| | Add to this the fact that the consonantal text reflects several different dialects of Hebrew across a period of a thousand years or more and the complexity of the issue becomes immense. | | | These vocalic systems represent the way these biblical texts were pronounced in the 6th century A.D. and it is clear that pronounciation only imperfectly fits the consonantal text at many points. | | | Second, the vocalic system represented in our current Hebrew text was not fully developed until the 6th or 7th century A.D. There are three competing systems of vocalization known (the Tiberian system that is generally employed, and the Babylonian and Palestinian systems). |

| | If this is true, could it tell us new things about what the people behind the Masoretic tradition thought Scripture was? | | | In an environment where the significance of the text was, to put it mildly, disputed, the Tiberians produced a text that not only could only be read one way, but that tried to turn its readers into human tape recorders, playback machines that ventriloquized God's word. | | | This is because the cantillation marks, rarely taught in Biblical Hebrew class, in fact seem to set forth a set of very precise instructions for prosody; that is, they tell you how to intone and express the content of the text. |
