The Leningrad Codex is the oldest complete Hebrew bible still preserved. While there are older parts of Bibles, or biblical books, still in existence, there is no older manuscript which contains the whole Hebrew Bible (or Old Testament in Hebrew). The Leningrad Codex is the best complete example of the Masoretic text.The Leningrad Codex was scribed in Cairo Egypt in 1008 AD. It was copied from manuscripts prepared by the famous Tiberian scribe Aaron ben Moses ben Asher sometime in the 10th century AD .
Ben Asher was in turn working from even earlier Masoretic texts copied under the strictest scribal standards.
The Leningrad Codex contains the oldest known example of the four verses in the 30th chapter of Genesis where what we call “The Chamberlain Key” is located. The Dead Sea Scrolls do contain a number of pre-Christian Genesis fragments but none from Genesis 30: 20-24

But for many families, it can be extremely difficult to accept and process, especially because their passing is without warning, unexpected, and with no opportunity to say goodbye.
