I have been studying Hebrew in block and pictograph form on my own. I am currently searching for a Hebrew text of the TANAK translated from the Aramaic Peshitta. I have considered trying to learn Aramaic, but it appears to be more difficult than Hebrew. I have heard that the Peshitta predates the Masoretic text, but I can not read Aramaic and I do not want an English translation of the Peshitta. I want a Hebrew translation of the Aramaic Peshitta. Learning Hebrew has truly opened the SCRIPTURES up in ways I never thought possible, but I want a purer text to work with. To many people have added and taken away from the SCRIPTURES, scribes and translators through the ages are guilty. Am I making sense? Can anyone help me in my search? If not, How can I learn Aramaic?
