Summary

Description
English: Zipf law plot (frequency as function of frequency rank) for the first five books (Torah, Pentateuch) of the Hebrew Bible. The original text is the Hebrew language version (the Masoretic text), with vowel points but without cantillation marks. That texts is a 10th century compilation of texts written probably around ~500 BCE, based on even earlier texts. The file was obtained from the Sacred Texts site, maintained by John B. Hare, and was converted to an ad-hoc single-byte encoding designed to look vaguely phonetic under an ISO-Latin-1 font.

The books and the respective word frequency files are:

  • Book 1, Bereis (Genesis). Sample: b¤°rë¡s¹ïy± b¤ârâ¡ ¡°êlöhïym ¡ë± häs¤¹âmäyïm w°¡ë± hâ¡ârêþ w°hâ¡ârêþ [...] wäy¤äçän°tw¤ ¡ö±wö wäy¤ïys²êm b¤â¡ârwön b¤°mïþ°râyïm. File hebr/tav/gen.1/gud.wfr (17211 words, N = 7212 distinct).
  • Book 2, Shmot (Exodus). Sample: w°¡ël¤êh s¹°mwö± b¤°nëy yïs²°râ¡ël häb¤â¡ïym mïþ°rây°mâh ¡ë± yä¿°äqöb [...] b¤wöl°¿ëynëy kâlb¤ëy±yïs²°râ¡ël b¤°kâlmäs°¿ëyhêm. File hebr/tav/exo.1/gud.wfr (13870 words, N = 5711 distinct).
  • Book 4, Bamidbar (Numeri). Sample: wäy°däb¤ër y°hwâh ¡êlmös¹êh b¤°mïd°b¤är sïynäy b¤°¡öhêl mwö¿ëd b¤°¡êçâd [...] b¤°¿är°bö± mwö¡âb ¿äl yär°d¤ën y°rëçwö. File hebr/tav/num.1/gud.wfr (13573 words, N = 5306 distinct).
  • Book 3, Vaykra (Leviticus). Sample: wäy¤ïq°râ ¡êlmös¹êh wäy°däb¤ër y°hwâh ¡ëlâyw më¡öhêl mwö¿ëd lë¡mör [...] ¡ê±mös¹êh¡êlb¤°nëy yïs²°râ¡ël b¤°här sïynây. File hebr/tav/lev.1/gud.wfr (9650 words, N = 3860 distinct).
  • Book 5, Devarim (Deuteronomium). Sample: ¡ël¤êh häd¤°bârïym ¡°äs¹êr d¤ïb¤êr mös¹êh ¡êlk¤âlyïs²°râ¡ël b¤°¿ëbêr [...] häm¤wörâ¡ häg¤âdwöl ¡°äs¹êr ¿âs²âh mös¹êh l°¿ëynëy k¤âlyïs²°râ¡ël. File hebr/tav/deu.1/gud.wfr (12007 words, N = 5455 distinct).
