Description
Targum Pseudo-Jonathan is an Aramaic translation of the Torah from the Land of Israel. Its style is similar to that of Targum Onkelos, but at times it appears as a looser paraphrase. The original language of this targum is Aramaic, and it was traditionally read in Jewish communities alongside the Hebrew verses of the haftarah in the synagogue. This edition is presented in English for modern readers. Scholars refer to this text as Targum Pseudo-Jonathan or TPsJ, distinguishing it from other targums such as Targum Onkelos.
