This note analyzes how Jewish medieval authors used the verb le-ha‘tiq (“to translate”, “to copy”) to illustrate the transmission of souls into successive bodies. In the theory of the transmigration of the soul, the use of ‘ataq follows this logic of a movement from A to B and then to C and so on. This would then become a repetition ad infinitum until the soul is perfected (or condemned to destruction).
