SEK 193. This book is a brief study of how some important events in Genesis are connected with Passover in Targum Pseudo-Jonathan (one of the Palestinian Targumim). The events discussed are the story of Cain and Abel in Gen. 4 (Chapter 2), the circumcision of Abraham in Gen. 17 (Chapter 3), the visit of the angels to Abraham in Gen. 18 (Chapter 4) and Isaac’s blessing in Gen. 27 (Chapter 5).
