Targums Neofiti 1 and Pseudo-Jonathan: Exodus: Volume 2

by Martin McNamara, Robert Hayward, Michael Maher

Overview

The Book of Exodus speaks of central events in Jewish self-understanding: the Exodus from Egypt, the covenant with Moses, and the giving of the Law. It is part narrative, part religious law. This translation of the Palestinian Targums of Exodus will assist in understanding this biblical book which is, in itself, an elaborate redaction of the Jewish faith.
