	What others are saying

The entire text of the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia, authorized by the Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft and the United Bible Societies. Derived from the Michigan-Claremont BHS text revised under the coordination of Richard E. Whitaker with support from CATSS.

The Hebrew Scriptures are available in six formats, five in Hebrew and one transliterated. The texts are available 1) fully pointed and accented (with cantillation marks) with BHS line breaks; 2) with BHS line breaks formatted in the NewJeruslaem font, but without accents; 3) with BHS line breaks formatted in the NewJerusalemV font without accents; 4) a consonantal version without the vowels and accents; 5) a consonantal version without sin and shin dots; and 6) a transliterated version (vocalized). The four Hebrew formats require LaserHebrew or LaserHebrew II fonts (sold separately) and the transliterated format requires the TranslitSBL font, part of Semitic Transliterator (also sold separately).

The Windows version of the TranslitSBL font is arranged like a standard Windows font, and the Macintosh version of TranslitSBL is arranged like a standard Macintosh font. This means transliterated Scripture text (but not Hebrew text) may be transferred back and forth between Windows and Macintosh owners of these fonts with no conversion necessary. (Instructions for transferring Hebrew text are included in the User's Manuals.)

See samples of all five formats, below.

The Hebrew Scriptures are available for Windows and for Macintosh.

Testimonials

Here's what others are saying about Hebrew Scriptures and MacHebrew Scriptures:

"I have used Linguist's Software fonts for twenty years now and have always been pleased. They are a genuine help in my ministry."
Dr. Judith L. Hill, Evangelical School of Theology, Bangui, Central African Republic

"You always furnish excellent products."
Professor Anson F. Rainey, Tel Aviv University, Ramat Aviv, Israel

"I first bought Macintosh software products from Linguist's Software at least 15 years ago, and I was immediately impressed with their quality and used them for years with no problems whatsoever. When I switched to the Windows platform a few years ago, I tried several different options, but none of them were comparable in quality and ease of use to your products. My purchase a few days ago only served to confirm once again that software from Linguist's Software is in a class by themselves. A satisfied customer..."
