The Hebrew word ḥesed (חֶ֫סֶד) has a profound meaning which modern versions of the Bible can’t grasp. Various translations are used, such as mercy, faithfulness, kindness, favor, loyalty, love, grace, etc.
But what does it really mean? And what are its theological implications?
Come Thursday, September 15 at 11 AM for this new Master 2 course in Strasbourg!

Ce cours n’a pas été enregistré, désolé ! 😉
Bonjour,
Avez-vous publié depuis vos analyses sur “hesed dans la bible hébraïque” dans un article ou livre?
Sinon, y aurait-il moyen de lire votre analyse pour ceux qui ont raté votre cours de 2011 (et n’habitent pas Strasbourg)?
Bien cordialement,
Non, je n’ai pas publié ce cours, et il n’a pas été enregistré. Merci de votre intérêt pour mes travaux 😉
Re-bonjour!
Toujours pas publié? (sur Hesed)?
Je ne parle pas l’hébreu ancien, mais je note que dans la traduction anglaise du Talmud, le terme hesed est présenté, dans le passage ci-dessous, comme équivalent à gemilut hasadim, lequel est traduit par “bonté aimante” (loving kindness), Je trouve le terme plus séduisant que “miséricorde” ! Pensez-vous que ce soit acceptable comme traduction?
R. Elazar stated: Greater is he who performs charity than [he who offers] all the sacrifices, for it is said, “To do charity and justice is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice” (Proverbs 21:3). R. Elazar further stated: Acts of loving kindness (gemilut hasadim) are greater than charity (tzedakah), for it is said, “Sow to yourselves according to your charity (tzedakah), but reap according to your hesed” (Hosea 10: 12); when one sows, it is doubtful whether he will eat [the harvest] or not, but when one reaps, he will certainly eat. R. Elazar further stated: The reward of charity depends entirely upon the extent of the kindness in it, for it is said, “Sow to yourselves according to charity, but reap according to the kindness.” Our rabbis taught: In three respects gemilut hasadim is superior to charity: charity can be done only with one’s money, but gemilut hasadim can be done with one’s person and one’s money. Charity can be given only to the poor, but gemilut hasadim both to the rich and the poor. Charity can be given to the living only, gemilut hasadim can be done both to the living and to the dead. TB Sukkah.49b.11.
