No, in fact there are no original Hebrew punctuation points. traditional punctuation points were invented after the 9th century...long after the Hebrew Bible was written.

The most common "original-ish" punctuation points are:

  • maqaf (־)
  • geresh (׳)
  • gershayim (״)
  • meteg ( ֽ )
  • inverted nun (׆)
  • sof pasuq (׃)
  • paseq (׀)
