very interesting points Paul!!! That would make me lean towards the Aramaic more.
I posted many of the quotes I found at one site. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a diehard "it has to be Hebrew!" fan here. I did find some interesting variants within what Trimm was working on but not to the point that anyone could say that his texts he was working on were original. His critical text is an interesting comparison tool only. At least he is attempting to bring out some texts that still remain untranslated, for whatever reason he has behind it, not that I am a part of that camp.
I'm not truley sold on any pariticulars here Paul, which could put me in a rather abstract position, but I'm looking for the conviction within as I read, and there was some interesting things The Lord showed me in many different texts, the Greek included (although the greek mainly witnesses to the background it was translated from). I don't have the knowledge of different languages as you Paul, but The Lord aims to utilize me in this manner, so I let Him open it up to me. Takes a lot of patience on my part but I don't find Him in any hurry.
Believe me, I have to be careful when I step out in front of folks such as yourself Paul with my convictions. Very easy for me to insert my foot in my mouth.
