I'll take a stab at it Akhi, so you can have a look before a better translator helps you out. I'll be glad when Paul has gone through Hebrews, but being the last book, that may take years <!-- s

"Can someone help me with a Peshitta translation of Hebrews 7:3-6? "
Hebrews 7:3-6
Neither his father nor mother is written in the genaolgies, nor the beginning of his day, nor end of his life, but like the Son of God, his priesthood remains forever. See how great this man was, when even Abraham gave him tithes and fristfruits. For they are the sons of Levi, of the priesthood as per the law, they take tithes from the people, from their brothers, when they also come from Abraham. But this man who is not recorded in genealogies, even took tithes from Abraham and blessed him who received promises.
" am also interested in the Peshitta reading of Acts 20:28 vs. the Greek readings. Any help with this would be appreciated as well.
"
I think I see what you're getting at. Is it "of God", or "of Christ"? It is Christ! So says the Peshitta. Who elses blood would it be... Forget what the Peshitto and Greek says, when they all say "God".
"(p.s. I would also be interested in discussing with anyone their concepts of who this Melchi-tzedek is in the scriptures...and why you think what you think)."
Even though the Aramaic doesn't say like KJV that he had no parents, beginning, end etc I still think it says so. Why was none of this info recorded? Because maybe it didn't exist... I personally think he was a manifestation of God, a type of "Jesus".
