520 |a The article explores the ‘Gehenna’ concept in Targum Jonathan to the Latter Prophets. Post-mortem expectations in TJLP vary, and do not necessarily include the term ‘Gehenna’: ‘mighty’, tyrannical Gentile rulers (not called ‘wicked’, nor charged with ‘transgressing the Memra of the LORD’) have already entered ‘Sheol’, ‘the pit of Destruction’, or ‘the nether world’. ‘Wickedness’ and ‘Memra-transgression’ characterise Israelite malfeasants who disregard Torah; they will suffer retribution commensurate with their wrong-doing. Gehenna’s entrants are ‘wicked’ Israelites who, after judgement, will go to Gehenna because they have offended the Memra: they have behaved idolatrously, thereby failing to serve the law. Until pardoned, they must inhabit hostile Gehenna—infernal, remote, extensive, fiery, dark. In contrasting the usage of ‘Sheol’ and ‘Gehenna’ in Targum Jonathan, this essay seeks to supplement recent academic discussion about the ultimate destinations of the righteous and wicked in post-biblical Jewish literature.
