Preface to the JPS 1917 Edition


The English text in this HTML edition of the Hebrew Bible is based on
the electronic text (c) by Larry Nelson (P.O. Box 1681, Cathedral
City, CA 92234 USA, nelsonlarry@juno.com) as found on the Internet in
differing copies.  In addition to converting his text to HTML, we did
correct a few typographical errors, based mostly on comparing the
various text versions we found, and took out all of the paragraph
marks (), which were not based on the Hebrew original.  We have added
signs for the paragraphs found in the original Hebrew:  In the poetical
books of Psalms, Job (aside from the beginning and end), and Proverbs,
each verse normallly starts on a new line; where there is a new line
within a verse, we added {N}, and when there is a blank line, we added
{P}.  In the rest of the books, we added {S} for setumah (open space
within a line) and {P} for petuHah (new paragraph on new line)
according to our Hebrew Bible).  We have not tried to reproduce the
complex structure of the special songs such as in Exodus 15 and
Deuteronomy 32, as we do not think that that would make sense in
English.
