The First Century Aramaic Bible in Plain English-The Major Prophets (Isaiah to Daniel)

This is a modern English translation of the 1900+ year old Aramaic Old Testament called the Peshitta. Aramaic was the native language of Jesus and of Israel in the 1st century AD. This volume contains the Major Prophets: Isaiah Jeremiah Lamentations Ezekiel Daniel. The text translated is the 6th-7th century Codex Ambrosianus- the oldest complete Semitic Old Testament extant. The Peshitta Old Testament was very likely translated from the Hebrew Bible in the 1st century AD in Israel by Christian converts from Judaism or possibly Syrian Christians from across Israels border. Either way the Peshitta Old and New Testaments together constitute the first Christian Bible. The author has translated and published interlinears of the complete Aramaic Peshitta Old Testament as well as the entire Aramaic-Peshitta New Testament and plain English translations of the NT the Torah the Psalms & Proverbs. 6x9 hardback 209 pages
