Cairo Genizah : Masora

Cairo Genizah

<p style='text-align: justify;'>The first two columns of the recto contain an alphabetical list of words, each of which occurs three times in the Hebrew Bible, twice preceded by a waw, and once without a waw. The contents of the list (though not the order of the contents) corresponds in most of its details to list 15 of Díaz Esteban’s edition of the Halle manuscript of Sefer Oḵla we-Oḵla (Díaz Esteban 1975, 39-40). The third column contains unidentified masoretic lists, including a discussion of the various occurrences of על אדמת׳ vs. אל אדמת׳. The verso contains lists of various different groups of hapax legomena, such as the group of hapax legomena consisting of words ending in תם.</p>
