The text of the Qumran biblical manuscripts is not available in any software package, even though several texts have been encoded privately. 3 The text of MT is thus available in several commercial software packages bearing such names as Accordance, Bible Works, 4 Jewish Classics Library, Quest, Logos, WordSearch, Gramcord, Bible Windows, Global Jewish Database, etc.ДҐ. No less than twelve software packages offer the Hebrew Bible text, all reflecting BHS or codex L, except the Bar-Ilan database. On the other hand, the Bar-Ilan database, Tokhnit 'HaQeter', displays the Aleppo codex, which differs in only a small number of details from codex L, but for students of grammar these differences are important. The so-called Michigan-Claremont-Westminster text, the main text used, has been corrected according to codex L. In principle, these two sources should be identical, as BHS is based on codex L, but in practice they are not. The great majority of the software programs of the Hebrew Bible represent Codex Leningradensis or BHS.

However, with emulation programs, the PC programs can now be used on the Macintosh, and the Accordance program can be used on a PC.Д¤. This separation allows the programmers of Accordance to offer sophisticated search programs for the text without accents, since these accents are not needed for the great majority of our needs.ДЈ.Дљll available software packages are designed exclusively for a PC environment except for Accordance (Macintosh) and the Jewish Classics Library (PC and Macintosh). The Accordance program offers two separate text files, one with accents (HMT-C), and one without them (HMT-T). Such texts usually contain the vocalized MT without cantillation signs, although the Bar-Ilan database includes them. Individual products and websites are listed in the next section.Дў.Дљt this point in time, the existence of the Hebrew Bible in computer-readable form, with vowels and accents, and of the Greek Bible with accents, is a fait accompli. 2 In this Introduction, I will give an overview of the types of material available. Usually the rule is, the more recent the program, the more sophisticated the software. This article lists the electronic resources of which I am aware in February 2003, both freely available and in commercial software packages (indicated with an asterisk in the list below).
