Kethib
Kethib (or Kethibh or Kethiv or Ketiv; Aramaic, or ܟܬܝܒ "[what is] written") is a term used to refer to the forms appearing in the consonantal text of the Hebrew Bible as they were preserved by scribal tradition. Torah scrolls for use in public reading in synagogues contain only the consonantal text, but most other published editions of the Tanakh also contain a set of marginal notes along with the vowelization of the text, indicating when a word's consonants should be adjusted so as to conform to an accepted reading -- called the Qere, "(what is) read.
