Targum Job

Targum · 200-600 C.E.

The Aramaic Targums (interpretation) of Psalms, Proverbs, and Job are often treated by scholars as a single unit, as they lacked a fix place in traditional liturgy and were not associated with other Targum families such as Onkelos or Pseudo-Jonathan.

1 2 and he is king over all the sons of lions. 3 Job answered and said before God: I know that you 4 can do everything, and that you are not in want of strength and wisdom. 5 I have spoken once and I will not repeat; twice, and to that I will not 6 add. Listen, then, and I will speak; I will question you 7 and you shall answer me. I have heard of you only by hearsay, and now my eye 8 has seen you; for this I will be poured out and dissolved, and I will turn into dust 9 and ashes.
