Sources & licences: UXLC, JPS 1917

Hebrew text

Unicode/XML Leningrad Codex (UXLC), UXLC 2.6 (build 27.7, 19 Oct 2026), published by Tanach.us Inc., West Redding, CT, USA: tanach.us. Derived from the Westminster Leningrad Codex 4.20 (Groves Center) with corrections since. Licence: “All biblical Hebrew text, in any format, may be viewed or copied without restriction.” The publisher asks to be cited as the source and that the text is not called the Westminster Leningrad Codex.

The words are reproduced exactly as in the UXLC files, with vowels (niqqud) and cantillation (te’amim), the open and closed section breaks (פ and ס), ketiv and qere (shown as (ketiv) [qere]), and the large, small and suspended letters. UXLC’s own transcription notes (letter codes about the manuscript) are not shown. The “niqqud only” and “consonants only” settings remove marks for display in your browser; the page always contains the full text.

English translation

The Holy Scriptures According to the Masoretic Text: A New Translation, Jewish Publication Society of America, 1917. Public domain. The digital text comes from Sefaria (version “The Holy Scriptures: A New Translation (JPS 1917)”, licence: Public Domain), who imported it from the Open Siddur Project’s transcription of page images shared by JPS. The text is reproduced as published there.

JPS 1917 numbers three passages differently from the Hebrew: the four short commandments in Exodus 20:13 and Deuteronomy 5:17 are one verse in JPS and four in the Hebrew (here the English is split at its sentences and each piece shows its JPS number), and JPS joins Numbers 25:19 to 26:1. Everywhere else its verse numbers are the Hebrew ones.

Torah readings

The aliyot and haftarot (Ashkenazi and Sephardi), and the special readings for Rosh Chodesh, Chanukah, the four special Shabbatot and festivals, come from the tables of @hebcal/leyning 10.1.0. The calendar and the yearly schedule are calculated by this site’s own code and were checked against hebcal.com’s published schedule for 2024–2030, in Israel and the Diaspora.
