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)
    וְלִדְסוֹבְתָה בְּרִחוּקָהּ וְלִדְדָאִיב יָת דוֹבֵהּ לִדְכַר וּלְנֻקְבָא וְלִגְבַר דִי יִשְׁכּוּב עִם מְסָאָבָא

    (no public-domain English translation for this verse)

    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. London: Longmans, Green, 1862” (public domain). Text via Sefaria.

  2. Targum Pseudo-Jonathan Torah (Genesis–Deuteronomy)
    וְלִדְסִיאוֹבְתָּא בְּעִידוּנֵי רִיחוּקָהּ וּלְדִדַיֵיב יַת דִיבֵיהּ לִדְכַר אוֹ לְנוּקְבָא וְלִגְבַר דִי יְשַׁמֵשׁ עִם מְסָאָבְתָּא כָּל אִלֵין יֶהֱוָון זְהִירִין בְּסוֹאֲבַתְהוֹן וְכַד יִדְכּוּן יַיְתוּן יַת קוּרְבָּנֵיהוֹן מְטוֹל לִמְכַפְּרָא עֲלֵיהוֹן

    and for her who is unclean in the time of her separation, and for any one who hath an issue, whether male or female, and for a man who lieth with the unclean. All these shall be advised of their uncleanness, and, when purified, shall bring the oblations that make atonement for them.

Commentary

Notes on Leviticus 15:33 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.

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

Discussion questions

  1. The word dâveh carries the sense “faint.” How does it shape the verse?
  2. The word “faint” first appears here in Scripture. What is being introduced at this debut?
  3. Leviticus 20:18 shares the word «faint» with this verse. How do the two illuminate each other?
  4. Compared with the Hebrew, the Septuagint runs longer here. What questions does that raise?
  5. These translations render this verse differently; the difference is in the English rendering, not the original. What questions does that raise?
  6. The verb «וְהַזָּב֙» is Qal Participle Active. How does its form color the action?
