'''Targum''' is the [[Aramaic]] word for "interpretation" or "paraphrase". It forms part of the [[Jewish]] traditional literature and dates back to the time of the second temple. As paraphrases they are not considered to be completely accurate translations of the original [[Hebrew]] text. They do, however, provide background to the Hebrew text and can assist in accurately translating difficult passages. | '''Targum''' is the [[Aramaic]] word for "interpretation" or "paraphrase".
