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)
    לַאֲרוֹד זַרְעִית אֲרוֹדִי לְאַרְאֵלִי זַרְעִית אַרְאֵלִי

    (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)
    לַאֲרוֹד גְנִיסַת אֲרוֹד לְאַרְאֵלִי גְנִיסַת אַרְאֵלִי

    Of Arod, the family of Arod; of Areli, the family of Areli.

Commentary

Notes on Numbers 26:17 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.

Discussion questions

  1. How does “Arod” (ʼĂrôwd) shape what this verse is saying?
  2. This verse holds 1 word here found nowhere else in the Hebrew Bible. What might the rare word draw attention to?
  3. The word “Arod” first appears here in Scripture. What is being introduced at this debut?
  4. Genesis 46:16 shares the word «Arodi» with this verse. How do the two illuminate each other?
  5. “family” occurs 2× in this one verse. What is the effect of the repetition?
  6. Compared with the Hebrew, the Septuagint runs longer here. What questions does that raise?
  7. The translations on this page render this verse differently — a whole-verse word diff, not a word-by-word alignment. What might account for the different wordings?
  8. Reading how Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary and Matthew Poole's English Annotations read this verse, where do the two commentators agree and where do they part?
