What are the Aramaic Targums?

This introductory video explains what the Aramaic Targums are, and what they offer. The Targums are a vastly under-utilised resource that Bible believers can really benefit from studying.

Good

Why would anyone prefer a translation over the original?

[@doltBmB]

because the original no longer exists, and the masoretic text is itself translated, the aramaic gives a different perspective and the translations of it are less politicized by the church

[@mrwesleyrainrain]

I prefer these targums along with the Septuagint.

Jesus also spoke Greek/Rumoi also

Now the Jews, especially in terms of religion, acknowledge both Hebrew and Aramaic. : )

Jesus did not debate the scribes, Pharisees and Saducees. Jesus owned them.

Good News Bible will do me just fine,
Is more than enough for me to reach God and God, Jesus and Holy Ghost to reach me.

@Holy His so is the KJV. One instance is Pesach was translated as Easter. They are NOT the same.

[@cyndiduke6626]

@Holy His thank you, but I’ve done my own research and compare the original language to the text. KJV has many more errors. If a person sticks with one translation, then they limit themselves to one interpretation. The KJV has many more errors than that one. You have a blessed day. More than one witness is much better.
