Now I have the OTA text from www.stackpole.freeserve.co.uk/hebrew/bhs.zip I
did the conversion to a accented text. It is amazing, it's all there.
I have some questions that I hope can be answered:
1. At certain places I find the characters '3 [' in the text. For example
Psalm 11:2 between the second and third word of verse 2. Where does '3 ['
stand for?
2 While at Psalm 11:2: In my printed BH (edition 1975, last edition of Kittel
prior to BHS) I see a mahpak below the first and the second word, KI and
HINNE. In the OTA text I see a mahpak below KI but a galgal below HINNE. I
just wonder: is this one of the things that is different between my Kittel
and BHS?
