    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

    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?

    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.

    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.

    Tehom can be abyss. Tohu ubohu “and the land in it (shortened ve Bo hu) abysmal and darkness over the depth and gds wind above the water” meaning it was not yet touched by gd but he was ruling over the flooded abyss of darkness as it’s all in his “kingdom”, his “creation”.

      That's a fair assessment. The Targumim regularly feature interpretive or explanatory elements. Targum Onkelos though tends to be more straightforward.
