Galatians 3:28 and Mar Aphrahat - Paul Younan - 10-19-2003
Shlama Akhay,
In Mar Aphrahat's 22nd Demonstration ("Of Death and The Latter Times"), we read a quote from the Peshitta of Galatians 3:28:
Mar Aphrahat Wrote:[font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]rm0 0xyl4w
Fbqn fw 0rkdfd
0r0x rb fw 0db9 fw
0xy4m (w4yb Jwnt0 dx Jwklk f0[/font]
Transliteration:
w'emar Shlikha:
d'la dakra w'la neqbata
w'la ebada w'la bar-khere
ela kulkhon khad 'ton b'Yeshua Meshikha
Translation:
And the Apostle said
neither "male nor female"
and neither "servant nor free"
rather "you are all one in Yeshua Meshikha"

Transliteration:
Lyt dakra w'la neqbata
Lyt ebada w'la bar-khere
kulkhon gyr khad 'ton b'Yeshua Meshikha
Translation:
There is no "male nor female"
There is no "servant nor free"
"you are all one, for, in Yeshua Meshikha"
With just a little rearranging of the clauses which is typical of the writing style, or paraphrasing, of Mar Aphrahat - the reading is 100% identical to the Peshitta. <!-- s
