The Twelve Prophets

The Hebrew University Bible Project Edition

Synopsis
The Twelve Prophets volume of the the Hebrew University Bible Project presents a diplomatic editio maior of the text of the Hebrew Bible, based upon the Aleppo Codex, with variants from other textual testaments recorded in a system of apparatuses. The readings collated in the edition are culled from a broad variety of sources, including the ancient translations (Greek Septuagint and revisions, Latin Vulgate, Syriac Peshitta, Aramaic Targum Jonathan), Dead Sea Scrolls, biblical quotations in rabbinic literature, Genizah fragments, a broad array of medieval Hebrew manuscripts representing the Masoretic text, up to Jacob Ben-Hayyim’s Second Biblia Rabbinica of 1524-25. This extensive documentation reflects the attested transmission history of the biblical text, covering a period of almost two millennia.
Reviews

"The fourth volume of the Hebrew University Bible Project (HUBP), dedicated to the Twelve Prophets, stands as a remarkable scholarly  achievement. It is highly accessible, with a clear introduction, well-structured appendixes, and a meticulous presentation of the Hebrew text, Masoretic notes, and critical apparatuses." - Innocent Himbaza, Review of Biblical Literature, November 2025
