The Masoretic Text is the standard text of the Hebrew Bible for Judaism.
However, contemporary scholars seeking to understand the history of the Hebrew Bible’s text use a range of other sources. These include Greek and Syriac translations, quotations from rabbinic manuscripts, the Samaritan Pentateuch and others such as the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Many of these are older than the Masoretic text and sometimes contradict it.
