Luke 7:35 - "Justified by her ???"

[Stephen Silver]

Greetings Stephen,

I'm now looking at your apostles' list example. It appears that CAL has two different entries for the word, and it seems to affirm that the Matthew account should read "Simon the Canaanite" instead of "zealous."

qnny adj. Canaanite

1 Canaanite CPA, Syr. P Mt10:4 : Simeon the Cananean.

Do you have any idea why CAL would uphold the reading of "Simon the Canaanite" (with no secondary meanings for "zealous")? Thanks so much.

Thomas

Shlama Akhi Thomas:
That's simple. CAL (Comprehensive Aramaic Lexicon) is an Aramaic Dictionary. Look up "zealot" in any Hebrew Lexicon.

BTW Codex Ambrosiano (Aramaic Peshitta AN'K) uses the word "tanana" in Zechariah 8:2 as the translation of "qin'a". Please take the time to go back and re-read my original post under "Primacy Proofs Refuted (Six and counting)" on "the four lists of the Apostles".

Shlama,
Stephen
