 Ancient Hebrew Text - Biblical Names
The Codex Leningrad is one of the surviving Masoretic texts.
This was an attempt at standardizing the text and pronunciation by comparing all of the then known copies of the Hebrew Bible to form one complete text that represented the original writings.
In just the first 3 verses of chapter 53, a total of 23 words in the Masoretic text and 24 words in the Great Isaiah scroll, I found 19 letters that were different between the two texts.

 The Text of the Hebrew Bible
The extant Hebrew text of the Old Testament text is commonly called the Masoretic, to distinguish it from the text of the ancient versions as well as from the Hebrew text of former ages.
After the completion of the Masoretic textual work and the collection of the notes having reference to it, no essential change was made in the text; consequently this period is the time of the faithful preservation, multiplication, and circulation of the Masoretic text.
This Masoretic text does not present the original form but a text which within a certain period was fixed by Jewish scholars as the correct and only authoritative one.

 Masoretic Text
The Masoretic Text (MT) is the Hebrew text of the Tanakh approved for general use in Judaism.

 The Masoretic Text
The Masoretic Text is based upon the Hebrew which was rejected by the early Christians, who were the true Israel of God.
However, the Hebrew text that it contains is clearly not the original Hebrew, nor even the Hebrew that was in use in the 1st century AD.
The Masoretic Text, other than the Dead Sea Scrolls, is the only existing representation of the Old Testament in Hebrew.

 The Errancy of the Masoretic Text and the KJV
The Errancy of the Masoretic Text and the KJV
Thus, the Masoretic Text is found to be corrupted both internally and in its relation with the New Testament, while the Septuagint is found to be reliable on both counts, and also the Septuagint was the universal Bible of the first century Christians.
So then not only is the Masoretic Text divinely inspired, but any mistranslations in the KJV, either of the Old or New Testament were somehow purposely put in their by God.

 [sword-devel] The Masoretic Text
The basis that the Masoretic text is in someway satanistic or changed to favour one group over another, shows ignorance, and fear, and is based on antisemitism 7.
Ironically, it is the very Talmud that supported the Masoretes, from which all bibles are based was burned, the very acknowledgement that the OT the Christians used was to a large extent, mostly accurate was burned.
Today, the notion that the masoretic tradition is in fact a plot to change the meaning of the text has firstly been discredited, and secondly has been shown to be based on ignorance, antisemitism and fear.

 Talk:Masoretic Text - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A difficulty in bringing the 1903 text up to date is that it uses the word Masorete to refer to people from pre-Talmudic times (say 1st century) whereas the modern usage is to only use the word for the period from about the 5th or 6th century onwards.
Many of the other things, for example the division into verses, open and closed sections, and books, predate the Masoretes as we now know from the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Separate articles on cantillation, section divisions, special letters and signs, and other unique features of the masoretic text.

 Manuscript Evidence by Dr. Thomas Holland - Lesson Eight
The Masoretic Text is the traditional Hebrew Old Testament text of both Judaism and Protestantism (The Catholic Church, historically, used the Latin translation of Jerome based on the Greek LXX).
It was his text which was used by the translators of the King James Bible for their work in the Old Testament, and it was the basis of Kittel's first two editions of his Hebrew text.
Thus we see that the Masoretic Text existed prior to the writings of the New Testament, was used as the official Hebrew Old Testament at the time of the establishing of the Biblical canon, and has been used since as the official representation of the Hebrew originals.

 what is the masoretic text and is in the christian's bible?
We now know the Septuagint is the errant text and one needs to begin to examine the origin of this translation in order to come to an understanding who it was that was behind the translation, and the existing religious beliefs of the sect that translated it, and their reasons for doing so.
It would seem that if such beliefs and dogmas in the Hebrew Masoretic text had been wrong and different ones and changes in the Greek translation had been right, then Jesus would have been a hypocrite to teach from and correct others from a Hebrew Masoretic text which was not authoritative or Divine.
Understand the Greek texts and translation of the Jewish Scriptures existed in his day and this Greek Bible had 4 divisions and not 3 like the Jewish Bible.

The Masoretes were the scribes that were given the responsibility of guarding and keeping the text of the Old Testament, and keep it well they surely did, as we shall soon see.
The Ben Asher text was based on a text call the Leningrad Manuscript (B19a; also called simply L), which was dated around 1008 A. Using the peculiar logic of that day, which believed that older must always be better, Kittel published his 1937 edition based on this "older" text.
Today this work is called the Ben Chayyim Masoretic Text, and is the text that underlies the Old Testament of the King James Bible.

 Septuagint
Rather than vindicating the Masoretic text as being the original Hebrew text, the thousands of Qumran text specimens reveal that there was a definite diversity of text types of the Old Testament in use during the centuries before Christ.
However, during the 1800s, scholars began to postulate that perhaps the reason for the variance between the Septuagint and the Masoretic text was that the translators of the Septuagint were working from an earlier Hebrew text that varied from the later Masoretic text.
What I did not realize until recently was that the Hebrew Masoretic text does not say, "the virgin shall be with child." It says, "the young woman shall be with child." No wonder the apostles and their disciples chose the Septuagint over the Masoretic text.

 The King James (1611) Bible and the Masoretic text - Stormfront White Nationalist Community
The folks who provided the source texts for the Protestant Reformation (Masoretic Text) were probably the ones who modified the original texts and elevated Yahweh (Jehova) to the position of supreme god from his prior position as one of the sons of the supreme god "El".
You do not have to be able to read archaic text to understand the Word of God, yet, at the same time, you should not make light of the basic tenants to exercise sexual responsibility as presented in the easier to read K J V 1611.
Therefore, those who subsequently tampered with the Hebrew text were probably Yahweh-only editors who wanted to erase the original distinction between El and Yahweh and to depict Yahweh as the one and only God.

 Scholarly Myths Perpetuated On Rejecting the Masoretic Text of the Old Testament
Biblical critics have rejected the Hebrew Masoretic text of the OT and perpetuated historical myths about the language and text of the OT.
The popular expression of the mythical views of the language and text of the OT follows these fallacious assumptions: 1) The language God gave Adam in the garden is unknown.
Critical scholars are still tweaking the Hebrew text in order to give some assurance to Christians of what God has said in the OT.

 Textus Receptus/Masoretic Text-based foreign language Bibles
The "received text" of the Spanish country is that underlying the traditional Spanish translation, that is, underlying the Reina-Valera Bible.
Because the TBS Catalan New Testament is based on the "received text" of the English-speaking world, it conflicts with the Biblical authority "received text" recognized for centuries by Castilian-dialect Spanish countrymen.
It might be of interest to you that there ARE differences in text between the KJV and the Reina-Valera, and they have to do only with Reformation texts, and not at all with Westcott and Hort.

 A New Look at the LXX -- The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Septuagint
Remember, the Masoretic "text," as we have it today, was not itself finalized and completed, in its final form, until the years 500-900 A.D., centuries after the time of the early apostles and the beginnings of the New Testament Church of God!
In analyzing Biblical texts, documents, and manuscripts, and the different versions we have, today, we must remember that although the Masoretic Text is today recognized as the official text of the Old Testament Scriptures, it is by no means a "perfect" text.
The Septuagint Text was the standard text used by Jews in the synagogues in the Gentile world, and also became the standard text used by early Christians.
