Targum Onqelos is the official eastern translation of the Torah in Aramaic. This particular Targum is read in synagogues after the reading of the Hebrew text. There is an ancient tradition in Orthodox Judaism where the Hebrew Torah portion is read twice weekly - and once from the Aramaic Targum. Targum Onqelos is almost always published with the Chumash (a printed edition of the Torah containing the Five Books of Moses along with commentaries and additional materials to facilitate personal study.)

While the text of Targum Onqelos is not identical to the Aramaic Peshitta Tanakh, it is worthy of examination of study because it can assist in giving a background to the original Hebrew text of the Torah (Aurayta).
