'''<nowiki>*</nowiki>''Targum'' (pl. ''Targums'' or ''Targumim'')'''. A Hebrew and Aramaic word meaning ''interpretation''. It is used in connection with translations or paraphrases of some portion of the Old Testament in the Aramaic of Judea or Galilee, mostly dating in the present form from the Geonic period and later; in part they are based on oral tradition going back to the pre-Christian Roman period. Among the important ''Targums'' now extant are: the ''Pentateuch'', the ''Targum of Onkelos'', or ''Babylonian Targum on the Pentateuch''; and the ''Targum of Jonathan'', or ''Jerusalem Targum I''; for the Prophets, the ''Targum of Jonathan bar Uzziel'', called also the ''Babylonian Targum on the Prophets''. There are also ''Targums for Psalms, Proverbs, Job'', etc. | |||
