At least three different systems were developed, but the one that proved most influential was that of the Masoretes in Tiberias, by the Sea of Galilee, the home of the Ben Asher family.
Arendati välja vähemalt kolm eri süsteemi, kuid kõige mõjukamaks sai neist see, mille koostasid need masoreedid, kes elasid Galilea mere ääres asuvas Tiberiases, Ben Asheri suguvõsa kodulinnas.
