  1. Targum and translation
    a new approach to a classic problem

    The targums to the Pentateuch have often been called a kind of translation literature. In part, this is due to the lexicography of the term targum, according to which this literature is known. Although this association between targumic literature and the term translation has been long-standing, “translation,” as it has been used in the field of targum studies, is greatly undertheorized. Within recent years, scholars have used the word translation to describe the interlinguistic rendering of specific Hebrew Bible words and phrases. Some discussion has been given to the complexities of this dynamic in the targums, but the meaning of the term translation has yet to be addressed explicitly. In this article, I propose that to use translation as a meaningful descriptive category for targumic literature, it is necessary to unpack it and examine its ambiguities and problematic status even within the context of discussions about translation studies. By exploring the contours of this term, I hope to indicate how a more nuanced understanding of “translation” can help describe the targumic genre, as well as the targums' underlying hermeneutic orientation toward the Hebrew Bible.

    This article explores the usage of plural νόμοι versus singular νόμος throughout the whole corpus of the Greek Bible. Obviously, the singular is predominant. If we put aside later variants and textual traditions, the rare passages where the plural νόμοι is used (in Proverbs, Jeremiah, Esther, and 2 Maccabees) mutually elucidate each other: the plural occurs where the translators wanted to stress that the law(s) in question should be distinguished from the Torah. With respect to Jer 31:31–34 (LXX 38:31–34) and the quotations from it in Hebrews, the article demonstrates that the plural νόμοι in the LXX cannot be explained by the Vorlage, as many modern researchers suggest, but was a conscious device used by the LXX translator. The aim of the translator, followed by the author of Hebrews, was to stress the distinction between the Law of Moses and the Laws of the New Covenant.

    Auf den Spuren der Entwicklung der rabbinischen Erziehung von den ersten Jahrhunderten unserer Zeitrechnung in Palästina bis zur Blütezeit der Lernzentren Jahrhunderte später in Babylonien untersuchen die Autoren dieses Bandes verschiedene Aspekte des Bildungsethos, die Spannung zwischen mündlicher Überlieferung und literarischer Praxis und die Rolle des rabbinischen Weisen als pädagogischem Innovator und Vorbild.InhaltsübersichtMarc Hirshman/David Satran: Introduction – Marc Hirshman: A Resurgent Religion: Midrashic Teaching in the First Centuries – Yael Wilfand: Was There Really 'an Arrogance of Wealth'?

Boyarin's Parting of the (Gender) Ways Reconsidered – Richie (Shmuel) Lewis: The Myth of the Torah Taking account of a wide range of literary evidence and the most recent scholarship on the nature of education in Rabbinic Judaism of late antiquity, these studies examine new and varied aspects of the scriptural and intellectual infrastructure of the educational ethos, the tension between oral tradition and literary practice, and the central role of the rabbinic sage as pedagogical innovator and model. They also study the underlying influence of social and economic factors, the evolution of teaching techniques and frameworks, and the formative role of both midrashic mentality and mythopoetic currents. With an eye on the broader contexts of Greco-Roman culture and emergent Christianity, these essays follow the development of rabbinic ideas and institutions from the first centuries of the Common Era in Palestine through the flowering of centers of learning centuries later in Babylonia.Survey of contentsMarc Hirshman/David Satran: Introduction – Marc Hirshman: A Resurgent Religion: Midrashic Teaching in the First Centuries – Yael Wilfand: Was There Really 'an Arrogance of Wealth'?

    The Damascus Document’s Pesher of the Well (CD 6:2–11) has generally been treated as an isolated unit, either as an example of Qumran exegesis or as evidence for the history of the sect. The present study offers a fresh reading of this section that gives special attention to its rhetorical function within the document and its relationship to the document’s legal material in particular. It is argued that the pesher was intended to authorize the body of legal rulings found within the document by interpreting the two lines of Numbers 21:18 as an outline of two stages of the sect’s history. The pesher is built around two anchor-words in the lemma: ‮שרים‬‎ (“officials”), a reference to the sect’s founders who established an authoritative body of torah rulings, and ‮נדיבי העם‬‎, a reference to the sect’s later “volunteer initiates” who were to remain faithful to these rules throughout the Epoch of Wickedness.

    Modern commentators inculpate the woman in Gen 3:3, accusing her of altering the divine command and insinuating God's parsimony and severity. Significant voices from ancient Judaism and early Christianity, however, notice nothing wrong with her words. Rather—to anticipate a reading akin to m. Abot 1.1—her words construct a fence around the divine command. The Targum and the LXX provide the soil for this reading; Philo and Josephus provide the light for its growth. Jubilees, Abot de-Rabbi Natan, and Ephrem the Syrian provide categories to prune modern assumptions; the Sinai narrative (specifically, Exod 19:12-13a, 23) provides the exegetical ground to spark fresh growth. The proposed reading promotes a positive account of the woman and frees her from undeserved blame, thereby showcasing her proscription as an attempt to honor God rather than smear God's integrity.

    Abstract In late medieval-early modern Iberia, translations of sacred texts often involved changes beyond those concerning linguistic and cultural frameworks. The sacred nature of the source text turned it into a potentially powerful tool for a variety of purposes. Translations were used to advance didactic and cultural policies and to disseminate political and religious propaganda. They became building blocks for communal identities under fatal threat. When need be, they could be manipulated both as weapons of self-defense or of belligerent attack against rival religiosities and institutions that harbored them. The power generated by the divine authority that spoke through sacred texts also made their translations and their translators, targets of suspicion and victims of strict control, and at times, destruction. The five articles that I introduce represent a wide spectrum of these possibilities as they examine translation projects of Christian, Jewish, and Muslim sacred texts and the transformations they catalyzed.

    In Anknüpfung an die Theorie des "Othering" wird der Versuch unternommen, die Logik des Antisemitismus mit einem Verständnis der Andersheit des "Semitischen" zu kontrastieren. Dabei werden zunächst die Unterschiede zwischen einer Begründungslogik und einer Funktionslogik erläutert. Anhand zweier Beispiele (Nirenberg, Salzborn) wird gezeigt, wie unterschiedlich Deutungen des Antisemitismus in Geschichte kontextualisiert werden können. Darauf aufbauend wird die Unterscheidung von passivem und aktivem Othering entwickelt. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird dann nach den Bedingungen der Möglichkeit von Konturen des "Semitischen" gefragt. Following the theory of "othering", this contribution aims to contrast the logic of anti-Semitism with an understanding of the otherness of the "Semitic". First, I explain the differences between a logic of justification and a logic of function. I employ two examples (Nirenberg, Salzborn) to show how different interpretations of anti-Semitism can be historically contextualized. Building on this, the distinction between passive and active othering is developed. Finally, after taking this into consideration, I inquire into the conditions of the possibility of the emergence of contours of the "Semitic".

    Abstract The Samaritan Aramaic Targum presents an extremely literal translation of SP , but the measure of literalness varies between different manuscripts. Further textual differences between these manuscripts can be related to different Hebrew Vorlagen, or to different interpretations of one and the same Hebrew Vorlage. It can thus be concluded that the Samaritan Targum tradition does not represent a single Aramaic translation of SP , but rather consists of several translations, based on different Hebrew Vorlagen. SAT and also the Samaritan Arabic translation are therefore important witnesses for the textual history of SP , relating to the written transmission of SP in the period before the 12th century CE , for which no Hebrew manuscripts are extant, and also to the Samaritan vocalization. This evidence demonstrates that the textual variety found in the Hebrew manuscripts of SP was already present in the transmission of SP between the 1st and the 11th century CE .
