Lord and God

[Paul Younan]

And as Paul Younan has pointed out to us MANY TIMES, Aramaic IS a kind of Hebrew (and vice versa).

And it shall be, when thou art come in unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and dost possess it, and dwell therein.....that thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which thou shalt bring in from thy land that the LORD thy God giveth thee; and thou shalt put it in a basket and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to cause His name to dwell there.........and thou shalt come unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say unto him: 'I profess this day unto the LORD thy God, that I am come unto the land which the LORD swore unto our fathers to give us.'............And the priest shall take the basket out of thy hand, and set it down before the altar of the LORD thy God.........And thou shalt speak and say before the LORD thy God: 'A wandering Aramean was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there, few in number; and he became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous.

(Deuteronomy Chapter 26:1-5)

"My ancestors were starving Arameans." The person bringing the first fruits to the Temple in Jerusalem remembers the shame of the famine that led his ancestor Jacob and the Jewish people into slavery in Egypt. (Rabbi Roy Tanenbaum, Congregation Beth Tzedec, Toronto)

Aramaic = Hebrew = Aramaic
