Aramaic Primacy proved by computer word analysis

Brothers,


I hope more will check this out and comment. If you don't understand it, let me know and I'll try to simplify and explain it.


I believe the link :

reveals a method which conclusively proves that The Peshitta is the original and The Greek NT is a translation of it. It uses the Hebrew Old Testament- LXX model of original-translation by which to compare The Peshitta-Greek NT.
The ratios consistently support the same above conclusion !

These are not codes; they are merely word-pair studies done with
MS Word and Online Bible with Hebrew OT, Peshitta NT, LXX, Greek NT (Byzantine and Westcott & Hort), as well as Latin Vulgate.

Online Bible can search phrases or word combinations in any of the above versions and list all the verses along with as many parallel versions as I like.
I paste these search lists of verses into MS Word; MS Word can give statistics for each word I want totals for. I did a search for all occurrences of Ihsous in Greek, for example,listing all the verses in Greek and Aramaic parallel to each other;obtained total for the Greek word in MS Word and corresponding total for Aramaic "Yeshua" . I divide the latter into the former.The result is 96%.

Then I did the same in reverse; Searching all occurrences of "Yeshua" and listing all verses along with the Greek parallels at the same time. Word finds the total for the number of "Yeshua"; I then find the number of Greek Ihsous in the same list of verses which correspond to Yeshua and match up in those verses to the Aramaic. I divide the latter (Greek) into the former (Aramaic);
The result is 63%.

This is the pattern for an Aramaic original. It matches consistently with the Hebrew OT-LXX model. Since the Greek words are derived from the Aramaic text, it makes sense that a higher percentage of these will be matched to the Aramaic equivalent than the reverse.

The Aramaic does not derive from the Greek, therefore when I do a search of all occurrences of an Aramaic word and list all the parallel and corresponding Greek words, the ratio of corresponding Greek to the total Aramaic occurrences is lower.

This pattern holds consistently for large numbers of words- usually over 100 in a search. All forms of a word must be included, so it is important to know the language roots, proclitics, enclitics, Greek declensions,conjugations and irregular forms well.

I hope to get Dean Dana's attention soon so I can publish this monumental discovery, along with the codes !,[font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]0hl0l 0txwb$t[/font]


P.S. : Check out my Aramaic Bible Codes forum. I have new links there on the codes experiment and another on the above study.
