Sažetak
This article examines the messianic reception of Gen 3:15 and 49:10 in targums of Oneklos, Pseudo-Jonathan, and Neophytes I. Firstly, it presents the aforementioned targums and the problem of their dating. Although the targum Oneklos tries to remain faithful to the Hebrew text, it interprets Gen 49:10 in the messianic sense. On the other hand, targums Pseudo-Jonathan and Neophytes I interpret even Gen 3:15 in the messianic sense. They introduce the term »anointed king« that has a special meaning within the whole context of each of these targums, where it is evident that the anointed king is expected, who will be victorious over evil in the last days and his kingdom will be exalted. This anointed king is also called the saviour who will deliver his people from exile. It is especially evident when it comes to Gen 49:10 that this verse has been read in the context of revealing the »secret« that has been hidden until the last times. On the basis of these texts it is evident that the messianic expectation has been very much alive in Judaism between the 1st and the 5th century.
