James 4:12 ALL Israelites spoke Aramaic!!! - byrnesey - 08-01-2004
Please help me, for I am addicted. My split word obsession is overtaking my life <!-- s
--><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/sad.gif" alt="" title="Sad" /><!-- s -->This example is really important, because James was written to the 12 tribes, and even though they were SCATTERED, we see that they all still spoke ARamaic:
Some Greek say neighber, some say another. Peshitta says:
qryb A
1 Palestinian,Syr near
2 Syr other, neighbor
3 ImpArEg,JLATg,Syr relative
4 Syr present
5 Syr prepared for

Nice One !!!!!!!!!!!! :-) - Larry Kelsey - 08-01-2004
Way to go! Nice one akh! James 4:12 (or as they say Yaqub 4:12), would be an example where Greek primacists would have an EXTREMELY HARD TIME trying to convince anyone that this was either a copyist error either by written or oral tradition (dictation error)!!!!
t??n Ε“teron (the other) versus pljs??on ([thy] neighbor)

But why wouldn't you regard _qryb_ as a perfectly reasonable rendering of _plesion_? The apparatus of NA 27 cites all extant Syriac mss as evidence for _plesion_ as the original reading.

I think you miss the point. The point is that some Greek texts say X and some say Y. And when the Peshitta says Z, which can mean BOTH X and Y, that indicates that both Greek families are different translations from the Peshitta.
