Cantillation/accent marks and vowels can radically change the meaning of a Hebrew text. Take for example the word וראו in Exodus 24:10 it can be read as וַיִּֽרְא֣וּ (and they feared ) or as וַיִּרְא֕וּ (and they saw). Notice, both these words are letter for letter identical and in this case, they even have the same vowels the only difference is the accent mark under the Aleph (א) which in the word feared would probably take either a Munach or a Tiphcha accent. However, as mentioned before both accents and vowels are absent in Torah scrolls, however, all the Masoretic diacriticals are present in Masoretic codices containing books of the Hebrew Bible and in printed editions of the Hebrew Bible/Tanakh.
