Targum

A Targum is a translation of the Hebrew Bible into Aramaic, a language spoken by Jews and other communities in the ancient world. The word "targum" is Aramaic itself, meaning "interpretation" or "translation." A Targum was typically a spoken translation of the Hebrew Bible, intended to help people understand the scripture in their native language. It was often written down and used as a liturgical component in synagogue services, especially in the diaspora (the Jewish communities outside of Israel). Targums were created from the 1st century CE onwards, with notable examples including the Targum Onkelos (or Onkelos Targum) and the Targum Jonathan. These translations had a significant impact on the transmission of Jewish scripture and influenced the development of Judaism in the ancient world and beyond.

Targumim

Targumim (also spelled Targum or Targums) refer to the tradition of Jewish translations of the Hebrew Bible into Aramaic, especially in the Babylonian diaspora. In times when many Jews were unable to speak or understand Hebrew, the Targumim provided a way for these communities to connect with the Hebrew scripture in a language they could understand. These Aramaic translations were often translated from the Hebrew text, and the translations were sometimes detailed and sometimes simplified. Targumim most likely existed as early as the 2nd century BCE. Notable Targums include: - Targum Onkelos (of the Torah) - Targum Yerushalmi (also of the Torah) - Targum Pseudo-Jonathan (of the Torah) - Targum Neofiti (of the Torah) - Targum Jonathan (of the Books of Samuel and the Minor Prophets) - Targum of the Prophets.

Tarpeia

Tarpeia was a legendary figure in Roman mythology. According to myth, Tarpeia was a Vestal Virgin who betrayed her virtue and was transformed into a rock, known as the Tarpeian Rock, as punishment. In the story, when Romulus and Remus were making war, the Sabines besieged Rome, and the Romans were strongly fortified in the hills of the Capitol. Tarpeia had been instilled with great hatred towards the Sabines, and when the Italians, as they called the invaders, offered her a bounty of gold if she could spy for them from within the Roman encampment, she foolishly agreed. The Romans, expecting deceit from this otherwise sacred priestess, also prepared a trap. When the Vestal's condition was known to the Sabine women, who heard about it during the Genialia festivities, they are said to have felt affronted that Tarpeia should ask for jewels and gold from those who had claimed equal rights, equality, and procreation. Her payment for betrayal was stones. Upon learning of her deception, the Romans were infuriated. Enraged by Tarpeia's false betrayal, they crushed her under their shields when they stormed the hill, killing her. According to Livy, Tarpeia was crushed on the rock which then came to bear her name. This particular metamorphosis was extensive – she became the rock itself, a monument to lacking constraint and failure in trust.
