Rabbi and Rabbinism, Rabbi means “my teacher” (Matt. 23:8); Rabboni means the same, but is a more honorable title. None of the prophets or doctors of the law received this title until the time of Hillel and Shammai, leaders of the two rival branches of rabbinical teaching. Hilel b. Babylon 1100 B.C.—d. at the extreme age of 120. Allowing for variations in chronological reckoning, he might with bare possibility have been among the doctors who disputed with the child Jesus (Luke 2:41-47). Hillel was father to Simeon, with whom some identify Simeon of Luke 2:25. Gamaliel (Acts 5:34) was Simeon’s son, and one of seven men only who bore the higher title, Rabban. The highest title among the Babylonian Jews was Rab or Rav. Abba Arika of Sura, highest of all, was known simply as Rab or Rav (see Rav). As he was head of rabbinism at Babylon, so was Rabbi Jehudah the Holy of Palestine. Some of these rabbis (or rabbins, as the word is often written), led holy lives, and their teaching was exalted; others did not, and their teaching was corrupted—especially as regards women. Rabbi Jehudah the Holy, publisher of the Mishna (see Talmud), was almost deified by his followers.

Talmud and Talmudic. The Talmud is the body of Jewish civil and canonical law. It is composed of two parts, the Mishna and the Gemara, that is, Comments on the Mishna. The comments of the Babylonian Rabbis, added to the Mishna together make the Babylonian Talmud; the Mishna with the comments of Palestinian Rabbis make the Jerusalem Talmud. The latter is a much larger work than the Bible, and The Babylonia Talmud is many times larger than the Jerusalem Talmud. The Talmud has more authority than the Bible to the orthodox Jew, yet as Dr. Edersheim truly says: “It may be fearlessly asserted that, as regards their substance and spirit, there is not a difference, but a total divergence of fundamental principles between Rabbinism and the N. T., so that comparison between them is impossible;” and Dr. Philip Schaff has defined the Talmud as “the O.T. turned against the N.T.” To this source is to be traced the perversions of the sense of other Scripture passages besides Gen. 3:16, (see Rabbi). Cited: 8, 16, 18, 87, 87n, 89, 102, 106, 129, 132, 134, 139, 139n, 145 146n, 202, 243, 335, 503, 603, 610, 683, 692, 829.

Targums were originally oral; the earliest one, Onkelos on the Pentateuch, began to be committed to writing in the 2nd century. This is often called the Chaldee Paraphrase, and is the best of the targums. Ben Uzziel comprises Joshua, Judges, Samuel, Kings, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and the Minor Prophets; published in the 4th century. These two belong to Babylon. Then, there is a Jerusalem targum on the Pentateuch, and Palestinian targums of very uncertain dates attributed to Joseph the Blind on Psalms, Proverbs, Job, Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah, Ruth, Esther, Chronicles, Canticles, Lamentations and Ecclesiastes—books which follow this order in the Hebrew Bible, 134, 139, 140, 145, 146n, 668.

The word means a wrap or shawl rather than a veil, since the latter is never double, 561.
