Qere
Qere (from Aramaic קרי "to be read") is a marginal note in a traditional Hebrew text, especially the Hebrew Bible. In contrast to Kethib, Qere is an attempt by the Masoretic scribes to indicate a reading of the text preferred by them, without changing the consonant letters of the traditional Biblical text as it had been handed down to them (hence the appearance of the consonant letters of the Qere only in the margin).
