Targums WordMap

The Targums WordMap database links every equivalent word in the Hebrew Torah (currently Genesis through Leviticus only; Numbers and Deuteronomy to be added with free update) and all its Targums. It is the product of the Equivalent Project – a research initiative headed by Dr. Leeor Gottlieb of Bar-Ilan University – which strives to identify and link the contents of ancient biblical translations back to their equivalents in the Hebrew Bible, thus creating a comprehensive synopsis and thesaurus of equivalents of the ancient translations of the Bible.

The powerful cross-textual search capabilities in Targums WordMap enable you to search words in one text based on their equivalents in another! For example, would you like to search for all the Nifal verbs in the Torah translated by Ithpeel verbs in Pseudo-Jonathan? Not a problem! Do you want to find every case where Targum Neofiti translates a Hebrew singular noun with an Aramaic plural noun? These and other previously inexecutable searches are possible now with the Targums WordMap. Just formulate your search in the Text command dialog box and the Targums Wordmap will provide the results for queries heretofore impossible to perform. Top it off by using the new Intertext definitions in the Analysis Tab to display a full breakdown of your results.

Note that WordMap also supports Instant Details, cross highlighting, and triple-clicking to amplifyClosed.

The Targums WordMap requires Accordance 13.1 or later, and grammatically-tagged Hebrew Text and Aramaic Targums.
