Summary: To this day, the Bible Hebraica Stuttgartensia (BHS) is the only complete critical edition of the Hebrew Bible, with all important text variants and suggested corrections presented in footnotes. It is the successor to the Hebraic Bible edited by Rudolf Kittel. Unlike critical editions of the Greek New Testament, the BHS is not intended to reconstruct the original text of the Hebrew Bible. This would not be possible based on the available manuscripts: the oldest direct textual testimonies are the manuscripts discovered from 1949 in the Judean desert in the Qumran caves on the Dead Sea. Except for a single transcript of the Book of Isaiah that is preserved in its entirety, the biblical texts of Qumran consist exclusively of fragments in which in most cases only a few words in a row can be identified, and often merely individual letters.
