‏שְׁמַ֖ע יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵ֖ינוּ יְהוָ֥ה אֶחָד

A while ago when I was testing my weblog's Unicode support I wanted to find a copy of the Shema (‏שְׁמַ) of Deuteronomy 6:4. It turns out sacred-texts.com has a Hebrew copy online:

‏שְׁמַ֖ע יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵ֖ינוּ יְהוָ֥ה אֶחָד

This is coming up now, of course, because Deuteronomy 6 is where I am in my new favorite translation's "Through the Bible in a year" program Smiley

Only, some combining characters (vowels) don't seem to be exactly right and the RtL text is being funky in my browser's text editor. Also, I don't think I've ever seen anyone spell out Adonai before.

Oh, and incidentally, Matthew Henry's entire commentary is available online.

Update: This Hebrew text has behaved differently on every browser and system I've tried it on. It's disappointing.

If it is RTL you should use the DIR attribute or the Unicode characters. I believe HTML is the preferred way to handle it.

Also, your URI does not seem to be UTF-8 encoded. And it really should be if you are planning to use IRIs someday.
