Hebrew: The
ten formats of the Hebrew texts are formatted
with the beautiful NewJerusalemU Unicode-encoded
Hebrew font, one of nine fonts available in the
LaserHebrew in Unicode
product family. Eight of these unique fonts include all vowels, accents and cantillation
marks, and other diacritical marks used in the
Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia
(BHS),
and are the only fonts available today which reproduce all of the forms,
properly positioned, that occur in the BHS/Leningrad Codex.
The NewJerusalemU font and these texts are being used to produce the new
Oxford Hebrew Bible
(page 13 of the OHB Guide for Editors identifies the Greek and Hebrew fonts
and texts from Linguist's Software being used). The Hebrew texts described below are formatted with the NewJerusalemU font, but users may
reformat the texts with any of the fonts in LaserHebrew in Unicode (except
for ScriptHebrewU, which is consonantal only).
Any portion of the Hebrew Scriptures can be copied and pasted into other
documents, e.g.:
See below for a description of all
ten Hebrew formats.
Transliterated:
The Hebrew Scriptures are also available transliterated, SBL-style,
vocalized, using
our new Unicode-encoded transliteration font,
TranslitLSU. This Times®-style font, part of the
Semitic Transliterator in Unicode product, includes all the characters and
diacritics necessary to transliterate the Hebrew Scriptures, the
Greek Old and New Testaments, and other Semitic languages.
Adding transliterated portions of the BHS to your documents is now as simple
as a copy and paste operation. The transliterated texts can be purchased in
two formats, described below.
Summary Description of the
Twelve Arrangements
The Hebrew Scriptures texts are available
in twelve formats, summarized here.
When you
purchase any one full-priced format (USD $59.95) additional formats
are only $20 each when purchased at the same time. Or purchase all 12
formats together (Hebrew Scriptures Professional in Unicode) for only
$99.95. The individual links
below take you down the page to samples
(Genesis 1:1-4) of each format, or click

The
Effect of Justified Paragraphs on Poetry |
| |
|
If you purchase either of the two Justified
Paragraph texts, most Psalms (and other poetry) are one continuous,
fully justified paragraph, as this sample of Psalms 1
demonstrates. |
| |
|
 |
| |
|
Users who purchase one of the
Justified Paragraph
formats may therefore also wish to purchase the BHS Line Breaks
format in order to get the poetic texts with BHS line breaks, as Psalms 1
is shown here. The cost of a second (and any additional) format is only
$20 when purchased at the same time as a full-priced format. |

The Hebrew Scriptures text is provided in Word for Windows files (compatible
with Word 2007, 2003 and 2002). The texts are available in the twelve formats described above (ten in Hebrew and two
transliterated).
Windows System
Requirements:
 |
Fonts
|
|
Operating System
|
The Hebrew Scriptures in Unicode requires
Windows 7, Vista, XP or 2000 SP3 with Hebrew supplemental language support
installed. (Instructions for installing this component into Windows
are provided with LaserHebrew in Unicode for Windows. You must have
your original Windows CD, OEM-provided Recovery CD, or pre-loaded
CAB files to install supplemental language support.) |
|
The Hebrew Scriptures in Unicode Transliterated requires Windows
7, Vista, XP, or 2000 SP3. |
|
|
Applications
|
The Hebrew Scriptures in Unicode
requires
Word 2010, 2007, or 2003 (or another component of Office 2010, 2007,
or 2003), InDesign CS4 (with World Tools or ScribeDOOR installed),
OpenOffice.org
3,
Lotus Symphony 1.3, or another
Unicode-compatible application that handles Hebrew vowels and accents
similarly to Word 2010/2007/2003. At the time this product was released we were
not aware of any other applications that support the features in these
fonts. QuarkXPress 8.02 has been tested, and
is not compatible. |
|
The Hebrew Scriptures in Unicode Transliterated requires any
version of Word from Word 97 on, or any Unicode-compatible application that can read a Word file. |
|
WordPerfect
(tested through v12), QuarkXPress
v6.5 and earlier, FrameMaker, and PageMaker do not support the Hebrew Scriptures (Hebrew or Transliterated) in Unicode,
since these applications are not Unicode-compatible. |
|
|
Notes
|
Files created with these texts are compatible
with the Macintosh version of the texts. No conversion
of files is necessary when transferring files to the Macintosh if
your applications are fully Unicode-aware and LaserHebrew in Unicode
and/or Semitic Transliterator in Unicode is installed on both systems. |
|
Note: these are Bible text files only (Word files), and not a concordance program. The
files are designed to work in your Unicode-aware applications and allow
you to copy and paste, and print, portions of the Hebrew Scriptures and
to search or manipulate them in any way supported by these applications.
But there is no search or concording feature built into the product. This product is valuable to Biblical scholars because it provides the
Hebrew Scriptures formatted for use with our Unicode-encoded fonts (Hebrew
fonts and transliteration fonts), and
because the files will work in any Unicode-aware, OpenType-enabled application.
(In the case of the Hebrew, the application must also support Hebrew vowels
and accents.) Thus users are not limited to using the full text in
a single Bible-search program.
Cost: US$ 59.95 for any
one format; $20 for each additional format
purchased at the same time.
Or purchase all 12
formats together (Hebrew Scriptures Professional in Unicode) for only
$99.95.

files are designed to work in Mellel/Word and allow you to copy, paste, and print, portions of the Hebrew Scriptures and
to search or manipulate them in any way supported by Mellel/Word.
But there is no search or concording feature built into the product. This product is valuable to Biblical scholars because it provides the
Hebrew Scriptures formatted for use with our Unicode-encoded fonts, and
because the files will work in any Unicode-aware, OpenType-enabled application.
(In the case of the Hebrew texts, the application must also support Hebrew vowels and accents, currently
supported only by Mellel.)

Here's what others are saying about Hebrew Scriptures in Unicode:
"This is awesome!"
Dr. Panos CR Comninos, Cape Town, South Africa
"Everything worked out: sendfile, install and the font! The font works
the way I wanted - text looks great!"
Veli and Heli Voipio, Hensinki, Finland
"Thank you very much for your splendid array of products for Hebrew Bible
and transliteration."
Prof. Walter Houston, Mansfield College, Oxford University
"Thank you for the amazing work you do. This program is very
good. I really like your Hebrew keyboard. Thank you for the incredible
contribution you have made to the Lord's work."
Stephen Miller, Southhaven, Mississippi
"Thank you very much for your help and explanations. I love your
products."
Michael J. Rowe, Barensville, GA
"Your fonts are beautiful. I think what Linguist's Software has done is
beyond superlatives. This is your merit. You can quote me on this. I really
mean it 1000%. What you have done is historical, and you should be proud of
it. After 120 years, you could point your finger at that among other
things."
Rabbi Israel Seldowitz, President, GoHebrew and TalmudWorld
"In 2005 I purchased the Hebrew Scriptures in
Unicode with BHS line breaks and Fully Justified as well as the LaserHebrew in
Unicode fonts from you. I must say that I am very impressed. You have saved me
hours of time every week in typing the Scriptures for exegesis and what joy I
had lost is back again. I am so thankful to God for Linguist's Software, Dr.
Payne and his staff. You even made it possible for me to read my UBS in the font
I grew up with! Foolish of me, I suppose, but there is some comfort in that and
it speeds up my recognition of things. In the Mellel processor you sold me I can
easily alternate between English, Latin, Greek, Hebrew and German. Now my study
materials and papers look like I had hoped they would. And I see that, if I
should like a font that works well with whatever English fonts I have, that you
are making those available too. Just excellent! You restore font-work to the
eye-aiding practical art it should be. Thank you again. Gott bei Ihnen!"
Rev. Bradley E. Ragner, BA, MDiv., Pastor Messiah Ev. Lutheran Church
Shiocton, Wisconsin, USA
"I received the Hebrew software (fonts and BHS
texts) yesterday and everything works very well. The ability to switch
seamlessly between the two languages is wonderful!"
John Nathan Clayton
"Thank you very much. I received all the files
and everything works very fine. I have great pleasure with your products, the
Hebrew BIBLE-Text and LaserHebrew in Unicode. Again I want to thank you for all
your service and help. May GOD bless you and your work and products, because
they gave me new inspiration and joy in reading and writing HIS HOLY SCRIPTURES.
SHALOM"
Christoph Metz, Cölbe, Germany
"Everything is working fine."
Professor Nathan Jastram, Concordia University Wisconsin
