About This Tag

Tiqqun Soferim ("Corrections of the Scribes") refers to a set of textual changes made by Masoretic scribes (Sopherim) to the Hebrew Bible. These corrections, traditionally numbering 18, were implemented to adjust or correct passages that were deemed disrespectful or inappropriate in their original form, modifying references to God as a form of reverence, and preventing the common person from reading or speaking something disrespectful about God.
