PREFACE.

The uninspired literature of the Hebrews embraces


almost every department of human knowledge; for,
from the destruction of Jerusalem until the present
day, there has never ceased in Israel a numerous class
of individuals, who spend their lives in literary la-
bours. This is true of the Jewish nation in every
country whither it has been scattered. In Palestine,
Babylon, Arabia, Egypt, Spain, Germany, France
and Poland, they can reckon up a long list of names
of enviable celebrity. During what are called the
dark ages, when the nations of Europe were immer-
sed in the grossest ignorance, when kings and nobles
and bishops were unable to write their own names,
Saadias Gaon, Izchaki, Balam, Maimonides, Aben
Tibbon, Kimchi, Aben Ezra, arid numerous other dis-
tinguished men flourished among the Jews. While
many of these were engaged in the elucidation of
the Scripture and its laws, others studied philosophy,
philology, physic, astronomy, mathematics, history,
grammar, and poetry. Neither did they neglect the
works of Gentile antiquity; they translated into He-
brew and Arabic the works of Aristotle, Galen, &c.,
as in latter times they have also translated such
authors as Ovid, Milton, Thomson, Tasso, Fenelon,

and others. It is scarcely an exaggeration to say,


" that no nation in the universe can, during a
a line of
period of full five hundred years, produce
men so truly eminent, so universally learned, as can
the Jews of Spain from the year 980 until their
expulsion from that kingdom in the year 1492."
The language in which most Jewish works are
written, though generally included under the common
appellation of HEBREW, presents certain diversities
of dialect and style, which may be denominated the
Targumical, the Rabbinical, and the Biblical.
I. The TARGUMICAL, or Chaldee. In this dialect
are written:
First, the Translations or Paraphrases
of the Sacred Scriptures into the Chaldee language,
which are usually called Targums ; Secondly, the
Gemara, or Annotations on the Mishna, the
two together forming the Talmud ; and Thirdly,
the Zohar, and the greater part of the works written
on the Cabbala.It is now generally believed, that,
when the Jews were carried captive to Babylon
by command of Nebuchadnezzar, they lost, during
the seventy years' captivity, the pure use of the
Hebrew tongue, and acquired the Chaldean dia-
lect of their conquerors. This is at least probable,
and appears to be supported by Neh. viii. 8, "So
they read in the book in the law of God distinctly,
and gave the sense, and caused them to understand
the reading." From this passage it is inferred, that
when the law was read to the people in the original
Hebrew, it was translated into the vernacular tongue
(Chaldee) by an interpreter appointed for that pur-
pose, that the people might understand it thorough-
ly. As this translation was at first extempore, it
afforded ample scope for diversity of interpretation,
and doubtless a gradual desire was excited for a
translationwhich might be committed to writing,
and thus rendered accessible to all, and more stable
in its interpretation of the Sacred Text. According
to Jewish tradition, Onkelos, a proselyte to Judaism,
was the first to accomplish this object, about the
beginning of the Christian era. He translated the
whole of the Five Books of Moses into Chaldee. His
translation is very close, almost word for word with
the original Hebrew. In a very few instances,
he paraphrases the text, for the purpose of explain-
ing obscure, indelicate, and anthropomorphic phrases
when applied to God. If we were certain that his
translation has come down to us uncorrupted, it would
prove an unexceptionable witness to the genuineness
of the present Hebrew text. However this may be,
no real biblical scholar will willingly allow himself to
remain unacquainted with so ancient a document as
the Chaldee Targum of Onkelos on the Pentateuch.
The popularity of Onkelos would appear to have
stirred up the zeal and learning of Jonathan Ben
Uzziel, about forty years after the beginning of the
Christian era, to translate the historical and pro-
phetical books of the Old Testament into Chaldee.
He is said to have been a disciple of the well known
Hillel, whose opinions have tended so much to per-
petuate the oral law of Rabbinism. Jonathan Ben
Uzziel, having a much more difficult task to accom-
plish than Onkelos, has accordingly failed to attain
to the critical and grammatical accuracy of the latter.
His language is less pure, it contains numerous Greek
and Latin words, and he does not hesitate to para-
phrase the original text when he thinks proper. It
is
accordingly less esteemed by critical students of
the Old Testament, though various Rabbis and
traditions have declared it to be divinely inspired.
VI

There is also a Tavgum on the Pentateuch, which


has been ascribed to Jonathan Ben Uzziel, but its
style and tone are so different from the writings of the
true Jonathan, that the supposition is now discarded.
" the
It is
generally called Targum of the Pseudo-
Jonathan on the Pentateuch." It is paraphrastic in
the extreme, and is principally valuable for the great
amount of Jewish tradition which it contains. It is
probably of the seventh century.
There is a third Targum on the Pentateuch, com-
" Jerusalem
monly called the Targum." Its origin
and authorship is totally unknown. It is not com-
plete, wanting whole verses and chapters at a time,
The general opinion now is, that it is a collection of
"
fragments of the Targum of the Pseudo-Jonathan
just mentioned, with glosses interspersed. It is also of
the same
legendary character.
The Targums on the remaining books of the
Old Testament, viz., Ruth, Esther, Ecclesiastes,
Song- of Solomon, and Lamentations, together with
the Books of Chronicles, are generally ascribed to
Rabbi Joseph the blind, Rector of an Academy at
Babylon in the year 600. They can scarcely be
called translations, as they are intermixed with ex-
tensive commentaries on the sacred text, chiefly of
an allegorical kind. To those who desire to culti*
vate an acquaintance with the Jewish traditions of
that period, we can hardly recommend anything
better suited for that purpose than these Targums.
There are no Targums extant on the Books of
Daniel, Ezra, and Nehemiah, though a few scattered
allusions to such Targums are to be found in the
Talmud, and in the writings of various Rabbis.
Some are of opinion that the reason why these books
were not translated into Chaldee, was, that us great
vu

portions of Daniel and Ezra were originally written


in that language, the Jews were afraid, lest, if Tar-

gums were made on these Books, they might in course


of time be confounded with the sacred originals ; and
as Nehemiah was always reckoned a part of the
Book of Ezra, it also was left untouched.
In connection with this subject it may be interesting
to state, that when Kennicott was preparing the vari-
ous readings of his Hebrew Bible, he found a MS.
in Rome, containing a Translation into HEBREW of
all the CHALDEE Portions of Daniel and Ezra, This

Kennicott printed in his Hebrew Bible, from which


it was copied
by the present writer, and published
separately in a small portable form, along with the
original Chaldee text, and the corresponding Syriac
and Greek Versions.
One feature of the Targums peculiarly interesting
is the numerous references in them to the promised
1"
Messiah. In a little work entitled D'DUinn rip
5

JT8?Dn hy "Christologyof the Targums," we have


collected together all these references along with the
Hebrew text of the several passages commented on,
towhich we have added an English translation, which
may be serviceable to those who have not access to
the Targums themselves.
Having thus stated what is generally known .re-
garding the Targums, we may notice a few things
connected with the " Gemara," which is so called
from a Chaldee word signifying completion, because
it
completes the oral law by its subtile disquisitions
on disputed portions of the Mishna. To those who
may wish to be acquainted with the origin, nature,
character, and contents of the Mishna, we may be
allowed to refer to our own Edition of the
" Pirke
vni

Aboth," or Ethics of the Fathers, in Hebrew and


English, at the end of which will be found appended
the most copious account of the contents of the
Mishna, perhaps to be found in the English langu-
age. Suffice it to say at present, that about A. D.
190, Jehudah the holy, the head of the Jewish
Academy at Tiberias, collected together the prin-

cipal traditional explanations of the Mosaic law that


he could find among his colleagues and others. This
compilation he called the Mishna, or "repetition"
of the Mosaic law, and it was gradually adopted as
a standard authority on such matters. About the
year 270 Rabbi Johanan of Jerusalem compiled
from various sources a commentary on it, which he
called the Gemara (or completion), which, when

joined together, completed the work now known as


the " Jerusalem Talmud." Rabbi Ashe, and Rabbi
Abina of Babylon, about the year 420 commenced
another and much more extensive Commentary (or
" Mishna " of Rabbi
Gemara) on the Jehudah, and
the two when combined together form the " Babylon-
ian Talmud," the best edition of which is in thirteen
foliovolumes, printed at Amsterdam 1750-7. The
Gemara of both Talmuds are written in ^
corrupt
Chaldee dialect, and are almost unintelligible to- any
one who has not received a Jewish training. While
several Jewish Rabbis are enthusiastic in praising it,
declaring that "the Scripture is like water, the
Mishna like wine, and the Gemara like spiced
wine," Gentile readers are by no means of this
opinion.
The ZOHAR is a Cabbalistic Commentary on por-
tions of the Scriptures, and is said to have been writ-
ten by Rabbi Simeon Ben Johanan, or some of his
disciples, about the year 120. It, as well as its
IX

numberless commentaries, are full of the most sin-


gular reveries that can well he imagined.
II. RABBINICAL. In this dialect are written the
text of the Mishna, the Scripture Commentaries, the
Prayer Books, and generally all historical, gramma-
tical,and poetical works. Having sufficiently spoken
of the Mishna under the preceding head, we pass at
once to the D^IIS Perushim or Scripture Comment-
aries. The principal writers of these are Rabbi Solo-
mon Izchaki, commonly called RASHI ; Rabbi David
Kimchi, sometimes called RABAK, Rabbi Aben Ezra,
Rabbi Solomon Ben Melech, Abarbanel, Alsheich,
Saadias Gaon, &c. There is considerable diversity
in the style of these writers. Thus RASHI, having
been for a long period engaged in writing annota-
tions on the Talmud, insensibly imbibed its obscure,
concise, corrupt style, and introduces words which
properly belong to what we have denominated the
Targumical dialect ; whereas Kimchi, a professed
grammarian and lexicographer, wrote in a compara-
tively pure, grammatical, biblical manner. Aben
Ezra is more philosophical in his language and
modes of thought that any of the others, while Abar-
banel is fluent and energetic. The term COMMENTARY
is
scarcely correct when applied to the majority
of the Jewish 0^1*13 Pemshim. The writers are
rather scholiasts than commentators; their attention
is more taken
up with the grammatical meaning of
the Text, than with its theological or dogmatic
bearings. We cannot, however, but concur in the
opinion of Gesenius, whose leanings, moreover, were
"
by no means Jewish, when he says in his Geschich-
der Hebraischen Sprache," " The
te page 102.
judicious commentator will know how to use much in
them that is indisputably true and good; a facility in
understanding these sources is indispensably neces-
sary to every respectable interpreter."
To which we
"
may add the testimony of Dr M'Caul, that a com-
parison with the rabbis would show that
our trans-
lators were deeply read in, and diligent in consulting
the best Jewish authorities, and would go far towards
proving that we have great reason to be satisfied with,
and thankful for, our English translation."
The most complete Collection of these Commen-
taries is to be found in the Great Rabbinical Bibles,
published by Bomberg, at Venice, 1518, 1526, 1549,
1568, 1617; by Buxtorf, at Basil, 1618-19; by
Frankfurter, at Amsterdam, 1724-7, the last men-
tioned being by far the most extensive and complete.
It is in four thick volumes folio.
The only English Version of any of these Pe-
rushim is Dr M'Caul's translation of "Kimchi
on the Prophecies of Zechariah." He speaks in
his preface of having nearly finished a version of
" Saadias Gaon on "
but it has not yet ap-
Daniel,
peared. We may mention, that some time ago we
commenced and finished a translation of Saadias Gaon
on " the Chaldee Portions of Daniel," and of Aben
Ezra on the " Chaldee Portions of the Book of Ezra,"
as a companion to the edition of " the Original Chal-
dee Text of Daniel and Ezra, with the corresponding
[Rabbinical] Hebrew, Syriac and Greek Versions,"
mentioned above, but whether it will ever see the
light it is impossible to say.
We cannot, at present, enter farther into the cha-
racter of the numberless works which are commonly
in use among the Jews.
They embrace, as we have
already said, every branch of literature, but the
disagreeable round Rabbinical character in which
they are printed, together with the inferior paper usu-
XI

ally employed, greatly hinder the general


use of them
by Gentiles.
The characteristics of this Dialect will be clearly
seen on examining the brief Analysis at the end of
the Vocabulary.
III. BIBLICAL. There are few authors that can
be comprized under this head. Perhaps Kimchi,
Weizel, and Luzzatto, may form a majority of them.

The following Vocabulary is designed for the se-


cond of the above mentioned classes. It is to be
regretted that any one acquainted with the Hebrew
text of the Old Testament should be hindered from
studying the Mishna and the Perushim, when the lan-
guage is so easily acquired after a previous know-

ledge of Biblical Hebrew. One great cause is,


that the ordinary Hebrew Lexicons do not contain
the additional words used by the Rabbis, and the
general impression is, that these words are very nu-
merous. It is not so. We believe the present Voca-
bulary contains by far the majority of the words
most in use in these writings, and we think that no
intelligent reader will be at a great loss to master
any of them with its assistance. To those who de-
sire a more extensive work, we may recommend
Buxtorf s Rabbinical, Talmudical, and Chaldee Lexi-
con, in Latin ; Nork's Heb.-Chald.-Rab. Worter-
buch, in German, Dessauer's Aram,-Chald.-Rab.
"Worterbuch, also in German, Hartmanc's Supple-
ment to Buxtorf 's and Gesenius' Lexicon, and his
Thesaurus, both in Latin.
The principal grammatical works on the Rab-
binical dialect are those of Alting, Danz, Genebrard,
Keller, Reland, Cellarius and Tychsen, all in Latin;
and those of Faber, Geigner, Landau, Gratz, Dukes,
Xll

Luzzatto, and Lowison, all in German; the only one


in English we ever saw is Nolan's Hebrew Grammar,
at the end of which is appended the short analysis
which we have transcribed, corrected, and arranged
in more distinct order, comparing it with several
of those above mentioned, especially Cellarius.
Another great difficulty in the reading of Rabbini-
cal works which ought not to be overlooked, is the
numberless contractions made use of. Phrases which
frequently occur are not written in full, but only the
first letter of each word. Thus writing of God, they
often say, K1p| (the Holy One, blessed
*]l"ll ^HpH
be He), but, instead of writing it in full, they write

n":ipn.
So also for D^iroi DWM rnin (the
ff
Law, the Prophets, and the Psalms,) they write "| 3H,
and so on. This occasions great inconvenience to
the beginner, and as every one is at liberty to con-
tract any phrase he thinks proper, the student is

often utterly at a loss. With the viewof obviating


this difficulty, we have given a list of the contrac-
tions more commonly in use. The largest collection
of these contractions we have yet met with, is that of
Wolf. It contains(we write from memory,) about
five hundred pages in duodecimo.

ANALYSIS

RiBBIMCAL DIALECT.

By this term we understand that form of the Hebrew

language which the principal Scripture-Com-


in

mentators among the Rabbies wrote, e. g. Kimchi,


Aben Ezra, Abarbanel, Alsheich, and Izchaki (vul-

garly called Jarchi), together with the Mishna, the


Jewish Prayer-books, &c.

This Dialect is substantially Hebrew, but with


some peculiarities, and a large collection of words de-
rived principally from the Chaldee and Greek, and

even from the Latin, French, Arabic, and the like.

Books in this Dialect are generally printed in a

round character, more resembling writing than the

ordinary square Hebrew letters, but the power, value

and pronunciation of the letters are precisely the


same as in Biblical Hebrew.

The in this Dialect, are:
