Stumbled upon Lapide.org

All content is an experiment using the AI "Claude" to translate latin texts (sometimes not available in translation) into public domain english. This seems to do a pretty good job, but it is certainly possible that there are errors caused by the OCR process or translating itself.

I know this is a little technical but if you do find errors the best way to let me know is probably to create an "Issue" at https://github.com/farant/lapide where all the content for the site is located.

God bless you and I hope you find these translations useful!

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing.

Cf. Lapide.org on Gen. 2:23, which romanizes the Greek and Hebrew:

Symbolically and elegantly, R. Abraham ben Ezra notes that in the word isscha there is contained the contracted name of God, Yah, who is the author of marriage; and as long as this name remains in the marriage (and it remains as long as the spouses fear God and love one another), for so long God is present at and blesses the union. But if they hate each other and forget God, then the spouses cast away that name; and thus when the yod and he, which form Yah, are removed, all that remains from isch and isscha, that is from man and woman, is esh esh, that is fire and fire -- namely the fire of quarrels and trouble in this life, and in the next life, eternal fire.

Symbolically and elegantly, Rabbi Abraham ben Ezra notes that the contracted name of God, הי, iāh [or yāh] is contained in the word השא, 'iššāh [woman]. God is the founder of marriage, and as long as His name remains in marriage — and it remains as long as spouses fear God and mutually love each other — God will be present in and bless the marriage. But if they hate one another and forget God, then the spouses will cast away that name. Therefore, with the Hebrew letters yod [י] and he [ה] removed, of which the word הי is composed, all that remains of שיא, 'îš, and השא, 'iššāh, i.e. all that remains of the of the Hebrew words for "man" and "woman," is שא שא, êš êš, i.e., "fire and fire," the fire of quarrels and trouble in this life, but eternal fire in the next.
