Explanation:
dar citatul armator este lamuritor si traducerea poate fi adaptata contextului:

The earliest occurrences in Hebrew literature of the root gnz, from which the word genizah is derived, are in late sections of the Hebrew Bible, where it refers to the storage of valuable items. The root, of Persian origin, is attested not only in Hebrew and Aramaic but also more widely in Semitics, with the meanings of hide, cover and bury. In the rabbinic literature of the first few Christian centuries, it carries similar senses and is used to describe special treasures stored away by God, such as the Torah and the souls of the righteous. In Jewish religious law, which proscribes the obliteration of the name of God on the basis of its interpretation of Exodus 20:7 and Deuteronomy 12:4, genizah describes the removal from circulation of some item that is or has at some stage been regarded as sacred, whether legitimately or illicitly, and is now ruled inappropriate for ritual use.

Geniza


Explanation:
H final este semn al femininului (se scrie Torah in franceza si engleza); nu stiu unde am citit asta, cred ca in Pendulul lui Foucault (U. Eco).
In romana se scrie Tora.

Traditia evreiasca, istoriografia musulmana medievala si manuscrisele descoperite in Geniza din Cairo atesta careacterul iudaic al regatului. Convertirea kazarilor si existenta unui stat evreu puternic, desi indepartat, a constituit o incurajare pentru evreii din Evul Mediu
