Hey Dave,
I'm doing isolation duty here at Diego Garcia, working on a new BOS Contract for the next 6 or 7 years. I'll retire here from the Navy in the next year so, no more sea time for me. But, I'm doing really well here. I spent some time looking around sites and such about Hebrew. I haven't made up my mind on what to utilize on the learning of this. I think your idea of a synagogue has the most merit. For me, it would seem better to have a direct teacher on this.
Hmmm, I would have to disagree bro. Unless you actually try a translated text to test the results up against the peshitta, than you have no "true" test on this. You gotta remember, a big majority,....nothing small here,...a BIG majority of the scholars believe that this text is a translation from the greek. And the condensed aspect of this goes against all the older western witnesses and church father quotes. My conclusions are in agreement with the majority on this.
Now that I know that there has been a translation into Hebrew from the greek, I could easily say "Hey, someone translated the greek into Hebrew before, what's not to say that this was done with the aramaic?"
It is an area of concern and should be explored. If the text has merit, then it will prove itself.

Quote:War and Peace is a Hebrew translation of the Russian novel by Leo Tolstoy. It is only a section of it, cut down to match the length of the Hebrew Torah (304,805 letters). It would serve as a good control text by which to compare results in a translated Hebrew text with the results in the Hebrew and Aramaic scriptures,including The Peshitta.
