Benjamin Kennicott (4 April 1718 - 18 September 1783) was a churchman and Hebrew scholar. He was born at Totnes and succeeded his father as master of the charity school. The generosity of friends enabled him to attend Wadham College in 1744, where he distinguished himself in Hebrew and divinity. Kennicott's major work is the Vetus Testamentum hebraicum cum variis lectionibus (1776-1780). Before this appeared he had written two dissertations entitled The State of the Printed Hebrew Text of the Old Testament considered, published in 1753 and 1759. These were designed to combat contemporary ideas about the "absolute integrity" of the received Hebrew text.
