Kethiv Readings

In the Hebrew Bible, the scribes did not alter any text they felt had been copied incorrectly. Rather they noted in the margin what they thought the written text should be. The written variationiscalled a kethiv and the marginal note is called the qere. Where the translators of the Authorised Version followed the qere reading rather than the kethiv, we indicate the kethiv reading by the number 08675. For example, in Ge 24:33 "was set" is coded as H7760 08675 H3455 . The translators used the qere reading that has Strong's number H7760 but the kethiv reading is Strong's number H3455 . Both words have the same meaning, "was set".
