»יש דבר שיאמר ראה זה חדש הוא כבר היה לעלמים אשר היה מלפננו׃
Codex Sinaiticus. Although the screen controls tend towards inaccurate, seeing the codex itself in such clear reproduction is a joy. The lettering is beautiful and clear, and the accompanying modern text rendering useful for navigation. Now if only I could find a reasonable online edition of the Hebrew text .... Aha: looking through Google for the Hebrew phrase turned up a few sites with multi-lingual texts (and some imaginative renderings) of Ecclesiastes.
יֵשׁ דָּבָר שֶׁיֹּאמַר רְאֵה-זֶה, חָדָשׁ הוּא: כְּבָר הָיָה לְעֹלָמִים, אֲשֶׁר הָיָה מִלְּפָנֵנוּ.
