According to the story in t. Shab 13.2; b. Shab 115b; y. Shab 16.15c, the Job Targum already existed at the time of Gamaliel the Elder (first half of the 1^st century CE), and an early source of this Targum was indeed found at Qumran (11QtgJob). 11QtgJob contains a literal translation. The printed version of the Job Targum differs from 11QtgJob. For Esther, two different Targumim, Targum rishon, »first Targum,« and Targum sheni, »second Targum,« are known, both of which are paraphrastic and midrashic in nature. Targum-Canticles bears a similar character. Targum-Proverbs is closely related to the Syriac translation of the Peshitta and may have been translated from that text.
