Targum Jonathan

Targum Jonathan (תרגום יונתן בן עוזיאל) - otherwise referred to as Targum Yonasan/Yonatan is the official eastern ( Babylonian ) targum to the Nevi'im . Its early origins, however, are western i.e. from the Land of Israel , and the Talmudic tradition attributes its authorship to Jonathan ben Uzziel . Its overall style is very similar to that of Targum Onkelos , though at times it seems to be a looser paraphrase. In Talmudic times (and to this day in Yemenite Jewish communities ) Targum Jonathan was read as a verse-by-verse translation alternatively with the Hebrew verses of the haftarah in the synagogue . Thus, when the Talmud states that "a person should complete his portions of scripture along with the community, reading the scripture twice and the targum once" (Berakhot 8a-b), the passage may be taken to refer to Targum Jonathan (as well as to Targum Onkelos on the Torah).
