Shlama,
well i know i read fairly quick, so i figured: 30 minutes? i can do that in 15!! lol
shoulda listened to Paul.....i can't get back those minutes <!-- s
hocked: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/shocked.gif" alt="hocked:" title="Shocked" /><!-- shocked: --> but you warned me <!-- s
--><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/sad.gif" alt="" title="Sad" /><!-- s -->
so, my assessment: nothing even remotely of weight argument-wise. i was really surprised at that, actually. i expected more from him, to be honest...
also, funnily enough, since he appeared to do a *thorough* job of speaking about modern translations from the Aramaic, i noticed he didn't make any mention (critical or positive) of Rick Wills' modern translation of the Matthew Peshitta at all. i wonder if it is because he hosts that particular translation on torahresource??
see <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.torahresource.com/Dutillet.html">http://www.torahresource.com/Dutillet.html</a><!-- m --> if you're interested (to be fair i haven't done any proper assessment of Mr. Wills' translation to offer a critique one way or the other, which may be the same for Mr. Hegg, although he trusts enough to put it on his site).
anyhow, i've seen far more educated attempts at refuting Aramaic Primacy (and failing) from the few-and-far-between posters that appear here, and some time back on biblescholarsforums.com... but Mr. Hegg's effort just felt rather elementary, and overtly snarky towards the end - a pity for one who should be trying for at least an amicable presentation.
