ARAMAIC

For Bible study, I recommend that you learn the New Testament Greek first, then the LXX1. You can study the Hebrew Old Testament2 along with it and analyze the variations at the same time (margins and apparatus3). The Latin is also useful. Then, adding Aramaic should help to give you a real good set of tools for textual criticism.

You are welcome to use the Aramaic forum when I get it finished. Just for basic theological thought I will add a link to our reproof of the Hebrew-only doctrine and community principles.

The following are Aramaic study-related sites:
