hebraica Quinta (BHQ) and editions of Biblia Hebraica (BHS) have been described in detail in the General Introduction to BHQ in the published Megilloth volume. These include format changes such as the layout of the text, the principles for inclusion of collated witnesses, explanation of the critical apparatus, and the rationale for including cases in the commentary volume. This chapter illustrates more specific points of differences between BHQ and BHS as far as the book of Ezra-Nehemiah is concerned. These points are to be seen in the following five areas: availability of new resources; comparison with other Tiberian MSS; representation of the Masorah; inclusion of 1 Esdras as a constant witness; and the circumscribed use of suggestions for textual emendation. The text for the Septuagint or Old Greek (G) is based on the Gottingen edition published in 1993. Keywords: Biblia Hebraica (BHS) ; Biblia Hebraica Quinta (BHQ) ; Ezra-Nehemiah; Gottingen edition; Masorah
