Shlama Lars,
Thank you for your contribution.
If I am not mistaken the document you have uploaded "Midrasch Bereschith Rabba",is a midrash on Genesis , which dates from the the 6th century CE, whilst as you say it is " pretty old",it does not help us understand if at the time when the gospels were written ( 1st Century CE) the language you highlighted was in use. If anything, it may be useful in showing how the language has changed from the beginning the the 2nd century when Targum Onkelos was composed.
