I need some help in understanding the "original" source documents
for the Jewish Old Testament.
There is the Greek Septuagint translation of about 250 BC.
There is also the Aramaic version but I don't know it's history.
The Roman destruction of Jerusalem in 60 AD involved
the destruction of all written documents.
There is a Hebrew version that was constructed many years
after the destruction of Jerusalem that is currently used
by the Jews.
Did Jesus read from an Aramaic version or a Hebrew version?
Do Amercian Jews use a Hebrew Version or an Aramaic
version. They seem to use Aramaic terminology, such as
"barmitzva
I would appreciate clarification about these issues.
Sincerely,
Otto
