INTRODUCTION.

i.

THE

Targum,

in

its

stage

of

oral

transmission

antedates

the

destruction

of

the second

Temple,1

but

it

was

not until

the third

or fourth

century

that

some

of

the

books

were

committed

to

writing,2

and

certain

versions

received the sanction of the Synagogue. The time and

place

of

the

final

redaction

of the

various versions

in

the

several

parts

or books

of

the

Scriptures,

and

their

relation

to

one

another,

are

still

mooted

questions.

This much

is

certain,

that

the texts

as

we have

them

to-day,

bear

in

1

Cf.

Meg.

3 a,

where

tradition ascribes

the

origin

of

the institution of

oral

translation of the

Scriptures

into

Aramaic,

to

Ezra.

Cf.

also

Ned.

b,

Jer. Meg. 74 d, Gen. R. 36, Sanhed. 2I b.

The earliest

official

written

Targum

may probably

be

traced

to

Babylon,

where the

Onkelos T.

was the first to receive the

authority

of the

Rabbis.

This

Targum

must

have

been written about

the

third

century,

since

its

Masorah

dates

from about

this

time. Cf.

Bacher,

JE.,

XI,

58;

A.

Berliner,

Die

Masorah zum

Targum Onkelos,

Leipzig,

1877;

S.

Landauer,

Die

Massorah

zumn

Onkelos,

Amsterdam,

I896.

There

are, however,

traces

of

a

written

Targum

earlier

than

that,

although

not

officially

sanctioned.

In

the

time of Gamaliel

I,

a

Targum

to

the

book of

Job

was

brought

to

him,

which he

ordered

withdrawn

from

circulation.

This

same

Targum

made

its

reappearance

in

the

time of Gamaliel

II. Cf.

Gratz,

who

maintains

this to

have

been a Greek

translation.

Further,

the

statement made

in

the

Mishnah,

refers

no

doubt

also

to a

written

Targum.

The

official

Targum

on

the

Torah,

called

by

the

name of

Onkelos,3

is

Palestinian in

origin

and

dialect,4

but

its

final redaction and

authorization

took

place

in

Babylon

about the third

century,5

where,

as

some

believe,

its

vocabulary

and

grammar

were

slightly

influenced.6

3. Parallel to the Onkelos, is the unofficial Jerusalem

Targum

I,7

of

a

mixed

Palestinian and

Babylonian

3

This

name,

which is

based

on

the

passage

in

Meg. 3

a,

arose

in

the

post-Talmudic

period, through

confusion

of the

Aramaic

translation of

Scriptures

with

the Greek

version

of

Aquila.

According

Onkelos

was

by

it

in the

at

the

earliest.

This

Targum

is

now known

generally

as

Jerusalem

Targum

I.

It

also

bears the name of ' Pseudo-Jonathan '. It was not universally known during

the

early

Middle

Ages,

the

following

apparently

being

the

only

ones

who

knew

of

its

existence: Sar Shalom Gaon

(Sefer

Sha'are

Teshubah,

1858,

29

c),

Hai Gaon

(Harkavy,

Teshubot

hageonimn,

24 f.,

6

f.,

Berliner,

Targum

Onkelos, II, I73 if.;

RA~J.,

XLII,

235).

Citations

from

it

are to

be

found

in

the Aruch

(cf.

Dalman,

Gram.,

29

and

30),

while

Judah

ben

Barzillai

and

R. Meir

of

Rothenberg

also

speak

of

it

(cf

Dalman,

ibid.,

and

Bacher,

JE.,

XII,

60).

After

the fourteenth

century,

this

Targum

was

erroneously

called

Targum

Jonathan,

Menahem

Recanati

being

the

first to ascribe

it to

Jonathan

ben Uzziel

(cf.

JE., XII,

60).

This mistake arose no doubt from

a

wrong

analysis

of

the

abbreviation

"n'

(=D?'wI'

Dlnl).

Cf. also

the

Zohar

(I,

89

a)

which

contains

the

statement

that

'Onkelos

translated

the

Torah,

and

Jonathan

the

Mikera';

it

is

most

probable

that

'Mikra'

here

means the

Prophets

(Bacher,

I..

;

REJ.,

XXII, 46),

but

that it

was

misinterpreted

to mean

the entire

Bible,

and

hence

the

Pentateuch

also

(cf.

Ginsburger

'

Pseudo-Jonathan

',

p.

vii).

of

which

originated

in

Palestine,

probably

earlier than the Christian era,9 but whose final

redaction did not

occur

before

the

seventh

century.10

4.

Linguistically

very

similar

to

Jerusalem

Targum

I,

are

two other

Targumin

on

the

Torah,

the

fragmentary

Jerusalem

Targum

II,11

and the

Jerusalem

Targum

in

Dalman,

We have the

evidence of

Azariah

dei

Rossi

(Meor

Enayim,

ed.

Wilna,

p.

I27)

that

he

saw two

manuscripts

of a

Targum

on

the

Pentateuch

that

agreed

in

every

detail,

named

respectively

'Targum

Jonathan

ben

Uzziel'

and

'Targum

Jerushalmi'.

The

editio

princeps (Venice, I59I)

of

this

Targum

was

printed

from the first

mentioned

manuscript,

which bore

the

wrong

title and

perpetuated

the

wrong

name.

8

Cf

Dalman,

Gramm.,

p.

32.

There

is

evidence,

likewise,

that

the

Targum

Onkelos

exercised

some

influence

over

it.

9 Diverse opinions prevail among scholars as to the age of this nucleus.

On

the one

hand

it

is

claimed that

there

are

elements

antedating

the

Christian

era

and

representing

a Palestinian

recension

independent

of the

original

of

Onkelos.

On

hand,

it

is

maintained

that

these

elements are

to be traced

back to

the

original

source of

Onkelos,

which

was

the

parent

of

both,

and further-

more,

that

the redactor

of

the

Targum,

while he used a

of

current

did not

This

Targum

was

traced

back

by

tradition

to be the

work of

Jonathan

ben Uzziel

(Megillah

3 a).

Luzzatto

identifies

this

Jonathan

with

Theodotion,

as

Onkelos

is identified with

Aquila.

As

early

as the time

of the

Babylonian

Amora,

Joseph

bar

R.

Hiyya,

it

was

generally accepted,

and

quoted

with

great

frequency

in

the

Academies

(cf.

Bacher,

Ag.

Bab.

Amor.,

p.

103).

Hai

Gaon

apparently

considered

R. Joseph

to

be

its

author, but he was probably its earliest redactor (cf.

Aruch,

II,

293 a,

308

a).

Cornill

views

this

Targum

as

of

greater

antiquity

than that

of

Onkelos,

since it

is

more

paraphrastic

in

character and

free

from anti-Christian

polemics

(Cornill, Einleitung

in das

AT.,

1893,

p.

308).

But this

view

is untenable

since these

qualities

issue

from

the

nature

of the

prophetic

books

which are

more

didactic than the

Pentateuch,

and

from

the

total

absence of

anti-Christian

polemics

in the

Babylonian

schools

(cf.

Dalman,

1.

c.).

14

It

seems

probably

certain

that the

redactor

of

this

Targum

had

before

him the Targum Onkelos (cf. the translations in Judges 5. 26 with Deut.

22.

5;

2

Kings

14.

6

with

Deut.

14.

6;

Jer. 48. 45, 46

with

Num.

21.

25,

29);

but

opinion

is

divided as to

whether

the redaction

is the

product

of

one

hand.

There

are numerous

parallel

translations

and

obviously

later

inter-

polations

to

be

found

(cf.

Eichhorn, Einleitung,

I,

217;

they

vary

from

strict literalness

to

amplified

Mid

rash,

manifested on the one hand in the Targum to Proverbs,'6

and on

the

other,

in the

Targum

to the Five

Scrolls.17

Linguistically, they

are

composite

in

character

18

and

their

sources

likewise are a

mixture of

very

ancient material

combined

with

later

matter

drawn from Palestinian and

Babylonian literary

compilations.19

Their redaction took

place sometime between the fifth and eighth centuries.

The

Targum

to

which

is

was

probably

written

in the latter

period,

there

being

of

Arabic

influences.

Finally,

a

Jerusalem Targum

to the

Prophets

and

also

seems

to

have

existed

at

some

time,

16

This

Targum

agrees

in

major

part

with the

Peshitta

version,

with

which

it

probably

shares

a

common

source,

only

one of

which

is

recognized

by

o1. The

Tiberian

system

of

punctuation,

it

seems,

was

not

originally

adaptable

for

Aramaic texts.26 Hence it

is

quite probable

that

in

the

earliest

texts

of

the

Targum

supplied with vowels, the superlinear system was used, and

that

with

the more

universal

usage

of

the

sublinear

system

the

former

was

transposed

into

the

latter.27

II.

Some

internal

evidence

as well

as

external

testimony

points

to

this

fact.

of

the

Targum,

as

contained

in the

Sabbioneta

edition,28

with

the

Babylonian

strikingly

reveals

their

common source

of

origin.

Notwithstanding

the

many

corrupt

forms

it

contains,

the

Sabbioneta text shows

all

the

ear-marks

of

a

Babylonian

or

superlinear

punctuation.29

THE

JEWISH

QUARTERLY

REVIEW

13.

Thus

it

appears

that the

superlinear

vocalization

is probably the oldest known in the Targum texts, and

that

this

system,

due to its

gradual

disuise,

was

changed

into the

one

common now.32

I4.

This

transposition

of

the

Targum

vowels

led

naturally

to

inaccuracies and

mistakes,

which

multiplied

in

pro-

portion

to

the

number

of new

manuscripts

written and

new

editions published. Elias Levita, in his Introduction to the

Meturgeman,

laments

the

confused state

of

the

Targum

texts,

and the

multitudinous variations

in

vocalization

which

then

existed.

He,

as

well as Buxtorf

and

others,

proposed

to

bring

some order

into

the

chaos

by correcting

these

texts on

the

basis of Biblical

Aramaic.33 This was done

to some

extent,34

but the method

possesses

no

scientific

value.35

15.

Such

was

the

state

of

Targumic

texts until

the

discovery

of

the Yemen

MSS.

threw

a

flood

of

light

upon

this

department

of

Semitic

learning,

and

stimulated

active

research therein.

These

MSS.

have

proved

of

invaluable

32

It is

at

present

impossible,

with the

evidence

available,

to

come

to

a

final

judgement

in

this

matter. It

may

be that the

Tiberian

system

of

punctuation

was

originally

employed

for

Targum

texts

in

those localities

where it

prevailed

for

Hebrew,

and that we have

to-day

an

independent

Tiberian tradition in

these

texts.

But

this

cannot

be

settled,

as

Lagarde

has

pointed

out,

until all the

pure

Tiberian

manuscripts

shall have been

carefully

studied

and

compared.

Cf.

Lagarde,

Mitteilungen,

II, I74.

And

even

if

this

should be

conclusively established,

which seems dubious

(cf.

Kahle,

204),

nevertheless,

the

worthlessness

of

the

current

Tiberian

Aramaic

texts

is

established beyond doubt.

between

on one

hand,

and

TARGUM

TO

CANTICLES-MELAMED

the

Lagarde

text on

the

other.

Apparently

there

are

two

underlying recensions, both of which have attained their

present

form

independently

of one

another. These varia-

tions

include

independent readings,

morphological

and

syntactical

differences.

25.

While it

must

be

admitted,

at the

outset,

that,

on

the whole L

preserves

a

superior

consonantal

text,

there

are

numerous

independent readings

and

constructions

in

the MSS.

which establish

beyond

question

a

different

archetype

and

origin.

26.

While

all

the

MSS.

form

one

group among

them-

selves

as

opposed

to

L,

they

are

by

no

means

uniform

in

their

readings.

Indeed,

a

casual

analysis

of their

respective

texts

reveals

special

affinities

among

several of

them.

The six MSS. divide themselves into four distinct

groups,

all

bearing

the characteristic

stamp

of

their

common

origin,

but each

possessing

features

peculiarly

its

own.

Thus,

A and

B

bear characteristics

distinctively

their

own,

and form one

family

group,

while

E

and

F

are

likewise

especially

and

peculiarly

related

one

to

the

other.

Of

course differences exist between A 'and B and E and F

respectively,

but most

of

these are

traceable to

individual

peculiarities

of

their

scribes.

C

stands

apart,

representing

a

group

all its

own,

while

D,

though

fragmentary,

likewise

possesses

features

distinctive

to

itself.

The

frequency

with which

C

contains

readings

peculiar

to

EF

would indicate that it

is

more

intimately

related

to that

group

than to AB.

And likewise D

possesses

stronger

affinities

with

both

C and with EF

than

with

AB.

The

fragmentary

character of

D,

however,

precludes

any positive

conclusions.

If we

represent

Apparently the reading of L

in

Y.

curiously

enough,

the same

are

to

be

found,

the former

while Y

has

There

is

a

strong

possibility

that

the

archetype

of

Y

did

not

understand the

rarer

word

in5T,

and

substituted

the more

common

i1nr1

for

it. Then

again

the

Hebrew texts in

both

places,

,man

and

nlmnt

'to

distil'

or 'to

drip',

would seem to

require

in

its

Aramaic

paraphrase

some

such word

as

nlr.

The

text

of

Y,

however,

is

clear,

and

points

back to an

independent

version.

The

text of

Y is

apparently

defective

here,

all

the

Yemen

MSS.

omitting

the

first

clause.

The

Hebrew

text

which

repeats

,:,nM:,

seems

to

require

the double

passage

r:

nli

Iy

t3p.

The scribe of the original Yemen version probably allowed

his

eye

to

wander in

transcribing

this

verse,

and

inserted

the

phrase

y

lp

ws:

K,m

'::,

which

belongs

to the

omitted

clause,

in

the

wrong

place.

The

reading

of

L

T1:2

"

was

corrupted

in

Y

to

14:2',

which

also

omits

Kp'XY.

The

text

of

L

thus

seems to

be

better

preserved,

although

it

is

not

beyond

possibility

that

the

shorter

text

of

Y

may

have

been the

original

reading.

At

any

rate,

the

uniformity

of all

the

MSS. of

Y

show

that

they

belong

to

one

and

the

same

recension,

different

to

that

underlying

L.

3I.

There

are,

moreover,

other

differences which

point

to

these

independent

versions.

Thus

in

5.

4

the

variations

in

reading

considerably

alter

the

sense

of

the

passage.

Thus: unr5n py KN 5i na K'^ rnr,

1p

71

Snr :

rn,mi

nn,r1r.

It is

difficult

to

say

which

reading

is to

be

preferred.

Both

give

good

sense,

but

L

seems

to

connect

with

the

previous

verse,

5.

3,

slightly

better

than

Y.

32.

Likewise in

i.

8,

the

two

versions

show

material

difference in

the

thought expressed.

sni~

snnnee

nin

wyMN

sn'=w

.

It

is

possible

that L

has an

independent text,

but

since the

context

requires

some such

text

as

Y,

it

seems

more

likely

that

the

latter is

the

correct and

more

original

reading.

The variants

in L

can then

be

accounted

for

through

scribal

error.

In the use

the

between

L omits

5

although

the

generally

requires it,

but

Y

reads

KmrU5

n5nn5.

In

L

uses

while

Y

writes

Although

unnecessary,

in

L

uses

while

Y

omits

it:

thus L

n

l

nna,

Y

In

16,

L

slightly

alters

the

sense

by

its use

of

a different

preposition

to that

of

Y: thus L writes MnnM

DMnl3y,

Y104

nnn

D3nl5.

In

while

omits the

82. As

stated

above,

the Yemen

MSS. are not

uniform

in

their

texts.

While

forming

a

group

in

themselves,

distinct

from

L,

they

nevertheless

diverge

one

from

the

other

in

text,

in

orthography,

and

matters of

morphology

and

syntax.

Each

of

the

manuscripts

has

features,

dis-

tinctive

to itself

alone,

as

the

following analysis

will

endeavour

to

show.

83.

The

most

reliable

and best

preserved

of

these

texts

are AB.

They

contain the least number of textual and

scribal

errors,

and seem to

preserve

the

more

CHAPTER

C

o10.

The

text of C

presents

a number

of

independent

readings

and

forms. It

has

many

features

peculiar

to

itself

which mark

it

apart

from the rest

of

the

manuscripts.

But of all the texts, it is most

prone

to textual errors and

omissions.

Especially

is

it

careless

in

omitting

words

and

phrases;

of

such

omissions

there

is

a

large

number.

Like

C

prefers

the use

of

D

to that

of

i,

and,

but

for the word

,gwy

which occurs

twice,

uses

only

the

D.

C prefers final N to n, writing invariably

NK

and NK:,

but

also

nnVIw,

n1D.

C

rarely

uses

it

occurs

but

once

ordinarily

nzt,

Thus

we

find

CHAPTER

IV

D

119.

Despite

its

fragmentary

character,

D contains

a

number of interesting variants and forms. It contains even

an

independent

reading

which

appears

to

be

genuine

and

not a

corruption.

While it

presents

closer

relation

to

C

than

to

the other

manuscripts,

its

variants

indicate

that

it

is

an

independent

text,

and the

missing

sections would

no

doubt

have

given

us

a

number of

interesting

variants

in

form

and text.
