Description

Targum Onkelos: An Aramaic Translation of the Torah The Targum Onkelos is an official eastern (Babylonian) targum, or Aramaic translation, of the Torah. Its origins are shrouded in mystery, with some traditions suggesting it may have originated in Israel and was later revised by its famous author. Attributed to Onkelos, a renowned convert to Judaism in Tannaic times, this translation is unique in its avoidance of personification. According to Jewish tradition, the content of Targum Onkelos was originally conveyed by God to Moses at Mount Sinai, before being rerecorded by Onkelos himself. This targum has been an integral part of Jewish liturgy for centuries, recited by heart alongside the Hebrew verses of the Torah in synagogues around the world.
