Unicode/XML Leningrad Codex: Text changes still wanted!

Post by cvkimball »

The Unicode/XML Leningrad Codex (UXLC) at <https://tanach.us> is a transcription of the Leningrad Codex (LC). Although decades have been spent by multiple organizations, the transcription is still imperfect. The UXLC allows improvements to be made and attributed to their authors. If you're aware of a discrepancy between the UXLC and the LC please submit a text change; it's easy <https://tanach.us/Pages/SuggestChange.html>. Usually, you will receive a reply in 24 hours and the change published within 6 months.

You might think that any additional changes would be very subtle or technical. The current proposed changes for the 1 April 2026 release,
<https://tanach.us/Changes/2026.04.01%20 ... hanges.xml> have only 3 changes; the first two changes are pretty obvious, the third is an error in the correction process of the UXLC itself. So transcription errors are out there, waiting to be found!
