The Hebrew text used for One New Man Bible was the Masoretic Text, named for the Masoretes who faithfully copied the text. The name Masorete comes from the word Masorah, meaning Tradition. The Masoretes counted the use of each letter on each line and the words on each line, with a mistake causing the manuscript to be destroyed. The Qumran Scrolls have shown the Masoretic text to be quite accurate, more so than any other Hebrew text.
