Perhaps the greatest advantage of BHQ over BHS is the inclusion of a extensive textual commentary at the back of each fascicle.

For a book as foundational as Genesis, this commentary is pure gold for exegesis. Key Textual Witnesses in BHQ Genesis
The Biblia Hebraica Quinta is the fifth diplomatic edition of the Hebrew Bible sponsored by the Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft (German Bible Society). Like the BHS, the BHQ uses the prestigious Leningrad Codex (MS B19a) as its base text, which dates back to 1008 CE. However, BHQ introduces massive upgrades in textual analysis, layout, and cross-referencing.
