NOTICE THE PATTERN

Use the Hebrew verse as a controlled comparison, not as a substitute for Aramaic.

A Targum can clarify how an ancient Jewish Aramaic tradition renders the verse, but every Aramaic form still deserves its own analysis. Align phrase with phrase and notice both direct correspondences and meaningful expansions.

Targum Onkelos to Genesis 1:1

בְּקַדְמִין בְּרָא יְיָ יָת שְׁמַיָּא וְיָת אַרְעָא
