A word if I may

[gbausc]

Yes Raymond,

Well, almost, you see, The Old Testament verse with "Sepharad" is in The Hebrew Bible, not The Peshitta. The Old Testament Peshitta for that same verse - Obadiah 1:20- has the word "Espania" for the Hebrew word "Sepharad".
So The Peshitta uses "Espania" ("Spain")for "Sepharad" in Obadiah 1:20 and also uses "Espania" in The NT at Romans 15:24 and also at Romans 15:28 .


And now I dub thee, "Sir Raymond of the high and holy order of The Sepharad";
Go and bear these tidings far and wide ,that very few have ever known.

Amen and Amen.

All kidding aside, this has been quite a learning experience for me. I never knew that there were Jews exiled to Spain over two thousand years ago, and that they live there to this day and have migrated to Turkey, Italy, and other countries from there. There is quite a bit of history on them to be found on the internet by searching "Sepharad" on Google.com


Blessings,
