The article \u05d0\u05ea points to the next term \u05d0\u05e9\u05e8 \u05d3\u05e7\u05e8\u05d5 \u201cwhom they have pierced\u201d as receiving the action of the verb \u05d5\u05d4\u05d1\u05d9\u05d8\u05d5 \u201cand they shall look\u201d while the preposition \u05d0\u05dc\u05d9 must be understood \u201ctoward me\u201d as the final \u05d9 indicates the first person \u201cme\u201d.<br>\n\n\nNow lets look at how this was translated in the Aramaic Peshitta Tanak:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>whom<br>\n\nhave pierced<br>\n\nthey<br>\n\n<\/td><td>at<br>\n\nhim<br>\n\n<\/td><td>\ntoward\n\nme\n<\/td><td>\nshall look\n\nthey\n<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\u05d3\u05d3\u05e7\u05e8\u05d5<\/td><td>\u05d1\u05de\u05df<\/td><td>\u05dc\u05d5\u05ea\u05d9<\/td><td>\u05d3\u05e0\u05d7\u05d5\u05e8\u05d5\u05df<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\nNote that the Aramaic translation adds the phrase \u201cat him\u201d to the \npassage.&nbsp; This is because the Aramaic translator was attempting to \ntranslate the Hebrew word for word into Aramaic.&nbsp; In his quest for such a\n word for word translation, he attempted to translate the untranslatable\n Hebrew word&nbsp;\u05d0\u05ea with \u201cat him\u201d&nbsp;\u05d1\u05de\u05df so as to convey the idea of a pointer to \u201cwhom they pierced\u201d as the direct object.&nbsp; The Hebrew word&nbsp;\u05d0\u05ea\n is a preposition which is unique to Hebrew and which points to the next\n word or phrase as the direct object receiving the action of the verb.&nbsp; \nIn this case the word indicates that the \u201dwhom they pierced\u201d is \nreceiving the action of&nbsp; \u201dand they shall look toward me\u201d.&nbsp; The Aramaic \ntranslator has added \u201dat him\u201d so at to connect \u201dwhom they pierced\u201d with \n\u201dthey shall look toward me\u201d.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>\nwhom\n\nhave pierced\n\nthey\n<\/td><td>\nat\n\nhim\n<\/td><td>\nshall look\n\nthey\n<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\u05d3\u05d3\u05e7\u05e8\u05d5<\/td><td>\u05d1\u05de\u05df<\/td><td>\u05d3\u05e0\u05d7\u05d5\u05e8\u05d5\u05df<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> Note that the Aramaic as it appears in Jn. 19:37 differs from the  Peshitta Aramaic of Zech. 12:10 only by one word.&nbsp; This Aramaic reading  omits the phrase \u201dtoward me\u201d and retains only \u201dat him\u201d.&nbsp; Either Yochanan  or the scribe of the Aramaic text of Zech 12:10 which served as his  source text, seems to have found the phrase \u201ctoward me at him\u201d to be  redundant and thus omitted the phrase \u201dtoward me\u201d.&nbsp; This shift from  \u201ctoward me\u201d to \u201cat him\u201d could only have occurred in the Aramaic text of  Yochanan 19:37 and been translated into the Greek text of John 19:37.&nbsp;  Thus pointing to the <em><strong>Aramaic origin of the book of Yochanan<\/strong><\/em> and explaining the shift in the reading of this verse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br> Now if we look at Zech. 12:10 in context we will see that the speaker here is YHWH:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><em>&nbsp;The saying of YHWH concerning Israel\u2026<\/em><br><em>I [YHWH] will seek to destroy all of the nations<\/em><br><em>that come against Jerusalem.<\/em><br><em>And I will pour upon the house of David<\/em><br><em>And upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem,<\/em><br><em>The Spirit of grace and of supplication;<\/em><br><em>And they shall look toward me whom they pierced<\/em><br><em>And they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for his only son\u2026<\/em><br><em>(Zech. 12:1, 9-10)<\/em><br><br> So we see that:<br><br> 1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u201cMe\u201d the speaker is YHWH.<br> 2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; YHWH (\u201cMe\u201d) is being looked upon.<br> 3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The one receiving the action of being pierced is the \u201cMe\u201d being looked upon.<br> 4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Therefore the one being pierced here is YHWH.<br><br> Many translations have bent over backwards to try to avoid this reading.&nbsp; For example the JPS (1917) text has:<br><br><em>&#8220;And they shall look unto Me because they have thrust him through.&#8221;<\/em><br><br> And the Hebrew Publishing Company 1916 text has:<br><br><em>&#8220;and they shall look unto me for every one whom they have pierced&#8221;<\/em><br><br> As we have said above the Hebrew word ET&nbsp;\u05d0\u05ea  is an untranslatable Hebrew preposition which points to the next word  or phrase as the direct object which receives the action.&nbsp; While often  Hebrew is very ambiguous, here is could not be more specific in saying  that the one being pierced is the one being looked upon.&nbsp; These Rabbinic  versions are aimed at making the one looked upon be YHWH and the one  being pierced as being someone else.&nbsp; Another translation that  mistranslates Zech. 12:10 is the Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses \u201c<em>New World Translation<\/em>\u201d which reads:<br><br><em>and they will certainly look to the One<\/em><br><em>whom they pierced through<\/em><br><br> These translators do not have the luxury of making the one &#8220;looked  upon&#8221; and the one &#8220;pierced&#8221; be different because Yochanan 19:37 makes it  clear that they are the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br> Their only \u201cway out\u201d has been to wrongly translate&nbsp;\u05d0\u05dc\u05d9  \u201dtoward me\u201d as \u201cto the One\u201d.&nbsp; This translation is intended to avoid the  problem presented to Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses (who reject the idea that  Messiah was YHWH incarnate) by a text that plainly says that the \u201cMe\u201d  (YHWH) is being both looked upon and pierced.&nbsp; Since Yochanan identifies  the one pierced as well as the one looked upon as Yeshua, the JW\u2019s must  find some way to prevent this from being YHWH.&nbsp;&nbsp; They do so by  mistranslating&nbsp;\u05d0\u05dc\u05d9 as \u201cto the One\u201d.&nbsp; In reality the&nbsp;\u05d0\u05dc means \u201ctoward\u201d and the \u05d9 suffix is the first person indicator.&nbsp; This \u05d9 cannot mean simply \u201cthe One\u201d but <strong><em>must<\/em><\/strong> mean \u201c<strong>Me<\/strong>\u201d.&nbsp; This is clear to any first year Hebrew student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br> What is especially interesting is that those who wish to avoid the  clear meaning of Zech. 12:10 cannot agree together on what it is  supposed to say instead. This is because they are all trying to make it  say something other than what the Hebrew text actually does say. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"76\" height=\"80\" src=\"http:\/\/nazarenespace.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Siren.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-202\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><em><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#fb0d00\" class=\"has-inline-color\">The rent is due in just one week and we do not have it.<\/mark><\/em>  <em><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#fd0b0b\" class=\"has-inline-color\">We need your help today!<\/mark><\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you know <strong><em>we have been digging ourselves out of a budget shortfall<\/em><\/strong>.&nbsp; As\n I have said to you many times, I look on this work as a co-operative \none with me, and all of you combining our resources together in order to\n get the job done of helping to teach this great truth to all in the \nworld who will listen.
