 Among Israel's diverse ethnic groups, variant readings have developed over certain words in the Torah, the Sephardic tradition calls for the word ויהיו ("wyhyw") in the verse ויהיו כל ימי נח () to be written in "defective scriptum" (i.e.ויהי "wyhy"), but the Yemenite Jewish community requiring it to be written in "plene scriptum" (i.e.ויהיו).
