Thirdwoe Wrote:Also, he decides how often to insert YHVH into the text, where The Aramaic Text has Marya, or Alaha...which he believes were substitutes for the Tetragramaton both in the 1st Aramaic Manuscripts, and in the 1st Greek Manuscripts. So, he chooses which places this should be reversed.Again if the Greek texts where superior to the Aramaic then this could be a justified Hebraic Roots restoration of the text. But all evidence is to the contrary.
Thirdwoe Wrote:I can't recommend this revision of Etheridge's and Murdoch's translation. Too much Lonnie at work here and not enough of The Aramaic Scriptures speaking what they really say.
Anther so-called Aramaic version muddying the waters. Oh for the day unto a pure English translation of the Eastern Aramaic Peshitta.
