unfoldingWord® Hebrew Bible

An open-licensed, lexically tagged, morphologically parsed Hebrew Old Testament. It enables the global Church to have access to the original texts of the Old Testament.

Basis

The UHB is based on the Open Scriptures Hebrew Bible (OSHB) version 2.1. This project is the Westminster Leningrad Codex with Strongs lexical data and morphological data marked up in OSIS files.

Changes from the OSHB

The UHB differs from the OSHB in two respects (though more may be coming):

• Metadata - The UHB text includes various metadata to mark the text which create links to other content that our software uses. For example, we add links to our unfoldingWord® Translation Words articles where appropriate.
• Joined words (for example: inseparable prepositions, the definite article, conjunctive waw) are separated using a unicode WORD JOINER (U+2060) character instead of the / character that the OSHB uses.
• The UHB is encoded in USFM 3.0 instead of the OSIS that the OSHB uses.
