==The Targum of Onkelos== {{main|Targum Onkelos}} According to tradition, Onkelos authored the [[Targum Onkelos]] as an exposition of the "official" interpretation of the ''peshat'' (or basic meaning) of the Torah as received by rabbis [[Eliezer ben Hurcanus]] and [[Joshua ben Hananiah]].<ref>[https://www.sefaria.org.il/Megillah.3a.4?lang=bi&with=all&lang2=en Megillah 3a]</ref> This helped canonise the status of both Onkelos and his [[Targum]] in the Jewish tradition.
