As best I can tell, the text found here in tanach.tar.Z is derived from _Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia_ (BHS) which in turn is based on the Leningrad manuscript (Codex Petropolitanus Babylonicus), which dates from the year 916. This manuscript has the distinction of being the oldest dated manuscript containing the entire Bible, but contains many differences from the accepted, masoretic text.
