Rafa,
Okay, thank-you. I did read some information from this web-site and even under the heading you mentioned(Ancient Bible Versions or something similar) and yes, he does state that some books of the OT Tanakh were written in Aramaic; for sure Ezra and Nehemiah and a good chance possibly others also.
But I am still wanting to know if the Lamsa OT Translation online(2 or 3 web-sites have this Lamsa OT Tanakh in English) is a pretty accurate or in the "ballpark" translation of the OT Tanakh in English - maybe not with the"wooden" or word for word translation that Yaaqab would give but -
Is Lamsa's OT translation into English reflect a pretty close (reasonably speaking) translation from the Aramaicist point of view?? Someone here should be able to know this to a close range of accuracy. Tks.
Rafa, Thank you for your time and for your response. I plan to read a good amount from that web-site. Take care.
Cordially,
Mike Karoules
