Description: This book examines the interrelationship between the ancient Aramaic translation of the Pentateuch known as Targum Onkelos and Halacha, the Jewish legal system. It demonstrates that Targum Onkelos is based on the Halacha of its time, as orally transmitted by the early Jewish sages. The author suggests that this Targum's strict adherence to the Pentateuch has been fundamental to its acceptance as the most authoritative translation among Jewish communities throughout the ages. Utilizing material from Talmudic, Midrashic, and other sources, the book offers a detailed analysis of the Targum's textual variations and nuances, thereby illustrating how its creators interpreted the Pentateuch's laws and commandments. This approach not only provides valuable insights into the historical development of Jewish law but also sheds light on the Targum's unique contribution to biblical exegesis.
