This paper discusses the background of this decision, as well as its implications and the problems connected with it. It also outlines possibilities for its implementation. Samples taken from Genesis and Samuel illustrate the importance of an evaluation of variants and of including a very concise critical apparatus in translation. The policy advocated in this paper has now been adopted by the General Editors of the translation.
