The starting point for any study of the Bible is the Masoretic Text, as designed by the Masoretes, which succeeded in creating a permanent text that was preserved throughout the generations in distant lands. Yosef Ofer's book enables readers to understand the methods of the miraculous and complex defense mechanism of the Masora, as well as to examine its effectiveness and degree of success. On this background, the uniqueness of the Aleppo Codex is revealed, as the most accurate and most authorized biblical Manuscript.
