Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Mosaic pavement of a 6th century synagogue at Beth Alpha, Jezreel Valley, northern Israel. It was discovered in 1928. Signs of the zodiac surround the central chariot of the Sun (a Greek motif), while the corners depict the 4 "turning points" ("tekufot") of the year, solstices and equinoxes, each named for the month in which it occurs--tequfah of Tishrei, (tequfah of Tevet), tequfah of Ni(san), tequfah of Tamuz.
Русский: Мозаичный пол в синагоге 6-го века в Beit Alpha, в Израиле. Знаки зодиака, окружающие центральную колесницу солнца (по греческим мотивам), углы изображают 4 "поворотные точки" ("tekufot") года, солнцестояние и равноденствие, каждая названа по названию месяца, содержащего её - tequfah of Tishrei, (tequfah of Tevet), tequfah of Ni(san), tequfah of Tamuz.
עברית: רצפת הפסיפס של בית הכנסת העתיק שהתגלה ב-1928 ליד בית אלפא בעמק יזרעאל. סימני המזלות עם שמותיהם בעברית מופיעים מסביב למרכבת השמש (מוטיב יווני). בארבע הפינות של גלגל המזלות מצוינות ארבע תקופות השנה (ארבע העונות האסטרונומיות): תקופת תשרי (אחרי ההשתוות הסתווית), תקופת טבת (אחרי היום הקצר בשנה), תקופת ניסן (אחרי ההשתוות האביבית) ותקופת תמוז (אחרי היום הארוך בשנה).
العربية: البلاط الفسيفائي في الكنيس القديم من القرن السادس ميلاديا المعثور عليه عام 1928 قرب بيت ألفا في مرج ابن عامر ("عيمق يزراعيل"). يعرض الفسيفاء دائرة البروج مع أسماء البروج باللغة العبرية، ومركبة الشمس (عنصر يوناني) في مركز الدائرة. في زوايا الفسيفاء تظهر أسماء المواسم الفلكية الأربعة بالعبرية: "تقوفات تشريه" (موسم تشرين بعد الاستواء الخريفي)، "تقوفات طيفيت" (موسم كانون بعد أقصر نهار)، "تقوفات نيسان" (موسم نيسان بعد الاستواء الربيعي) و"تقوفات تموز" (موسم تموز بعد أطول نهار).
Français : Israël - Mosaïque de la synagogue antique Beit Alpha à la représentaion naïve, que l'on croirait dessinée par un enfant. De plus les signes du zodiaque ne sont pas correctement disposés par rapport aux 4 saisons. Il s'agit d'une mauvaise imitation, inspirée d'autres mosaiques, où l'exécutant ne comprenait pas réellement ce qu'il dessinait.
