shlomo lkhoon aHay,
This has been a great thread and I'm enjoying it considerably.
I think from this discussion we have come out with some great proofs in support of the Peshitta:
-The use of "qudhsho" to mean "earrings", which is from the JPA. This shows that the Peshitta was written in the Jewish milieu of the 1st century adding further support.
-From two words we got parallelism in their primary use and secondary use, as well as the primary and secondary meaning being linked together in Jewish symbolism as shown by aHoon Andrew.
-Although "qudhsho" is usually an adjective in its primary use, it can also be used as a noun in its secondary use <= In Relation to Holy.
-I have to commend aHoon Paul for having found the true meaning for "qudhsho" in this context, by going to the other dialects of that time period.
-Here's what I mean by parallelism
In Aramaic | Primary Meaning | Secondary Meaning |
---------------------------------------------------------------------
qudhsho | Earrings (from JPA) | Holy Object |
margonyotho | Pearls | Holy relics |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-Also as aHoon Andrew has suggested this shows how the Greek/Latin made the mistake. They picked the secondary meaning on "qudhsho" and the primary meaning on "margonyotho"
-Also in relation to how this thread started, this shows that the Latin rendering of this verse could still have come from the Peshitta.
