This is the text that most Bibles, including the King James Version 1611 and all others contain.
To provide an explanation of where we got our Older Testament Scriptures (Genesis through Malachi), we have this reference.
"[The Masoretes were scribes] and were active from around A.D. 750 until A.D. 920. In addition to copying the text and noting the number of words in verses, and so on, they developed a system of vowel pointing to clarify the all-consonant text (Hebrew was all consonants with no vowels in the original). Hebrew was changing (as all languages do), and the correct pronounciation was being forgotten [or the pronounciation that was present in the 8th Century A.D.] -- especially in certain regions where peculiar dialects had emerged or where Hebrew was becoming a dead language. They added some other notations to aid the reader as well. As a result of their work, the "Masoretic Text" emerged. For many years that was the best hebrew available, and all [further] Hebrew translations were based on it.
"Unfortunately, the oldest Manuscripts of the Masoretic Text date back only to around the year 900 [A.D.]. Most are from 1100 A.D. or later, and no complete Text is earlier than that [1100 A.D.]."
Jonathan Underwood, A History of the English Bible, Standard Publishing, 1983, pps. 61,62.
In addition, the Masoretic Text is not just "one text" but a "family" of texts that do not all agree.
"Almost all modern English translations of the Old Testament are based upon a single manuscript, the Leningrad Codex, which was copied in 1008 (A.D.) and is our earliest complete copy of the Masoretic (or Rabbinic) Text of the Hebrew Bible. The Leningrad Codex is used by most Biblical scholars in its published edition, 'Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia'.
"Another important manuscript is the Aleppo Codex, which forms the basis for a new Hebrew Bible currently being produced at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. The manuscript was copied about 925 (A.D.) and is thus earlier than the Leningrad Codex; however, a substantial part has been lost, which means that for some books the Hebrew University project must rely on the Leningrad Codex and other Hebrew manuscripts.
"Both the Leningrad Codex and the Aleppo Codex are part of what is known as the 'Masoretic Text' (MT). This term is quite complicated, since it covers many manuscripts rather than a single one; 'Masoretic "Group"' or 'Masoretic "Family"' would be a more accurate name. Masoretic manuscripts - including the Leningrad Codex and the Aleppo Codex - contain the books of the Hebrew Bible in the threefold arrangement that was developed by the Rabbis and is found in modern Jewish Bibles" the Torah, the Prophets and the Writings (though the specific order of books sometimes varies between manuscripts)."
