Linear Chumash Translation for Most

Parshiyos in Torah
By Rabbi Ephraim Shraga Shain

Grade Level: Elementary-High School

Description:
Helpful sheets for many parshiyos in the Torah that have linear English translations of
the pesukim. Words in parenthesis offer further clarification of the literal translation.
These are useful as a reference for the teacher, students or parents. Sheets are
editable so they can be modified to adapt the translations to the needs of the class.
Goals/Objectives:
Students will translate and define words and phrases from the Chumash by using these
sheets as a guide.
Instructions:
1. The teacher can distribute the sheets either perek by perek or a whole parsha at a
time.
2. The students can use the sheets in class to help them translate the pesukim as the
pesukim are being taught.
Variations:
For students who are more proficient in translating pesukim, the teacher can leave out
some of the easier translated words.
Substitute YIddish teitch or Ivrit bIvrit for the English translation.
Send the sheets home so the parents have a handy reference of how the class
translated the pesukim, when they review each night with their child.
The students can use the sheets for independent learning of any passuk or perek in
Chumash that is included in the file.

1. of everything (oe`b `plie in edil` zxc`). [although this does not follow Ljyx, it is the accepted standard translation
used in most schools]
2. In English the subject precedes the predicate, first we denote who is doing the action and then we say the action.
However in the dxez, most of the time, the predicate (action) precedes the subject (the one who is doing the
action). [from here on this idea will be called rule #1]
3. mentioned in the previous weqt had the following three features.
4. literally- she was, however the pronoun she is superfluous here since the noun ux` which she represents is
stated explicitly. [from here on this idea will be called rule #2]. In the dxez there is no it. Every noun is either
xkf or dawp, he or she. ux` is dawp so the dxez uses dzid and not did [from here on this idea will be called rule #3].
5. [although this does not follow Ljyx, it is the accepted standard translation used in most schools] The double
emptiness is understood as empty of living things, ig, and even empty of growing things, gnev. Only inanimate
objects, mnec, existed at that point like the dxez goes on to enumerate, the dirt, water, and air.
6. usually the, which points to a definite article, is the translation of the prefix d which is called the dricid d.
However, here, even without the d, it is self understood that it is a definite article, since it is not just any face
but the face of the deep waters. [from here on this idea will become part of rule #5 which is explained in the
footnote on the word of]
7. The word face is used here to mean front or top as opposed to the middle, just like the face of a person is in front
of him and on the top. [from here on this idea will be called rule #4]
8. the word of is added for the English. Whenever two nouns are written next to each other in the dxez, it is self
understood that the second one defines the first one and that they are attached in some way. Usually the word
of will be used, but other links may also be used depending on the context. In a lot of such cases the first word
is changed to show that it is leaning, jnqp, on the second one, as is the case here where the word mipt was
changed to ipt. [from here on this idea will be called rule #5]
9. here again, even without the d, it is self understood that it is a definite article, since it has another word
describing it, namely ipt, hence it must be that specific medz which ipt is describing. [from here on this will also
be part of rule #5]
10.until hh weqt the earth was totally surrounded by water. Therefore, the face of the deep waters means the bottom
of the water layer, where it touched the ground.
11. Pjayx [although this does not follow Ljyx, it is the more simple hyt of the weqt]
12.rule #5
13. Pjayx [although this does not follow Ljyx, it is the more simple hyt of the weqt]
14.here it means on top of the water layer. What we have so far is gex ,min ,jyg ,xtr one on top of the other. The only
one missing out of the four zeceqi is y`. The Pjialn and others say that jyg is y`.

and Hashem said

there16 should17 be light
and there was18 light

15.rules #1&2
16.literally- he should be which is referring to the existence and means the existence should contain in it light.
17.literally he will be due to the future tense prefix. Should is understood from the context. [from here on this
idea will be called rule #6]
18.although the word idi is future, idie is past, since the prefix e reverses its tense and is called a jtdnd e. Just
like the word xn`ie in the beginning of this weqt which is only past because of the jtdnd e. [from here on this
idea will be called rule #7]
19.the word ik has multiple meanings: some of them are; that, rather, because, when. [from here on this idea will
be called rule #8]
20.we are translating it as if it would have said aeh did ik. The dxez is written in a sort-of short-hand. [from here on
this idea will be called rule #9]
21.the connection between the first and second half of the weqt is unclear. Ljyx explains that the light was too good to
be together with the darkness and therefore Hashem separated them. The Rjanx however, learns that there is in
fact no connection and the dxez is saying two distinct things. [from here on this idea will be called rule #10]
22.in English it would suffice to say between the light and the darkness. [from here on this idea will be called rule
#11]
23.There are two meanings, 1- Hashem gave the light and darkness names (similar to awri eny `xwie). 2- Hashem
called to the light and darkness and instructed them to be in charge of the day and night (similar to dyn l` `xwie).
24.the is usually written as a jGk however it can be shortened to just the dcewp which would have been under the
jGk. Hence, xF`d-the light, xF`l-to/for light, xF`l\xF`dl-to/for the light. [from here on this idea will be called rule
#12]
25.day here refers to the part of the day which is light.
26.rule # 12
27.literally- and he was which is referring to the existence and means the existence went through an evening.
28.evening is the time when the light fades and slowly darkens and morning is the time when the light begins to
shine and slowly brightens. The Torah figures a day from sundown to sundown therefore evening comes first.
29.Its not called the first day because there was no second yet. Ljyx also says that the mik`ln were first created on
the second day and therefore the zecg` of Hashem was more xkip on the first day so the dxez calls it cg` mei.
30.day here refers to the whole 24 hour cycle from sundown to sundown which includes a night and day.
31.the dxez says the what first and then describes it, hence mei first and then cg`.

The death of oiw:

jnl was blind. He went hunting with his son oiw laez guiding him. oiw laez saw oiw and mistook him for
an animal (since Hashem removed His ze` from him now that he already had seven generations). He
aimed for jnl and had him shoot oiw. After realizing what he did, jnl clapped his hands together in
despair and mistakenly caught oiw laez in the clap and killed him. His wives wanted to keep away from
him fearing a great punishment for the two murders. In the following miweqt we find jnl trying to calm
their fears.

(This Posuk teaches that the tnufa was done with all three together; the chest, the thigh, and the
fats. We also learn that the fats were on bottom during the tnufa. They were brought from the
animal by another Cohen with the fats on top and in passing them they were turned over. After
the tnufa too, they were passed to a third Cohen and turned over again placing the fats on top.
Then the fats were burnt on the mizbeach
and the chest and thigh went to the Cohanim to eat.)

This brought them to the desert right outside of the Emori who were situated North of the Arnon river.]
