Prayer of the Fathers and the Mothers in the Targums, on the Background of the Septuagint and the Early Jewish Tradition
Contenu principal de l'article
Résumé
The present study intends to reveal the targumic conceptions related to the prayer of the Fathers and the Mothers, on the background of the Septuagint and the early Jewish literature. Beforehand, we furnish some notes about the Scripture, its translation/interpretation in the Septuagint and in the Targum, and about the oral tradition, such as also on the link between Targum and liturgy. In the Jewish tradition, the Patriarchs and Matriarchs were idealized from early times. On this background, we delineate the targumic conceptions about the prayer of the Fathers and of the Mothers. In the Targum they are presented as ideal figures of orantes and the pillars on which the prayer of every descendant leans. The Fathers and the Mothers are presented by the meturgemanim as corporate personalities: in them all the people is summed up, its institutions and its prayer. These conceptions may enlighten the New Testament and ancient Christian prayer.
