2017, Encyclopedia of the Bible and Its Reception
The Ketib‐Qere (lit. 'written' and 'read') phenomenon is found in the text of medieval masoretic Hebrew Bibles. This phenomenon indicates that a word must be read in a way different to how it is written in the biblical text. The qere reading is a combination of the consonants found in the margin as part of the Masorah Parva (MP), called qere, and the vowels written in the biblical text below the word that must be read differently, called ketib.
This study deals with the background of the Ketiv/Qere variations in MT, addressing some of its aspects from the angle of the Judean Desert finds and rabbinic literature. Since these variations belong exclusively to the medieval Masorah and Masoretic manuscripts, they should be compared with or looked for in the forerunners of these very manuscripts, that is the so-called proto-Masoretic scrolls. Such scrolls have been found at almost all manuscript sites in the Judean Desert, and a differentiation between the various types of ancient scrolls is in order for a better comparison with the Masoretic Ketiv/Qere variations. When comparing the medieval MT manuscripts with the Judean Desert texts we distinguish between two types of proto-Masoretic scrolls, an inner circle of scrolls and a second circle of such scrolls that are rather similar to them. The inner circle of texts, so named because of their proximity to rabbinic circles, is found in all Judean Desert sites except for Qumran, while a second circle of scrolls was found at Qumran. The texts of the inner circle are identical to the medieval MT text, while those of the second circle are very similar to them. For a detailed description of these two groups of texts, see chapters 10* and 12*. 2. Ancient and Medieval Texts The consonantal framework of the medieval manuscripts is identical to that of the proto-Masoretic Judean Desert scrolls from sites other than Qumran, but there is more to these texts than their consonants. For the medieval tradition also carefully preserved all the scribal features included in its ancient source and they are now part and parcel of the Masorah: puncta extraordinaria (originally: cancellation dots), paragraphing (open and closed sections), raised letters originally meant as corrections, broken letters representing damaged elements, majuscule

The Phenomenon Qere We La’ Ketib in the Main Biblical Codices: New Data2012 •
New relevant data have been obtained by a comparative study on the phenomenon qere we la’ ketib in the main biblical Tiberian codices (Cairo, Aleppo, Leningrad) and their masorot. They modify the general view on the number, the representation and the formula of this phenomenon and show that it is more complex than what has been described up to now.
