James 4:12 ALL Israelites spoke Aramaic!!!

Please help me, for I am addicted. My split word obsession is overtaking my life <!-- sSad --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/sad.gif" alt="Sad" title="Sad" /><!-- sSad -->

This example is really important, because James was written to the 12 tribes, and even though they were SCATTERED, we see that they all still spoke ARamaic:

Some Greek say neighber, some say another. Peshitta says:

qryb A
1 Palestinian,Syr near
2 Syr other, neighbor
3 ImpArEg,JLATg,Syr relative
4 Syr present
5 Syr prepared for
6 Syr adv near day
7 Syr qariyb mA))% almost

Way to go! Nice one akh! James 4:12 (or as they say Yaqub 4:12), would be an example where Greek primacists would have an EXTREMELY HARD TIME trying to convince anyone that this was either a copyist error either by written or oral tradition (dictation error)!!!!

t??n œteron (the other) versus pljs??on ([thy] neighbor)

I am not taking sides here but...

But why wouldn't you regard _qryb_ as a perfectly reasonable rendering of _plesion_? The apparatus of NA 27 cites all extant Syriac mss as evidence for _plesion_ as the original reading.

I think you miss the point. The point is that some Greek texts say X and some say Y. And when the Peshitta says Z, which can mean BOTH X and Y, that indicates that both Greek families are different translations from the Peshitta.
