Paul,
Thanks! Now, I won't concede that Hebrew was completely dead in those days (unlike Akkadian), considering the Tanakh was/is still read; however, I enjoyed your post. Are there other scriptural references like the one you noted where Aramaic is referred to as "Hebrew" or is Yukhanan 19:13 the singular occurrence?
Shukran jazeelan!
