Where is Roth?

[Paul Younan]

... but the Matthew 21:4 passage is interesting because I thought Paul was translating from the Peshitta, not the UBS.

Akhay,

A bit of clarification (those who've been around since the old forum days might already know this.)

When I create an Interlinear chapter, the steps I follow are:

(a) In the Tools -> Word Docs link in the menu, you will find the Word documents for all of the 22 books according to the canon. The reason for this is, quite frankly, they were available online and easily converted to English letters using an automated program I wrote. The Word documents reflect the UBS text, because the Society created the underlying data. This saved me the massive task of starting from scratch and typing each Aramaic word individually.

(b) I copy an entire chapter and convert the font to Estrangelo using another special program I wrote, to have as the basis of the Aramaic text.

© I go word-by-word and compare it to the printed "little red book" that is the standard text used by the Church of the East, based on the eastern readings. Any differences in the UBS text are (if I don't miss something) corrected to conform to the eastern reading.

(d) I translate each Aramaic word into the English.

The "little red book" does indeed contain the eastern reading, and this was a miss on my part. The fact that it's also in Andrew's version reflects that he used this interlinear as a source.

I've said this before, but please keep in mind this is a work-in-progress and this isn't the first mistake or last mistake. One of the pitfalls of having only one set of eyes on this project. <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s -->
