Abstract

The aim of this paper is to provide an assessment of the interpretation of the biblical text offered by Tg Ps 110. In addition to the direct rendering of the Hebrew original, the Targum also contains supplementary material that was introduced by the translator. Basing on the Polish translation of the Aramaic text of Ps 110 and upon examining its single verses, the principal features and major modifications of the Jewish exegesis have been identified. The supplementary material includes, among others, expansions reflecting some of the typical rabbinic views on, for instance, the benefits of studying Torah. Furthermore, the use of the translatory techniques that are characteristic of the Aramaic translations have been indicated. In this respect, it has been observed that the most of the Tg Ps 110 changes has been made to the fragments Christians interpreted as referring to Christ as the Messiah. Hence, this paper attempts to answer the question, whether there are any elements of the polemics with the Christian tradition in the Targum discussed. The exploration of the above issues leads to the conclusion that Tg Ps 110 shows signs of the historicizing and messianic exegesis.
