After viewing the video, I should have focused on the the action of the Spirit "blowing" should help us conceive the idea that rukha refers to "spirit, breath, wind" here and that a Divine Wind is a way of understanding the idea of the Spirit of God.
Thumbs Up on the Breakdown Brother. Your making it significantly easier for this Western Man to actually parse thru a Chumash 😊 I am curious now if know of any commentary from Rashi, Rambam, or Radak (is it true that Radak aka Kim Chi 😊 did not really want to discuss the first verses of Bereshit?) On the Spirit of Mercies or Ruach Ha Qodesh ?
If you look at the Hebrew for Ezekiel 37 (Valley of the Dry Bones), the word that stands out has nothing to do with bones; it is ruah. But translations into English have a hard time with it because they sometimes use wind, sometimes spirit, sometimes breath. For Ezekiel himself, my guess (!) is that he would not see the difference between those English words.
Now, that was an awesome teaching, comparing the different Targums against the Hebrew. Loved it, job well done! Blessings be upon you!! Didn't realize that there was a targum Jerusalem. Yes, Aramaic and Akkadian should be elevated more, especially the Syriac for the NT, since it actually corrects apparent contradictions from the Greek.
Thank you P.Michael, i can't claim i know exact numbers on the lack or increase in interest toward the Aramaic language although i have noticed the high level of prayer choice on youtube, this of course could be a prophetic sign more than anything, i must admit when i heard the sound of the language and it's regional variations it was as if i had spoken and heard it before, "it's in the blood" echo through , i appreciate the time and effort you put into sharing your knowledge, God bless you
Thank you prof. I was checking interpretation of Gen. 2:18 "helper" in Targum. But couldn't find any beside helper =ally. Do you have a plan to make a video for this particular verse?
Professor, would you consider doing a video on the difference, similarities between El, Elohim, Yah, Yhwh, and the various meanings of Lord divine and political?
It's interesting that Targum Onkelos introduces צדיא and ריקנייא for the first time as the translation of תהו ובהו. But later Targums preferred to keep תהו ובהו but at the same time kept the Onkelos' translation as well. So now we have two pairs: תהו ובהו and then צדיא וריקנייא.
I downloaded Aramaic Peshitta PDF, Estrangela with Niqquð... but I didn't find any Peshitta Tanakh on the entire Google... does anyone have Peshitta Tanakh typed in PDF?
Such interesting takes the _Targumin_ have! I'll have to find out what kind of communities they come from. _Elevating Aramaic_ would not be a good band name, but maybe a good name for a TH-cam channel. Or a periodical. ___ 5:32 these shifts are so interesting! I've planned to make my BA & MA on the sibilants of Akkadian, somehow or another - maybe on the new vision of pronouncing them in OB, or more relevantly to this mention, the š/s-shifting b/w the northern and southern dialects. Maybe I'd get to touch on the wacky "š>l at certain positions" kerfuffle as well. That is if I don't get bored to death with phonological notation b/f the end of it.

Thanks for your support. Hopefully Aramaic language awareness and knowledge will continue to grow.
Thanks for the point on Japanese, I have always wondered and immediately thought of it when you were explaining it here
There are a few of us kindred spirits out there! ありがとう
Thank you prof.

Do you use George M. Lamsa's Aramaic of the Peshitta in your studies?
No. I never use it.

Have you connected with Parpola? I'm pretty sure I've read about this in some of his works (but maybe it was in the footnotes, I don't recall).

U are classed with
So the Peshitta tried much harder to be a direct translation, than do the Targumim.
That's a fair assessment. The Targumim regularly feature interpretive or explanatory elements. Targum Onkelos though tends to be more straightforward.
So, Noahs Ark before genesis 1:1?
Noah = Osiris and Sun. Ark = Isis and Moon.
U are classed with murad of sneakerscorner, a native arab, fluent knowledge of Arabic Aramaic ans and hebrew
