book of Hebrews: better from Greek, or Aramaic?
#9
"it was likely in Greek (that was the language of his time and place)"
What language is: "Talitha koum"? "Haqel Dama"?
Mark 5:41 (The Passion Translation)
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?se...ersion=TPT
He tenderly clasped the child’s hand in his and said to her in Aramaic, “Talitha koum,”[a] which means, “Little girl, wake up from the sleep of death.”
Footnotes: One of the many references in the New Testament proving that the language of Jesus was Aramaic.

Acts 1:19 (TPT)
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?se...ersion=TPT
Everyone in Jerusalem knows what happened to him. That’s why the field where he died is called in Aramaic[a] ‘Haqel Dama,’ that is, ‘The Bloody Field.’
Footnotes: Or “in the language of the region.” The Greek text is clear that the Jews of Jesus’ day spoke Aramaic, the language that Jesus and his apostles taught in. The Greek text transliterates the name of the field into a Greek equivalent for a Greek audience.
