Re: The New Testament Peshitta

What is your view on the word "Gabbatha"? It is given as "Hebrew" (as is "Golgotha") though Teeple states that it is Aramaic ... CW Aramaic names and loan-words would easily come into Hebrew. *** David Rivin (“Hebraisms in the Now Testament," in Encyclopedia of He...

Matthew => Hebrews

Hello everyone -- Esteemed Poster RGPrice has commented on Hebrews with a Matthean Flavor and it has brought out some thoughts on the matter (RGP Post edited): 1) There was a real Gospel of the Hebrews and it was written in Aramaic. 2) There was no such thing as a Gospel of the Hebrews written in Ar...

Re: Meaning of Nazareth?

No. Non starter. OK. then, will you take a few moments to map out your positions explicitly? Explain the Texts and especially how it relates to your Objections to what I assert? Word Endings and their changes in this period appear to require decades of study. Tell us what you see. Maybe look up Rub...

Re: Meaning of Nazareth?

SG - Back on the Front Lines again. Found this: https://www.chaimbentorah.com/2015/01/word-study-nazarene-%D7%A0%D7%A6%D7%A8/ Does this give an accurate summary of what you assert? (Realizing that you don't have to AGREE with everything in the article, just the "Good Stuff"...) Lemme know,...

Re: Meaning of Nazareth?

Diacritics such as dots and other pointing (niqqud) are important, afaik. Yes, of course. However, the use of DIACRITICALS IS LATER. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niqqud This provides more evidence of the Roman Rewrite. "Immar" is "Lamb" and "Immer" is the 16th Mishmar...

Re: Meaning of Nazareth?

I, SG, have read many posts by CW, and I have not found the slightest bit of evidence in them for the above-proposed sources of "rewrites." ...And I, CW, fully accept that statement with great sorrow. You state, however, that you have read many Posts written by me. Have you read the Posts...

Re: Meaning of Nazareth?

And 'na·ṣar'/natsar/ - נָצַר - means "to watch" (c.f. 'netser', said to mean "branch"); hence 'Natsarith' means watchtower, and 'Natsarim' are 'watchmen' As usual, MrMacSon, your arguments are well reasoned. Consider: Mark 13: 33 - 37 (RSV): [33] Take heed, watch; for you do not...

Re: Meaning of Nazareth?

CW, these are separate locations of the 24 mishmarot, but their relevance here is not clear. https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/mishmarot-ma-amadot Talmudic Data : As the priests were numerous and scattered throughout Palestine, it was impossible for all of them to officiate at the same time.

Re: The opening of Mark really Marcion's?

More scholarly citations are available, if you are open to them. OK. That's History and I don't disagree at all. In fact, it's interesting to follow how Judaism survived at all after 70. I've focused on Zakkai and a few others on this subject but there were other alternatives offered I agree with w...
