Do you consider the Epic of Gilgamesh (Akkadian), or the Amarna Letters from Byblos (Canaanite), "Hebrew?"
I don't think you know Syriac, or Hebrew for that matter, particularly well at all. You sound like you're cutting and pasting from somewhere, or using someone else's ideas.
Do you think Hebrew popped up out of nowhere or something?
Pardon me. I should not have said "exclusively." The point is that it is not proper Aramaic.
I am largely copying from "A New Look at the Language Jesus Spoke." You are right about that.
