The word "Masoretic" is derived from the Hebrew term "מַסּוֹרֶת" (Masoret), which means "tradition" or "transmission". It refers to a group of Jewish scholars and scribes known as the Masoretes, who meticulously preserved and transmitted the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) over many centuries. The Masoretes were active between the 6th and 10th centuries CE and added vowel points, annotations, and various textual features to the biblical text to ensure its accurate reading and pronunciation. The term "Masoretic" is used to describe the Hebrew text and textual traditions preserved by these scholars, specifically in relation to the authoritative edition called the "Masoretic Text".
