Masorah refers to the traditional body of Jewish textual scholarship that preserves the accurate transmission of the Hebrew Bible. It encompasses the annotations, notes, and traditions that guide the reading and interpretation of the scriptures, ensuring that the text remains consistent across generations. The Masorah is often associated with the work of the Masoretes, Jewish scribes from the 6th to 10th centuries who meticulously copied and annotated biblical texts. Their efforts resulted in the creation of the Masoretic Text, which is the authoritative Hebrew text of the Jewish Bible used in religious practice today.
