Aramaic Old Testament verses KJV/Hebrew O.T.
#3
Distazo,

Maybe I did not have all my facts in order. But I was under the impression that the Old Testament(Peshitta version) was the oldest and best. I received this understanding from a web-site ( See: Was The New Testament Really Written in Greek, by Raphael Lataster). You can see this at AramaicPeshitta.com and click to the web page that takes you to Lamsa's translation of the Old Testament. Here, Raphael Lataster states,

" The Peshitta Old Testament is the Aramaic version of a Hebrew OT version(older and superior to the current accepted MT[Mazoretic Text} version). The Lamsa Bible utilizes this."

So, here is a comment (an accepted fact I assume by Aramaic Primacists) that the Peshitta version of the OT is older [i][/i] than the MT Hebrew version.

Do you adhere to this and believe this is true??

But, and a big "but", I assume that the Peshitta OT(Aramaic translation) is a translation of a much older Mazoretic Text Hebrew source , and that is what Raphael may be talking about.

How does all this piece together??

Mike
