PREFACE.

The literature embraced in this Dictionary covers a period of about one

thousand years, and contains Hebrew and Aramaic elements in about equal proportions. The older Hebrew elements, which may conveniently be called the Mishhaic,
and can in part be traced back to the first, if not to the second, century B. 0. B.,
may be considered a continuation of the Biblical HebrewBiblical Hebrew tinged
with Aramaisms. I t is therefore apt to throw light, more directly than its successor,
on many obscure words and passages in the Bible; nevertheless, the material for Biblical
exegesis deposited in the later literature is an inexhaustible mine, which still awaits
exploitation by sympathetic students. Besides the Mishnah and the Tosefta, the
Mishnaic period embraces Sifra andSifre, Mekhilta, and the older elements preserved
in the Gemara, of which the prayers incidentally quoted are a very essential and
interesting part.
The later Hebrew elements in the Gemara and in the Midrashim lead down to the
fifth and the eighth century respectively, and to a larger degree than the earlier Hebrew
sections are mixed with Aramaic elements, and with foreign words borrowed from
the environment and reflecting foreign influences in language as well as in thought.
The Aramaic portions of the literature under treatment comprise both the eastern
and the western dialects. Owing to the close mental exchange between the
Palestinian and the Babylonian Jews, these dialects are often found inextricably
interwoven, and cannot be distinguished lexicographically.
The subjects of this literature are as unlimited as are the interests of the human
mind. Religion and ethics, exegesis and homiletics, jurisprudence and ceremonial
laws, ritual and liturgy, philosophy and science, medicine and magics, astronomy
and astrology, history and geography, commerce and trade, politics and social
problems, all are represented there, and reflect the mental condition of the Jewish
world in its seclusion from the outer world, as well as in its contact with the
same whether in agreement or in opposition.
1

For these Aramaic elements the traditional (though admittedly incorrect) term Ohaldaic (Ch., ch.)
is retained in the Dictionary, wherever the designation is required for distinction from the corresponding
Hebrew forms.

PBEFACE

Owing to the vast range and the unique character of this literature, both as
to mode of thinking and method of presentation, it was frequently necessary to
stretch the limits of lexicography and illustrate the definitions by means of larger
citations than would be necessary in a more familiar domain of thought. Especially
was this the case with legal and with ethical subjects.
Archaeological matters have often been elucidated by references to Greek and
Roman customs and beliefs.
The condition of the texts, especially of the Talmud Yerushalmi and of some of
the Midrashim, made textual criticism and emendations inevitable, but the dangers
of arbitrariness and personal bias had to be guarded against. Happily there were,
in most cases, parallels to be drawn upon for the establishment of a correct text,
and where these auxiliaries failed, the author preferred erring on the conservative
side to indulging in conjectural emendations. For the Babylonian Talmud Raphael
Rabbinowicz's Variae Lectiones was an invaluable aid to the author.
The etymological method pursued in this Dictionary requires a somewhat fuller
explanation than is ordinarily embodied in a preface.
The Jewish literature here spoken of is specifically indigenous, in which respect
it is unlike the Syriac literature contemporary with it, which is mainly Christian,
and as such was influenced, not only in thought but also in language, by the
Greek and Latin tongues of the religious teachers of a people itself not free from
foreign admixtures. Foreign influences came to Jewish literature merely through
the ordinary channel of international intercourse. I t is for this reason, if for no
other, that the Jewish literature of post-Biblical days down to the ninth century
may be called original. Hence it is natural to expect that, in extending the horizon
of thought, it also extended its vocabulary on its own basis, employing the elements
contained in its own treasury.
Starting from such premises, the investigator had to overhaul the laws regulating
the derivation of words whose etymology or meaning is unknown from known
Semitic roots; every word of strange appearance had to be examined on its merits
both as to its meaning or meanings and as to its origin; the temptation offered by
phonetic resemblances had to be resisted, and the laws of word-formation common
to all other original languages as well as the environment in which a word appears
had to be consulted before a conclusion could be reached. The foremost among
these laws is that a word is imported into one language from another with the
importation of the article it represents or of the idea it conveys. Unless these
conditions of importation are apparent, the presumption should be in favor of the
home market.
Take e. g. the word and its dialectic equivalent , which means
1

The attempt to make 'biliteral roots the basis for radical definitions of stems was found too
cumbersome and too much subject to misunderstanding, and was therefore abandoned with the beginning
of the third letter of the alphabet.

HREl'ACE

(a) a recess, an alley adjoining the market place to which the merchants retire
for the transaction of business, also the trader's stand under the colonnade, and
(b.) an abscess, a carbuncle. The Latin semita, which since Musafia has been adopted
as the origin of simta, offers hardly more than an assonance of consonants: a footpath cannot, except by a great stretch, be forced into the meaning of a market
stand; and what becomes of simta as abscess? But take the word as Semitic, and
, dialectically=tt)12) , offers itself readily, and as for the process of thought by
which 'recess', 'nook', goes over into 'abscess' in medical language, we have a parallel
in the Latin 'abscessus.' How much Latin medical nomenclature may have influenced the same association of ideas among the Jews is a theme of speculation
for students of comparative philology or of the physiology of language.
A superficial glance at the vocabulary of this Dictionary will convince the
reader that the example here given represents an extremely numerous class. The
cases may not always be so plain, and the author is prepared for objections against
his derivations in single instances, but the number of indisputable derivations from
known Semitic roots remains large enough to justify the method pursued.
The problem becomes more complicated when both the meaning and the origin
of words are unknown. Such is the case e. g. with the word in the phrase
(Num. R. s. 4 ) 5& , he turned the isperes and leaped. Levy, guided
by Musafia, resorts to acpopov, ankle; others suspect in it the name of a garment,
aireipo?, a rare form for 07ue1pov. But the phrase itself and the context in which
it appears indicate a native word, and this is found in the stem D"3, of which
5 is an 'Ispeel' noun, that is to say, a noun formed from the enlarged stem
. As or is the cloven foot, the latter being also applied to the human
foot (Sifre Deuteronomy 2), so is the front part of the foot, where the
toes begin to separate. The phrase quoted is to be translated, 'he (David) inverted
the front part of his foot', i. e. stood on tiptoe, 'and leaped' (danced).
We meet with the same stem in the Aramaic, . Referring to Lamentations
I I I , 12, 'he has bent his bow and set me (literally: made me to stand) as a mark
for the arrow', one Amora is recorded in the Midrash (Lamentations Rabbah a. 1.)
as having explained Ttammattara lahets by 5 . Another is quoted as
saying, 'like the pole of the archers (the Roman palus) at which all aim, but which
remains standing.' What is ? and what is ?The medieval Jewish
commentators frankly admit their ignorance. Musafia, however, reads 5, maintaining that he had found it in some editions, and refers to Latin far ma, explaining isjSrisa as sparus, and translating, 'as the shield to the spear.' Ingenious,
indeed! But on closer inspection this explanation is beset with intrinsic difficulties.
To begin with, parma as shield does not appear in the Talmudic literature again,
from which we may infer that it was not generally known to the Jews in their
1

PREFACE

combats with the Romans. Furthermore, the sparus is a small hunting spear never
used in battle to aim against the warrior's shield. As the entire passage in
the Midrash quoted conveys the purpose of the interpreters to explain the Biblical
text by means of a popular illustration, the Amora reported to have used this
expression would have utterly missed his object, had he employed foreign and
unfamiliar words, when he might have used plain words like , or their
Aramaic equivalents. If, furthermore, it is taken into consideration that editio Buber
of Lam, R., in agreement with the Arukh, reads 1 for , thus
distinctly referring to Babylonian authorities, the supposition of foreign origin for
and falls to the ground. But, on the other hand, take
as an 'Ispeel' noun of the stem , and it means 'that which is to be cloven',
i. e. the log, corresponding to the Hebrew . What is , or , again
on the assumption that it is a home word? The root like means to
divide, to split ,
and burma or rather bor'ma is 'the splitter', i . e. the wedge used
to split the log. The Amora quoted in the Midrash therefore means to say that
Israel, although the target of hostile attacks, is what the wedge is to the log: the
wedge is struck, but the log is split. The other Amora quoted expresses the
same idea by a different metaphor: 'as the pole of the arrows', and likewise a
third, who lays stress on ', 'he caused me to stand', in the sense of enduring.
An analogous expression to is ( Pales of ), with which Targum
renders the same Hebrew word ( ) that forms the subject of comment in the
Midrash just referred to ( I Samuel XX, 20).
The following lines are intended to give some specimens of such extension of
roots, both Hebrew and Aramaic, as have not been recognized heretofore, or, if
recognized, have not been applied to their full extent.
Ithpaal or Ithpeel nouns in Aramaean and Aramaicized Hebrew, and Hithpael
nouns in Hebrew are too well known to require more than mere mention. Formations
like !, , are recognized on their face. Except for the preconceived
notions concerning the nature of the Talmudic vocabulary, it would seem no more
than natural that the Mishnaic ! or !( Yoma VII, 1) should be an enlargement of , i . e. an Ithpaal noun of , and ! merely a synonym of
in the same Mishnah, meaning 'covering', i . e. a suit of clothes, whereas
the plainer form ! is used for cloak or sheet. From among the vocables
reclaimed for the Semitic store on the same principle, one more may be mentioned
here: or is a derivative of , and, as such, a phonetic and actual
equivalent of the Biblical 52, and the meaning of the Hebrew word should be
learned from its well-defined Aramaic representative: 'something which restrains the

discussion concerning ist'ma, under the hair net or cap. To uncover the ( Isaiah
X L V I I , 2) therefore means to t h r o w off the matron's head-cover and appear as
a slave. The variant for i n these forms is a common phenomenon i n
Talmudic orthography.
I n connection w i t h this noun formation i t may not be out of place to note
that I t h p a a l or Ithpeel nouns sometimes drop the initial Aleph, i n which case they
may resume the regular order of consonants, which is inverted i n the verb. Thus
( M'nahoth 4 1 ) is formed from , the Ithpaal of , 'to justify one's self
(compare Genesis X L I V , 16), and means justification,
excuse.
Another is formed
from the root , and means split, breaking
through,
damage
(Baba K a m m a 56 ).
( !Gittin 86 ) is an Ithpeel noun of ) = ( , and means a shining white spot,
a suspicious symptom of leprosy; and, indeed, Alfasi reads . The Mandaic
dialect offers analogies to these formations (see Noeldeke, Mand. Gramm. 48, sq.).

The enlargement of stems by the prefix is well k n o w n i n the Aramaic Shafel,

but evidences of this same process are to be met w i t h also i n classical Hebrew.

frequent is the use of the prefix t\ for the formation of verbal nouns, as ,
, & c . Such verbal nouns may again become the basis for the formation of
nominal verbs, as , 'to pray', which only by a stretch of the imagination
can be explained as a plain Hithpael. So also , 'to shout' (Ps. L X V , 14;
L X , 10; O V I I I , 10), is to be taken as a derivative of . The Talmudic Hebrew
offers these formations i n abundance, as from , from ( see
A b r a h a m Geiger, Die Sprache der Mischnah, 7).
On this principle of enlarged stems many words i n this Dictionary have been
regained from foreign origin for Semitic citizenship, e. g. , 'shield', and its
derivatives i n Hebrew and Aramaic, and ( see the Dictionary s. vv.).
The letter is an equivalent of i n the Shafel forms i n the later Hebrew
as i n the Aramaic; hence words like , Piel from ; from ;

A further development of Safel stems consists i n formations which for convenience' sake may be defined as 'Ispeel' nouns, of which the aforementioned

It need scarcely be said that these outlines of Talmudic etymology by no
means exhaust the subject. They have been given a place here for the purpose
of showing the basis upon which the work has been constructed, and as a justification
of the author's deviation from the views hitherto prevailing on the subject under
consideration.
. A few remarks on FOREIGN WORDS in the literature which for the sake of
brevity is here called Talmudic, may not be out of place in this preface.
The intercourse between the Jews of the Talmudic ages with Greek and Latin
speaking gentiles was not only that of trade and government, but also of thought
and ideas. Along with the apostles and teachers of young Christianity, and even
before their time, Jewish champions of religion and morality lectured in the
private rooms of princes and princesses, noblemen and matrons. Instances of
intimate association of prominent Jewish teachers with emperors, kings, philosophers, and scholars and their families are related in the Talmudic records in
numbers large enough to account for the adoption of words like philosophy,
astrology,
epilogue,
&c, not to speak of such terms as were borrowed by the Jews together
with the objects or ideas which they represent. A footstool was called hypopodion,
a tablet pinax; the profligate gourmand's emetic taken before meals, or
rather between one stage of the banquet and the other, was called by its jocular
name GrooxorTa(3tCe1v (to play the cottabus), and adopted in the general medical
sense; and so forth.
This accounts for the large number of Greek and Latin vocables in the socalled Jerusalem Talmud grown up under the Greco-Roman influences of the Csesars,
and more still in those Targumim and Midrashim which were compiled in the
Byzantine empire. The Agadah, taking its illustrations from the daily environment,
speaks of Ccesar, Augustus,
duces, polemarchi,
legiones,
matrona,
schola,
&c, -while
in legal discussions the institutions of the governments, in so far as they influenced
or superseded the Jewish law, had to be called by their foreign names.
Agoranomos
a!nd agronomia,
angaria
and parangaria,
epimeletes,
epitropos,
bule, and innumerable
other terms were embodied in the Jewish vocabulary, although not always dislodging
their Hebrew or Aramaic equivalents.
Owing to copyists' mistakes and acoustic deficiencies of transmission in distant
ages and countries in Avhich these foreign words were but vaguely understood, the
student has on this point to contend with a vast number of corruptions and
glossators' guesses at interpretation. In most eases, however, these corruptions are
recoverable through the medium of correct or differently corrupted, parallels.

( ,, Gittin 20 ), not recognized by the commentators, and probably

no longer understood by the Babylonian Rabbis, who received the word from
Palestine together with the legal subject with which it is connected, fortunately
finds a parallel in a worse copyist's corruption in the Jerusalem Talmud, namely
( Yer. Gittin IV, 45 ), and both in ( Treatise Abadim, ed. Kirchheim, ch* IV). A combination of these corruptions together with an examination
of the subject under discussion leads to vindicta or vindicatio(-nis)
(see Revue des
Etudes Juives, 1883, p. 150). It should be said, however, that this is one of the
worst corruptions the author has met with.
Another class of corruptions owes its existence to the natural tendency to
adapt foreign words to the organic peculiarities of the people. The people pronounced Andrianos
or Andrinos
more easily than Hadrianos;
unkeanos
was more
congenial than okeanos, agard'mos and agromos are popular mutilations of
agoranomos;
and are organic transformations of lectica; although the correct forms
Hadrianos, okeanos, &c. are by no means infrequent (see Collitz, The Aryan Name
of the Tongue, in 'Oriental Studies', Boston, 1894, p. 201, note).
Otherwise the foreign consonants are transliterated as faithfully as can be
expected with national organic peculiarities as different as the Aryan and the
Semitic. Transpositions of rd and dr, frequent even in Hebrew or Aramaic homewords, or sch for x (chs), need hardly surprise any one. Thus and
go side by side with for hydraulis;

for dyschistos, and so forth.

Short vowels, except in cases of heavy accumulations of consonants, are most

frequently ignored. This omission of vowels, congenial as it is to the Semitic spirit,
means a loss of soul to the Aryan words, and offers difficulties not easily overcome,
The laws of transliteration of Greek and Latin loanwords are exhaustively
treated in Samuel Krauss, ,,Griechische und Lateinische Lehnworter in Talmud, &c."
(Berlin, S. Calvary & Co., 1898). It is to be regretted that the proclivity to find
Latin and Greek in words indisputably Semitic has led the author into a labyrinth of
fatal errors.
Persian words are now and then encountered in the Talmud as remnants
of the first period after the Babylonian exile, when the new Jewish commonwealth
was organized under the Persian empire, and more still as modern arrivals of the
time when Babylonia grew to be the centre of Jewish lore.
Arabic elements of direct importation, barring explicit linguistic references,
came along with Arabic objects of trade, but there should be a considable reduction

from the number hitherto accepted in Talmudic lexicography. The Hebrew and
Aramaic of the Talmudic period had little to learn from a people which after the
close of the Talmudic era became the world's teacher.
The difficulties besetting the study of Talmud and Midrash will be overcome
in the degree in which modern scholars will take it up for philological and
archaeological purposes as adjuncts of those who are too much engrossed in its
practical and doctrinal side to allow themselves time for what seems to them
unessential. But even what has been heretofore rediscovered, as it were, thanks to
the labors of Leopold Zunz, Samuel Loeb Rapaport, Heinrich Graetz, Zacharias
Frankel, Michael Sachs, Solomon David Luzzatto, Abraham Geiger, M. Joel, Joseph
Perles, Alexander Kohut, and a host of others, is enough to prove the marvellous
familiarity of the Rabbis with the events, institutions, and views of life of the world
outside and around their own peculiar civilization. What is more, we have been
familiarized with the philosophical impartiality and sober superiority with which
they appreciated what was laudable and reprehended what was objectionable in
the intellectual and moral condition of the 'nations of the world', as they called
the gentile world around them; kings and empires, nations and governments, public
entertainments and social habits, they reviewed through the spy-glass of pure monotheism and stern morality.
In conclusion, the author begs to state his indebtedness to Jacob Levy's
Targumic and Neo-Hebrew Dictionaries, where an amount of material far exceeding
the vocabularies of the Arukh and Buxtorf's Lexicon Hebraicum et Chaldaicum
is accumulated, which alone could have encouraged and enabled the author to
undertake a task the mere preparation for which may well fill a lifetime.
Thanks are also rendered here for the munificent subventions which enabled
the author to publish a work by its nature requiring great pecuniary sacrifices.
To the list of subscribers mentioned on the title sheet of the first volume, the following should be added: Mr. Emanuel Lehman, Mr. Louis Stern, the Honorable Isidor
Straus, the Honorable Oscar S. Straus, all of New York, and Judge Mayer Sulzberger
of Philadelphia (additional subscription). It gives the author considerable pleasure
to place among the subscriptions a gift of the school children of the Congregation
Rodef Shalom of Philadelphia, on the occasion of the seventieth birthday of its
Rabbi Emeritus.
The author also expresses his gratitude to the friends who have assisted him
in the arduous task of proof reading, among whom special mention is due to
Miss Henrietta Szold, of Baltimore. He also acknowledges his obligation to the
Rev. Dr. S. Mendelsohn, of Wilmington, K O, for the index of Scriptural citations
appended to this work, a contribution which, the author is confident, will be
welcomed by all Biblical students.
The religious sentiments inspiring the author at the completion of his labors
of five and twenty years are too sacred to be sent abroad beyond the sanctuary
of heart and home.

enter &c. (where refers to human action); Samuel
says, the mabeh of the Mishnah refers to
the tooth, i . e. to an animal's eating up the crop, for it
says (Obad. 6) its hidden treasures were laid
bare (made empty,'which refers, to eating up). Ib.
(argument against Samuel) the Mishnah
does not use the Nifal (which may mean eaten up);

not use the Kal (which may refer to human action) but

this subsequent selection is equal to a defined intention
