Yohanan Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Hi, I just downloaded Accordance on a brand new machine. I am unable to find a text (BHS 4 ed reviewed by Schenker) that was installed on my preceding Accordance files, besides the HMT W4. This last one is on the Accordance I just downloaded but not the other. I am not sure what the cause of this might be. Thanks for any help.

Timothy Jenney Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) Hi, Yohanan! First, be sure to recheck Easy Install and make sure you have downloaded all your purchased resources. We've upgraded and replaced some texts. I believe the current Hebrew Bibles are the HMT-W4 [Hebrew Bible (Biblica Hebraica Tagged)], BHS-T (Biblica Hebraica Stuttgartensia Tagged), and BHQ (Biblical Hebraica Quinta). The latter two Bibles have apparatus[es]. I do still have the BHS-W4 on my own computer, but I believe that is the older version, which we have since replaced with the newer HMT-W4. They are identical texts—and the Hebrew syntax is linked to HMT-W4, so it is the one you want. Edited July 14, 2015 by Timothy Jenney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Simpson Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Hi, Yohanan! ]. I do still have the BHS-W4 on my own computer, but I believe that is the older version, which we have since replaced with the newer HMT-W4. They are identical texts—and the Hebrew syntax is linked to HMT-W4, so it is the one you want. Thanks Tim, great info, but for clarity I'd like to add... HMT-W4 is the next development of the text - so the text is the same text in that the BHS-W4 replaced the HMT-W4. However, there are now multiple (though mostly small) differences between the two texts. The HMT-W4 also has multiple differences in the tagging of words as Westminster develops its database. Hope that helps Yohanan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy Jenney Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Thanks for the clarification, Ken. I forgot we parted ways on the tagging. I've been treating the two texts as if they were identical. I guess it's time to discard this old one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yohanan Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) Dear Timothy, Thank you for answering my question. Allow me to clarify the difficulty I have. On my old MBA I have two Hebrew Bibles. • One is named: Hebrew Bible (BHS) Tagged. The icon represents the cover of the volumes as they appear in Stuttgart and the info linked to it says this is the 4th edition edited by Adrian Schenker. (My friend and colleague Adrian entered into this edition hundreds of corrections of errors in the reproduciton of the Leningradensis, which is why I use it on my old MBA.) This is only v. 4.14 of the Groves-Wheeler Westminster Hebrew Morphology year 2000. • The other one is called Hebrew Bible (Biblia Hebraica) Tagged. The icon represents one of the magnificent color pages of Leningradensis with a drawing form of Massora text and the info linked to it specifies that this is the v. 4.18 of the Groves-Wheeler Westminster Hebrew Morphology (year 2013?). I do understand that you recommend this last one, because it is the last ameliorated module fo Accordance (is there any place where one can find what has been done ?). I am just a bit unsettled because I wonder if the text as corrected by Schenker (it was 1997 I think that the "Fünfte verbesserte Auflage" of BHS was published) which is said to be the basis of the first one has been abandonned in the second and last one (HMT-W4). Friendly. Yohanan Edited July 18, 2015 by Yohanan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I know this is a little complicated. If you want the text of the Stuttgartensia you should use the BHS-T which is tagged and has the apparatus from the German Bible Society. The other text with Westminster tagging but no apparatus has undergone some name changes over the years. It was called HMT, then HMT-T, then BHS-W4 and now HMT-W4. The original etext may have been based on the Stuttgartensia, but the Groves Institute has been refining and correcting the text and especially the vowelling and diacriticals to the Leningrad codex. Thus for a number of years it should not have been called BHS. This text has the latest tagging corrections. The Get Info on the latest rev includes: Hebrew Bible (Biblia Hebraica) TaggedHebrew Masoretic Text with Westminster Hebrew Morphology (HMT-W4)Groves-Wheeler Westminster Hebrew Morphology, v. 4.18.J. Alan Groves Center for Advanced Biblical ResearchVersion 1.6 I hope this helps to clarify the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
