Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Grammar of the Chaldee Language: As Contained in the Bible and the Targums
It may be added, that in all probability the vernacular language of the writers of the New Testament was the Chaldee, or a dialect very similar to it and consequently that its idioms and modes of thought must have had an important in?uence upon the manner in which they employed the Greek language. Not a few of those peculiarities which distinguish the Greek of the New Testament, are decidedly Aramaean rather than Hebrew and hence without a knowledge of the Chaldee, we SW be wanting in some of the means necessary for enabling us to interpret critically even the Gospels and the writings of the Apostles.
