The Age of the Peshitta
#20
Coupla' things and I don't know if I'll be able to get all of it posted today.

The Esteemed PY stated:

"Really, it's the "Syriac" speaking Jews of Arbela, Edessa, Harran, Adiabene and Babylon they went to evangelize first.
Assyrians, Chaldeans and Arameans in those areas just happened to speak the same dialect as their Jewish neighbors. And that's true to this very day. There are many "Syriac" speaking Jews in Israel today."

Please see Josephus, Antiquities, 20, 2, 4 (in part):

"So the king at that time complied with these persuasions of Ananias. But afterwards, as he had not quite left off his desire of doing this thing, a certain other Jew that came out of Galilee, whose name was Eleazar, and who was esteemed very skillful in the learning of his country, persuaded him to do the thing; for as he entered into his palace to salute him, and found him reading the law of Moses..."

This King is Izates, whose mother was known Helena of Adiabene. (Wiki-P:See "Adiabene")

This "Eleazar" that Josephus refers to comes from "The House of Eleazar", 1 Chronicles 24. The Hasmoneans trace their dynasty from this Patriarch. Many are found in "Meiron". Members of the Mishmarot Service Group "Immer" live in a settlement nearby, in Upper Galilee, named "Jabnit".

NOW: konway87 states:

"I believe they were able to keep a uniformity even during yearly feasts in Jerusalem."

You are correct but there is something very important here. It is the "Mishmarot Service" or "Courses". People did not just show up for Passover with some "Guest Host" performing sacrifices. The Temple Service is ORDERED and "Eleazar" and "Ithamar" provide the Temple Priests. Eisenman and Wise, in Dead Sea Scrolls Uncovered, analyze the Courses as a check on the various Calendars (Solar and Luni-Solar) in use and the Qumran Group is waiting for the day when they can impose their Solar Calendar on Jerusalem. You think language was important to these people? Most certainly.

One more quote here, when Jesus tells everyone that he was sent to the "Lost Sheep of the House of Israel". This is a puzzle to many but it should not be.

Which brings us to Revelation 5: 10 (RSV):

[10] and hast made them a kingdom and priests to our God,
and they shall reign on earth...

So, we have an important Priestly contingent keeping Festivals in Jerusalem where it is important to keep The Language pure as well as the Sacrifices. The Priests ARE proselytizing in Upper Galilee in various Assyrian conclaves. All this, however works both ways:

Matthew 26: 69 and 73 (RSV):

[69] Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. And a maid came up to him, and said, "You also were with Jesus the Galilean."
...
[73] After a little while the bystanders came up and said to Peter, "Certainly you are also one of them, for your accent betrays you."

Hope this helps.

PS: The listing for the Wiki-P bit on "Adiabene" had language fonts that tied up the Post Machine in knots. I took out the various words and it posted. You can go to Wiki-P and see what's there. It's not completely necessary for the argument.
