Shlama Akhi Dave,
The evidence you give is arbitrary and unreliable, and let me explain why:
Your approach involves two critical errors in textual study:
(1) You fail for either example to show *how* the mistranslation from Hebrew happened....I mean to give a detailed explanation behind the grammatics of how the error occured....therefore,
(2) The reasoning behind your argument is arbitrarily reflecting a reading preferred by yourself.
That is, of course, begging the question.
When I give examples, I am very careful to be very very specific about what exactly happened, grammatically speaking. I make a case about what mistake happened, exactly.
You need to do the same here if you want to show a mistranslation on the Aramaic side, from either Greek or from Hebrew.
