As a teacher and guide to the Bible in its original Middle Eastern setting, I want to invite you into a deeper experience of Scripture one that bridges the Jewish world of Jesus with our world today.

Many believers have heard of the Targum, but few truly know what it is.

🔹 Did you know that the Targum is how most Jews in Jesus’ time first heard the Bible? 🔹 Did you know it doesn’t just translate the Hebrew — it interprets, expands, and even whispers Messianic hopes through Aramaic eyes?

Join me for a live webinar where I will take you into the world of the Targum:

• Why it matters for your understanding of the Gospels

• How the early Church Fathers viewed it

• What Aramaic phrases Yeshua used that echo Targumic traditions

In the Aramaic idiom, weakness (ܟܘܪܗܢܐ, kūrḥānā) is not simply about physical or emotional frailty, but often symbolizes the place where human capacity ends and divine intervention begins. The cross—zqīpā ܙܩܝܦܐ—would be seen as the ultimate shameful death, yet Paul redefines it as the seat of ܚܝܠܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ (ḥaylā d'Alāhā), “God’s power.”

In the Semitic worldview, paradox is often embraced—a suffering servant can be victorious, a crucified one can be king. Paul, thinking in Aramaic, is expressing a mystical truth: God reverses expectations. What the world mocks as weakness, God exalts as strength.

• The phrase “the word of the cross” (ܡܠܬܐ ܕܙܩܝܦܐ, meltā d'zeqīpā) is folly (ܫܛܝܘܬܐ, shaṭyūtā) to Greeks, but salvation (ܦܘܪܩܢܐ, pūrqānā) to those who believe.

• Paul’s logic echoes Hebrew prophetic tradition, where God lifts the lowly (cf. Isaiah 53).

• Divine power manifests not in domination, but in kenosis—emptying, humility, and suffering.

Paul is not introducing a new theology but is drawing from Aramaic-Jewish roots: the God of Israel reveals His might not through empire, but through the broken body of the Messiah. In Aramaic thinking, this is not contradiction—it is divine mystery.

In this episode you will learn about:

The Dead Sea Scrolls, discovered between 1947 in the caves of Qumran near the Dead Sea, are considered the greatest archaeological discovery of the 20th century. They contain over 900 manuscripts, offering profound insights into Jewish life and scriptural interpretation during the Second Temple period.

The scrolls are attributed to a Jewish sect most likely the Essenes who withdrew from Jerusalem in protest against what they saw as a corrupt priesthood. They settled at Qumran, living in purity and waiting for the apocalyptic end of days. The discovery included stone vessels, ritual baths (mikvaot), and a scriptorium, all indicating a monastic, religious lifestyle deeply rooted in Scripture. There are three important historians that wrote about them:

Philo of Alexandria, Josephus flavious and Pliny the Elder.

Philo of Alexandria mentions that the essenes live in villages, not cities, to avoid moral corruption. They renounce wealth and personal property, living communally, they devote themselves to peace, agriculture, and virtue, rejecting war and slavery.

Josephus flavius had the most information about the essenes, they reject pleasures, value virtue, and live communally without private property, they avoid marriage, live simply, and emphasize purity and ritual cleanliness, they follow strict discipline, practice daily prayers, and eat in sacred silence and their souls are believed to be immortal, and they view the body as a temporary prison.

While Pliny the elder wrote only about the geographical location in his Natural history book and he says that the Essenes live near the Dead Sea, avoiding cities and women, they have no money, only palm trees and simplicity. Not much in details.

Three Categories of Scrolls

1. Biblical Canonical Texts: These are the oldest known Hebrew Bible manuscripts, predating the Masoretic Text our primary Hebrew Bible source by over 1,000 years. Every book of the Hebrew Bible was found—except Esther.
2. Apocryphal and Pseudepigraphal Texts: These include works like 1 Enoch and the Book of Jubilees—books that were influential in early Judaism and Christianity, even if not canonized.
3. Sectarian Texts: Unique to Qumran, these writings detail community life, beliefs, and regulations, including the Community Rule, War Scroll, and Thanksgiving Hymns. They reveal a society organized around purity, hierarchy, and eschatological expectation.
