A Targum is technically any translation of the Hebrew Scriptures, but usually it refers to the Aramaic translation of such a book. This Targum is Onqelos to Exodus translated with apparatus and notes into English by Bernard Grossfeld. The English translation remains as close to the Aramaic as grammar will allows the reader a sense of the original idiom. Extensive notes are provided that provide further reference and information where needed. An introduction to the book is helpful in giving the reader an idea of the significance and meaning of the Targum Onqelos. Old Testament scholars and students alike will find this volume useful in illuminating the world of the Targums, which reveals a great deal about the history of biblical interpretation.
