    Abstract

    The following article is the result of an investigation into the use of
    spaces in the Masoretic manuscripts of the book of Samuel, led by the
    question: Is there a system in the use of spaces that can explain the
    above-mentioned phenomena? And if so, is there reason to assume that
    spaces could also indicate silence or missing text? The search for answers
    has been based on the appearance of these textual markers in Codex
    Leningradensis (L), Codex Aleppo (A), and Codex Cairensis (C), which
    are analysed by Langlamet (1984). To arrive at a certain measure of dating
    mss 4QSama, 4QSamb and 1QSama are used, which are excellently
    described by Herbert.
