PARAKLITA

Jan-23-2002 at 12:35 PM (UTC+3 Nineveh, Assyria)

Jn. 14:16 comforter As Is. 66:13 states As one whom his mother comforts, so will I comfort you comforter Aramiaic: 0+ylqrp This Aramaic word also appears in the Mishna:

He who does even a single religious duty
gets himself a good advocate (or comforter) (Hebrew: +ylqrp )
he who does even a single transgression
gets himself a prosecutor.
(m.Avot 4:11a)

And in the Talmud it is used to refer to the sin offering::

R. Simeon said: For what purpose does a sin-offering come?
for what purpose does a sin-offering come?
Surely in order to make atonement! Rather,
Why does it come before the burnt-offering?
like an intercessor (+ylqrp ) who enters
: When the intercessor (+ylqrp )
has appeased , the gift follows.
(b.Zev. 7b)

The Jewish Dictionary states:

The sin offering is like the parclete (+ylqrp ) before God,
it interceded for man and is followed by another
a thank offering for the pardon obtained
the two daily burnt offerings are called the two parcletes
Jewish Dictionary pp. 514-515

This word is also used in the Aramaic Targum of Job in Job. 16:20 & 33:23 as a translation for the Hebrew word MELETZ one who intercedes, an advocate.

Although this is generally seen as a loan word from Greek, it has been proposed that the word is derived from Semitic parik to break and leta (there is not) or from parik apart from and leta (the curse in Persian) or that it is some participle of the Aramaic verb qrp prak to save.

The Ruach HaKodesh is a 0+ylqrp paraklita. The Ruach is a comforter (see comments to Mt. 5:4) who intercedes for us as an advocate before the Father. The Ruach prays on our behalf (Rom. 8:26).

ooo I HATE brakets with this software!

The Talmud quote should read like this:

(brackets replaced with () )

R. Simeon said: For what purpose does a sin-offering come?
(You ask,) for what purpose does a sin-offering come?
Surely in order to make atonement! Rather, (the question is
Why does it come before the burnt-offering?
(Because it is) like an intercessor (+ylqrp ) who enters
(to appease the King): When the intercessor (+ylqrp )
has appeased (him), the gift follows.
(b.Zev. 7b)


+ylqrp

Assyrian \ã-'sir-é-an\ adj or n (1998)   1:  descendants of the ancient empire of Ashur   2:  the Assyrians, although representing but one single nation as the direct heirs of the ancient Assyrian Empire, are now doctrinally divided, inter sese, into five principle ecclesiastically designated religious sects with their corresponding hierarchies and distinct church governments, namely, Church of the East, Chaldean, Maronite, Syriac Orthodox and Syriac Catholic.  These formal divisions had their origin in the 5th century of the Christian Era.  No one can coherently understand the Assyrians as a whole until he can distinguish that which is religion or church from that which is nation -- a matter which is particularly difficult for the people from the western world to understand; for in the East, by force of circumstances beyond their control, religion has been made, from time immemorial, virtually into a criterion of nationality.   3:  the Assyrians have been referred to as Aramaean, Aramaye, Ashuraya, Ashureen, Ashuri, Ashuroyo, Assyrio-Chaldean, Aturaya, Chaldean, Chaldo, ChaldoAssyrian, ChaldoAssyrio, Jacobite, Kaldany, Kaldu, Kasdu, Malabar, Maronite, Maronaya, Nestorian, Nestornaye, Oromoye, Suraya, Syriac, Syrian, Syriani, Suryoye, Suryoyo and Telkeffee. — Assyrianism verb

Aramaic \ar-é-'máik\ n (1998)   1:  a Semitic language which became the lingua franca of the Middle East during the ancient Assyrian empire.   2:  has been referred to as Neo-Aramaic, Neo-Syriac, Classical Syriac, Syriac, Suryoyo, Swadaya and Turoyo.
