The Torah
#20
I just want to know what it says and doesn't say. I also have been working on a list of all the variants that are in the Greek text families and checking those against the Peshitta/Peshitto text...so far, from the Gospels to the book of Galatians the Peshitta agrees with the Byzantine text about 85% of the time, I knew this was so from others statements, but wanted to see which places for myself, as I can't find a list anywhere.

As I noticed, the Eastern Aramaic text seems not to be from any of the Greek text families, as it has numerous agreements with each of them, the Byzantine, Egyptian, and Western text being the three main ones. The Eastern Peshitta text is static for the most part in its hundreds of Ms., while the Greek Ms. texts are found to be fluid, with what looks to be revisions after revisions going on.

If the Eastern Peshitta text was a translation of the Greek text, (I don't believe so) it would have had to either be translated from at least 3 conflicting Greek Ms., or it was translated into Aramaic from the 1st copies in Apostolic times, and stayed the same since then, while the Greek copies were altered here and there and developed families of like texts through the centuries.

The Greeks kept revising their texts, as the English keep revising their translations...all the while The Eastern Peshitta text has remained the same for all this time...not counting the Western revision of it, which is not actually The Peshitta. Just like when they revised the King James Version text, they called it "the revised version", then later some thought to update the English and change a few things around, and they called it The New King James Version.

Shlama,
Chuck
