Re: biblical texts used devotionally
Mark,
See DJD VI, p. 86, where Milik says of 4Q156 (Targum of Leviticus),
that it was not a targum in the sense of a continuous translation of a
biblical book, but "ils pourraient provenir d'un ouvrage liturgigue ou
rituel ou` certaines parties seraient des traductions litte'rales de
quelques sections du Pentateuque; cf. le rituel arameen dans la
Description de la Jerusalem Nouvelle (2Q24; DJD III, pp 85-8)."
