[quote=" THEN, we have James writing to the twelve tribes abroad. They all spoke one language assumably. Was it the language of Greek? Or the Semitic language of Aramaic. Well let us look at the facts. The Israelites continued to use Aramaic after the various dispersions, as Aramaic inscriptions are found even in Britain... The Talmud - Aramaic... James - full of Aramaicisms. Clearly the twelve tribes were Aramaic-speakers. Still from way back when they were in captivity by the Assyrians.

Thats a really good point and thing to remember! And if you study that history, it should be a reminder of that there were lots of Jews left over in Babylon and the far east up and down the Indian and Chinese silk and spice roads.
