Revelation 1:13
#6
Paul Younan Wrote:Yup - that's definitely not an Aramaic word. Looks like a transliteration of a Hebrew word, not a loan-word ( the loan-word is [font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]Fdp[/font] )

Maybe the Peshitto Revelation (made by Thomas of Harkel~Philoxenus of Mabbug) was translated from a Hebrew source text rather than a Greek one.

The simpler answer is that, when the Syriac Orthodox Church translated the Greek text, they felt free to insert a transliterated Hebrew word, rather than a straight translation, as is often done in various modern Messianic versions of the NT even by people who hold to Greek primacy. There are no Semitic originals of the Western Five, because if there were:

1. They would have been included in the Peshitta.
2. Those books would not have been so hotly disputed even in the West.
3. God would not have let the originals become lost.
