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)
    וַעֲבָדוּ יָת כִּתּוּנִין דְבוּצָא עוֹבַד מָחֵי לְאַהֲרֹן וִלִבְנוֹהִי:

Commentary

Notes on Exodus 39:27 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.

Ramban (Nachmanides)

Rabbi Moshe ben Nachman (Ramban / Nachmanides)

AND THEY MADE THE TUNICS OF FINE LINEN OF WOVEN WORK FOR AARON, AND FOR HIS SONS. It appears from here that the tunics were identical for father [Aaron] and sons. For even though in the case of the tunic made for Aaron it says, And thou shalt make the tunic of chequer-work from fine linen, and in speaking of those made for his sons it just says, thou shalt make tunics, Verse 40. [without specifying that they should be of chequer-work], the intention is: “thou shalt make tunics similar to the one mentioned.” And thus it is written, a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a tunic of chequer-work, a mitre, and a belt; and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that they may minister unto Me, Verse 4. for the expression for Aaron… and his sons refers back to the tunic of chequer-work, the mitre and the belt, which were alike for all of them. Similarly, that which Scripture says here, and the mitre of fine linen, and the beautiful head-tires, refers to those of both Aaron and his sons, since the mitznepheth (mitre) and the migba’ath (the head-tire) were made in the same way, except that Aaron wound it [around his head, fold upon fold], and his sons set them upon their heads tightly, as I have explained., Verse 31 (towards the end) and Verse 37.

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 8 words (8 distinct Hebrew lemmas). Its most distinctive word is ʼârag (“to weave”). A historical commentator’s framing appears above. Read the whole chapter for the surrounding context.

Discussion questions

  1. What does “to weave” (ʼârag) contribute to the verse as a whole?
  2. How does Exodus 28:32, which shares the word «to weave», read alongside this verse?
  3. These translations render this verse differently; the difference is in the English rendering, not the original. What questions does that raise?
  4. «וַֽיַּעֲשׂ֛וּ» is a Qal Sequential Imperfect verb. How does that grammatical form shape the action described?
  5. Compare how unfoldingWord translationNotes and Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers read this verse. Where do they agree or differ?
