The map of readings

Targum renders a text; Sugya maps the debate over it. For each passage below, every scholarly and traditional reading is a sourced entry, the disputes between them are made explicit, and cross-tradition resonances appear only where a real comparative scholar has noted them. The aim is to unify the framework, never the conclusions: the disagreement is preserved and made navigable.
