Talk:Targum Onkelos

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Not everything in the world has to be related to modern Jewish denominations. This is an issue that has been discussed for a very long time. It properly belongs in a section on "history."Dovi 12:59, Jul 23, 2004 (UTC)

This is a quote by User:66.108.191.130 moved from the main page: I just want to point out that Onkelos was a convert. He started late down the path of a life of God and still managed to be a great scholar. His translation is not only a translation but also a commentary. Today we would consider such a work "biased" or just a bad translation, it was not intended to supplant, but rather to explain the Hebrew text. Let us pray that all of us, no matter when we begin to take our faiths or beliefs seriously, we will walk with the divine and serve as a beacon to others as Onkelos did. Frikle 06:39, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)
