Samaritan Hebrew is a reading tradition used liturgically by the Samaritans for reading the Ancient Hebrew language of the Samaritan Pentateuch.
The Samaritans, use the ancient Hebrew script, which was used, as we believe, by Moses to write the Torah. The script was developed and preserved throughout the centuries and was used by both, Samaritans and Jews till the beginning of the 1st C.E... All of our holy scriptures, as the torah, prayer books, inscriptions, liturgical compositions, and marriage documents written in this holy and ancient script.
The Samaritans are the ancient northern kingdom of Israel, descendants of the tribes Joseph, Menashe, and Levi, who have remained in Samaria and survived the Assyrian exile in the years.
