Note: He is only fixing grammatical blemishes within the original Hebrew text, I believe.

RAMAT GAN, Israel (AP) — For the past 30 years, Israeli Judaic scholar Menachem Cohen has been on a mission of biblical proportions: Correcting all known textual errors in Jewish scripture to produce a truly definitive edition of the Old Testament.

His edits, focusing primarily on grammatical blemishes and an intricate set of biblical symbols, mark the first major overhaul of the Hebrew Bible in nearly 500 years.

Poring over thousands of medieval manuscripts, the 84-year-old Cohen identified 1,500 inaccuracies in the Hebrew language texts that have been corrected in his completed 21-volume set. The final chapter is set to be published next year.

I wonder if they'll translate this into English. I'd like to take a gander at it.

the fact is that once they have the correct version in Hebraic if they do not see Christ in it and believe it would be just a waste of time,me think...

I wonder if Menachem Cohen found his Messiah while working.
