The page

A page of Chumash. When it ends, the next one is there.

בְּרֵאשִׁית בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים אֵת הַשָּׁמַיִם וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ׃

Ezra SIL. Nikud and te’amim as the Masorah has them.

The conductor

Space is the next reading. Shift+Space is the one before. It opens where you left it.

Each letter is the key whose Hebrew letter names the action: ר Rashi, ט te’amim, צ colour, ל learning, ע aliyot, כ ketiv.

Onkelos

Pointed Onkelos, under the Hebrew, or beside it if the window is wide.

בְּקַדְמִין בְּרָא יְיָ יָת שְׁמַיָּא וְיָת אַרְעָא׃

Onkelos on Genesis 1:1, Yemenite Taj.

Rashi

R opens Rashi under the Targum. The Hebrew does not move.

בראשית. אָמַר רַבִּי יִצְחָק לֹא הָיָה צָרִיךְ לְהַתְחִיל אֶת הַתּוֹרָה אֶלָּא מֵהַחֹדֶשׁ הַזֶּה לָכֶם…

Rashi, Rosenbaum and Silbermann.

Ta'amim

Y shows the marks. M colours the phrase. Hover a word for its name.

Hue is the family, shade is the mark. One key turns them off. This page is set in the same colours.

Learning

K is the Torah reading: one word lit, in its own ta’am. Your place in the parasha waits.

בראשית · מפטירו׳:הלימודמֻנַּח

וַיַּ֣רְא יְהֹוָ֔ה כִּ֥י רַבָּ֛ה רָעַ֥ת הָאָדָ֖ם בָּאָ֑רֶץ2%

Aliyot

G is the seven aliyot. A verse number in the margin is that pasuk. Ctrl+G takes a typed one: a verse, a chapter, a book or a reading.

ראשון · שני · שלישי · רביעי · חמישי · שישי · שביעי

All 54 parashot, plus the 7 pairs that are sometimes read together.

Ketiv

F marks a qere and puts the ketiv in the margin.

עַל־הָאָרֶץ הַיְצֵא אִתָּךְ

הוצאכ׳

Genesis 8:17. Read הַיְצֵא, written הוצא.

The text

The Mikra is the Masorah, on the machine. It does not phone home.

פְּתוּחָה · סְתוּמָה

The Masorah's open and closed paragraphs decide where each page's paragraphs begin. Where the Masorah breaks mid-verse, as in the Ten Commandments, that is recorded too.
