Qere (from Hebrew what is read, pronounced KEH-ray) is a marginal note in a traditional Hebrew text. In contrast to kethib, qere is an attempt by scribes to restore what was originally intended in the text, typically by copying errors. Naturally these attempts at restoration are matters of scribal opinion, hence their appearance only in the margin. Nevertheless modern translators tend to adher to the qere above the kethib.
