The Biblia Hebraica Quinta Editione, abbreviated as BHQ or rarely BH5, is the fifth edition of the Biblia Hebraica. When completed, it will supersede the fourth edition, the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia (BHS/ BH4).
The edition has been described as "international and ecumenical" as it features editors from a diverse range of institutions, countries, and denominations (with involvement from Catholics, Protestants and Jews).[1] The work is currently being published in fascicles according to this release schedule:[2]

Completion Date
Due to meticulous nature of the work, the timeline for the edition's completion has constantly been delayed. Before the release of the first fascicle in 2002, one of the original editors, Richard D. Weis, expressed optimistically that the project would be completed by 2010.[5]
