Targum (Aramaic paraphrase)

2

The Targum is the ancient Jewish Aramaic paraphrase of the Hebrew Scriptures — an interpretive translation, not the Hebrew text itself. Onkelos (literal) and Pseudo-Jonathan (expansive) render the Torah, and Jonathan the Prophets. Coverage is partial: where no permissively-licensed English translation exists for a verse, only the Aramaic is shown. This is verse-level text, not a word-by-word alignment to the Hebrew.

  1. Targum Onkelos Torah (Genesis–Deuteronomy)
    וַעֲבַד עֲנוּבִין דְתִכְלָא עַל סִפְתָא דִירִעֲתָא חֲדָא מִסִטְרָא בֵּית לוֹפֵי כֵּן עֲבַד בְּסִפְתָא דִירִיעֲתָא בְּסִטְרָא בֵּית לוֹפֵי תִּנְיֵתָא:

    Targum Onkelos — Aramaic: “Onkelos Genesis” (public domain); “Onkelos Exodus” (public domain); “Onkelos Leviticus” (public domain); “Onkelos Numbers” (public domain); “Onkelos Deuteronomy” (public domain). English: “Sefaria Community Translation” (CC0 1.0 (public-domain dedication)); “J.W. Etheridge. The Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan Ben Uzziel on the Pentateuch.

  2. Targum Pseudo-Jonathan Torah (Genesis–Deuteronomy)

    And he made loops of hyacinth upon the edge of one curtain, at the place of conjunction in the side; so made he in the side at the place of conjunction in the other curtain.

Commentary

Notes on Exodus 36:11 from classic Christian and Jewish commentators (each source and its license shown beneath its notes). The classic Christian expositions comment on the surrounding passage and are grouped to its opening verse, so a note may address several verses; the Jewish commentaries on the Tanakh (Rashi and others) are per-verse, so they appear only where the commentator wrote on this verse.

Lesson kit

Teaching starters — assembled from the data on this page, not authored interpretation. Every prompt links to the verse data it draws on. Edit before teaching.

Exodus, in the Pentateuch, opens this verse with 16 words (12 distinct Hebrew lemmas). Its most distinctive word is qîytsôwn (“outermost”). The Greek Septuagint runs shorter here. A historical commentator’s framing appears above. Read the whole chapter for the surrounding context.

Discussion questions

  1. The word qîytsôwn carries the sense “outermost.” How does it shape the verse?
  2. How does Exodus 26:4, which shares the word «outermost», read alongside this verse?
  3. What does the repetition of “to do” (2× in this one verse) do in this verse?
  4. The Septuagint runs shorter here than the Hebrew. What might account for the difference?
  5. These translations render this verse differently; the difference is in the English rendering, not the original. What questions does that raise?
  6. «וַיַּ֜עַשׂ» is a Qal Sequential Imperfect verb. How does that grammatical form shape the action described?
  7. Compare how unfoldingWord translationNotes and The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges read this verse. Where do they agree or differ?
