HOLES IN LOGIC AND ERRORS IN FACT. ROTH IGNORES HISTORICAL AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE.
By Jerry D. Neal
I learned Aramaic in 1986 and studied Syriac in 1992. I have the British and Foreign Bible Society's 1966 New Testament and Psalms in Syriac, the 1979 Antiochian Complete Peshitta Bible (with the Apocrypha), the Nestorian New Testament and Psalms, the New Covenant Aramaic Peshitta Text with Hebrew Translation by the Bible Society in Jerusalem (without which Roth could never have done his book), as well as George M. Lamsa's Holy Bible from the Ancient Eastern Text and Janet Magiera's Aramaic Peshitta New Testament Translation.
I also owned the Aramaic and Hebrew texts in the Dead Sea Scrolls, had used the Peshitta for decades in Bible programs and listened to the Peshitta in mp3s on my phone. I had known Hebrew and Greek for decades and had spent 12 years studying the Dead Sea Scrolls and the history of the Second Temple period. The use of complicated multiple Syriac scripts was cumbersome, and the Bible Society in Jerusalem's text coupled with a parallel English translation seemed like a useful help.
However, this is not (although it claims to be) what Roth's book really is. Roth has taken the Bible Society's text and replaced it wherever possible by the readings of the Khabouris codex to produce what he calls a "critical edition." So the reader needs to know right off the bat that what he really reading here is the text of the Khabouris codex--and really not even so much that as Roth's interpretation of it.
When I got to Matthew 2, I knew enough Aramaic to know firsthand that Roth had mercilessly butchered the names in his translation of Matthew 1. In Matthew 2:3 I realized just how inaccurate Roth's translation technique is, for Roth's translation reads, "And Herodus, the king heard, and was troubled." That's it. I looked across the page and saw that the Aramaic text Roth printed continued wekhulah urishlem ameh "and all Jerusalem with him." Roth doesn't translate it.
This reading is in every Peshitta text I've ever seen, and it's even in Roth's text--but Roth doesn't even bother to translate it. This is what you call honest translation technique? Further, Herodus/Herodes, isn't an Aramaic name: it's a Greek name. Why, if the Aramaic is the original text, isn't Herod's name in Aramaic, even in Roth's translation?
Roth says the Khabouris Codex is dated by the colophon to 168 A.D. and is therefore our oldest manuscript of the New Testament. Really? What about the p52 manuscript of John from Egypt, which is carbon-14 dated to 125 and paleographically dated to 117? Of course, this is a Greek manuscript, so Roth ignores it--indicating a serious bias on his part.
A little searching on the internet revealed the colophon of the Khabouris codex doesn't claim to be written in 168 A.D. It claims the codex was written in the 9th century A.D.!
The colophon claims it is a copy of an earlier manuscript. That claim may not be genuine. Abraham Firkowitz was notorious in the 1800s for acquiring thousands of manuscripts from synagogues and forging their colophons in order to sell them to libraries and museums, claiming they were older than they actually were, in order to gain a higher price when they sold. No one in the 20th century dated a manuscript by its colophon.
The Khabouris codex was carbon-14 dated in 1995 by a team that included James Trimm, in order to reveal the real date of the manuscript. The tests revealed the Khabouris codex was written in the 12th century.
In 1999 the University of Arizona performed more carbon-14 tests on the Khabouris codex and confirmed the 12th-century date of the earlier tests.
Not only is the Khabouris codex a late and unremarkable Syriac manuscript with a colophon that is possibly forged, but it is actually later than almost all of the Greek manuscripts. Later than almost every one of them.
Roth has claimed the manuscript is from 168 A.D., omits the part of the colophon that says it's from the 9th century, and ignores carbon-14 tests confirming the 12th-century date of the Khabouris codex, done sixteen years before he published his book.
Roth has given a date for the Khabouris codex that is incorrect by more than a thousand years--and nowhere does he tell you that. There is evidence of this kind of handling of the facts on every page of the book.
Turn to the title page of the book of Acts. On the Aramaic side of the page in Roth's edition is the title Fraksiys diSheliycha. Fraksiys is not an Aramaic word. It's the Greek word PRAXIS, transliterated into Aramaic. It is not translated: it's the title of Acts in Greek--PRAXIS APOSTOLON, No one composing an original document in Aramaic would have used the word Fraksiys/PRAXIS. This means without any doubt that whoever wrote the Aramaic of the Peshitta had a Greek manuscript in front of him--that he was actually translating from Greek into Syriac.
The Khabouris codex is in Syriac, a dialect of Eastern Aramaic (as are both versions of the Peshitta). Nowhere does Roth tell us that this is not the dialect of Western Aramaic that Yeshua spoke--Palestinian Aramaic--a fact that confirms that the Peshitta is not the original text of the New Testament. The dialect of Yeshua was nearly identical with Qumran Aramaic--a Western Aramaic dialect.
Roth ignores Acts 6, which shows that a large number of Jews in the early Jerusalem church spoke Greek. All of the worshippers present on Pentecost came from areas that spoke either Greek or Aramaic.
He ignores the thrust of the narrative of Acts, in which the Aramaic names of disciples virtually disappear after Acts 5 (linguists use names as evidence of the language spoken in the home, which is how they know from Sumerian texts written about 2100 B.C. that Sumerian was a dead language and most people spoke Akkadian) and are replaced by Greek names.
He ignores the Roman Captain of the Temple Guard (with a Greek name) speaking Greek with Paul while arresting Paul in Acts 21:37. This man was in charge of a Greek-speaking fort in the Temple in Jerusalem itself which had been there for 235 years. He knew Paul spoke Greek because he spoke Greek himself and he heard Paul address him in Greek. This is why he suspects Paul might be the Egyptian--because Jews in Egypt spoke only Greek.
Yeshua had said in Acts 1:8 that the disciples were to take the gospel to "the ends of the earth." The disciples knew exactly what that meant, because when the Roman general Pompey conquered Jerusalem, Psalms of Solomon 8:16 described him as coming "from the ends of the earth." The disciples knew that meant they were taking the gospel to Rome, so the Messiah would conquer Rome with the gospel instead of military might.
So when Paul ends up in Rome at the end of Acts, this is not a surprise. And everyone knew the only language you could conquer Rome with the gospel in at that time was Greek, because everyone knew the Romans thought Hebrew and Aramaic were the languages of uncivilized barbarians. So the gospel going to Greek-speaking regions (which is the story from Acts 8 onward), had to be in Greek: the people to whom the message was going wouldn't have accepted it or preserved it at all if it wasn't.
An archaeological survey of Galilee by James Strange using tomb inscriptions, inscriptional evidence, potsherds, and coins revealed that in the 1st century Galilee Greek was widely spoken in both northern and southern Galilee, more especially so in the south in the area of Nazareth, which was only 5 miles from the Greek capitol and 5 miles from Samaria.
The Dead Sea Scrolls revealed that in Judea there were in the most remote areas still Jews who could speak Greek, because even the Hebrew-loving Essenes had Greek manuscripts. There 30 Greek-speaking cities on Israelite soil in the 1st century, mostly in Galilee and the Decapolis, which had been entirely Greek only 100 years before, and by the end of the 1st century Greek-speaking powers had ruled Judea for 420 years. The 6th-century Greek version of Psalms by Aquila found in the Cairo Geniza of the 11th-century Jewish synagogue proves that Jews continued to use Greek until the rise of Mohammed.
And what about Paul's speech at Athens in Greek in Greece itself in Acts 17? What about Paul's missionary work at Corinth and trial before Gallio in Acts 18? The sign above the door of the Corinthian synagogue, next door to the church, where Paul preached, has been found, and it reads: Synagoge 'Ebraion. The sign above the door of the synagogue in Corinth, which we know from Acts 18:4-8 that Paul preached in, has been found, and it is in Greek.
It's quite clear in Acts that after the rejection of their message by the Jews in Jerusalem surrounding the death of Stephen, the believers in Yeshua concentrated their evangelistic efforts on gentile converts in Greek-speaking regions, who because of Roman and Greek prejudice wouldn't learn Aramaic or Hebrew or even touch such a text with a ten-foot mezuzah.
Scholars have repeatedly pointed out that because the Romans administered Judea in Greek that Yeshua would have spoken Greek to the Roman centurion in Matthew 8:9-13 and Luke 7:2-10. Yeshua would have spoken Greek to the Syro-Phoenician woman in Matthew 15:24, 26, 28; Mark 7:27, 29. Yeshua would have spoken Greek to the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate, in Matthew 27:11; Mark 15:1-2; Luke 23:3; and John 18:34, 36-37; 19:11.
Because Gadara and Gerasa were Greek-speaking cities of the Decapolis, Yeshua would have spoken Greek to the Gadarenes/Gerasenes in Matthew 8:28-34; Mark 5:1-20; Luke 8:26-39. Yeshua grew up in Nazareth, only 5 miles from the Greek capital of Sepphoris, and was probably employed as a carpenter in its construction, so Yeshua speaking Greek isn't a historical stretch. He also spoke Aramaic, which isn't a stretch either.
Paul would have spoken Greek to the men of Athens on Acts 17:16-34. Paul would have spoken Greek to the Roman authorities in Acts 13:4-12;16:16-17:9; 18:12-17; 19:23-41; 21:31-39; 22:24-28; 23:16-17; 24:10-21, 25; 25:8-12;26:1-32; 27:10, and from then on Paul speaks Greek in Acts.
This is how far Roth has veered away from the actual statements of scripture, which demonstrates everywhere a marked theological bias, as does his replacement everywhere of the Aramaic Mar ("Lord") with YHWH.
Not only were the Jews in Israel using Greek in the first century, but Jews everywhere continued to use Greek until the Moslem conquest in the 6th century, as evidenced by the 6th-century Greek version of Psalms by Aquila found in the Geniza of the 11th-century Jewish synagogue in Cairo.
Julius Africanus spent time with the relatives of Yeshua in Galilee, and he says that James and Joses evangelized the cities of the Decapolis. Since these were Greek cities and Damascus was one of them, this means that a Greek version of his words and deeds was made by Yeshua's own brothers even before the conversion of Paul.
The so-called "greek translation" was not made centuries later by the church (only two people in 1400 years could have done it--Origen and Jerome--neither of whom is credited with it), but at the earliest date after Yeshua's death by those closest to him and knew him best, whose primary language was Aramaic, but whose secondary language--in which they wrote it down--was Greek, in response to the need for Greek evangelism for the church to survive at all.
This means Aramaic author and the Greek "translator" were not different persons--they were the same person. And this is exactly what Greek scholars have been claiming for 150 years. The "greek translators" of the third and fourth centuries that people talk about are straw men--they simply never existed, because no one existed in the Western church from 130 A.D to 1400 A.D., who could read Hebrew and Aramaic, and there was no one in the West who could even read or speak Greek during that time. No one was capable of doing such a thing, except Origen and Jerome. And we know they didn't.
We have manuscripts in Greek by Jews from Qumran, Masada, and the Bar Kochba caves (including Babatha's legal archives in Greek and even a letter from the commander of the Jewish army, Bar Kochba himself, in Greek).
Roth does not mention that as a tax collector, an employee of the Roman government, that Matthew would have been expected to keep meticulous records of who paid what, in Greek. Matthew would have had to have been fluent in Greek, because the Romans could not and would read documents in Aramaic or Hebrew.
Roth does not mention the archaeological evidence for Greek trade with Judea in the 7th century B.C., nor the 6th-century B.C. inscriptions of the Jewish commander of Mesad Hashavyahu of daily food ration-lists or a contingent of Greek soldiers in his command--soldiers that somebody had to communicate in Greek with--as the Babylonian army of Nebuchadnezzar approached Jerusalem--Greek soldiers who died in the ensuing battle.
Roth neglects to mention how few Aramaic words Yeshua actually speaks. Three sentences consisting of six words, plus a name, for a total of seven words, mostly spoken in northern Galilee. That's really no evidence that he spoke Aramaic at all on any other occasion. This may have been the only time he spoke it, and that may be why it was recorded. And the inscription on the cross was in three languages, not one.
All that we really know from the New Testament is that Yeshua's language, whatever it was on whatever occasion, was not considered unusual by his contemporaries. Roth neglects to mention that all the place names and expressions mentioned by John in his gospel as "in Hebrew" are all in Aramaic, and that all the place names and expressions mentioned by the same John in Revelation as "in Hebrew" actually are in Hebrew. So if John wrote in Aramaic, why is he using Hebrew?
Some of Roth's Aramaic isn't even Aramaic. In his analysis of Mark 3:17, Roth insists that the name "Boanerges" is proof that the New Testament was written in Aramaic and not Greek because the true name "Bnay Ragshee" has been corrupted from the original Aramaic. The problem is, this assumes the Aramaic word for "son" is Ben. But the Aramaic word for "Son" is "Bar," not "Ben," and it is the word always used in the New Testament. Bnay Ragshee is Beney Ragesh. It is not Aramaic: it is Hebrew, and Yeshua speaking Hebrew in this instance blows Roth's theory away. But when you consider that Greek and Aramaic were widely used and the authors of the New Testament spoke both (and possibly Hebrew was spoken too), Roth's "problem" of inner-semitic corruptions disappears. Getting Bnay Ragshee to mean "sons of thunder" is quite a stretch, as a glance at Kohler-Baumgartner or Jastrow will demonstrate. Regesh is a good Biblical Hebrew word, but the derived meaning "to thunder" comes from Arabic! I open A. T Robertson's Greek Grammar and find him openly admitting the linguistic influence of Aramaic and Hebrew on the Greek text and even giving the exact same derivation of Boanerges as I have--the Hebrew Beney Regesh--one hundred years ago.
Roth ignores all of the historical and archaeological evidence. By ignoring the carbon-14 confirmed real 12th-century date of the Khabouris codex and claiming a date of 168 A.D., Roth has shown the holes in his logic and historical facts: holes that are big enough to drive the Titanic through.
A person really interested in the real truth about the Semitic background of the New Testament would be much better served by reading the reprint of Joseph A. Fitzmyer's (of Dead Sea Scrolls fame) The Semitic Background of the New Testament (which also includes his book of Aramaic essays, A Wandering Aramean). It's far more accurate.
It is admirable that someone would want to replace the "church history" of the church with something more accurate and reliable, because much of what passes for the "true history" in our churches is nothing more than a myth. But we have to make sure we have facts that will withstand scrutiny hundreds of years from now, because the biggest danger is that we will create our own mythical history by replacing the real facts with what we want to hear.
Roth distrusts the Western Christian tradition except when it suits him; it never occurs to him that the Syriac Christian tradition also might have made the same kind of errors.
By ignoring the carbon-14 confirmed real 12th-century date of the Khabouris codex and claiming a date of 168 A.D., Roth has missed the true date of his own manuscript, the basis of his own edition, by more than a thousand years. Unfortunately, that's typical of his approach.

Great Bible
By AB
This large print Aramaic New Testament really gives us a different perspective. You would be surprised to see the differences in this version and the NIV Bibles. This Bible goes straight from the original language to English, instead of being translated from Aramaic to Greek to Latin to Olde Elnglish to Modern English. Such a difference!!!

Best Bible Ever
By Clint S. Clements
This Bible is translated from the Aramaic by Andrew Roth a Greek and Hebrew,Aramaic scholar.All the mistakes make in the King James are made right here. The left side of the Bible is in English and the right in Hebrew. There are two Dvd's that accompany this Bible both available here on Amazon showing and teaching where and how the Bible came about. I can not speak for everyone cause everyone can not be pleased, especially those who think they are wiser than everyone else. As for myself i love it. If you buy it, read it before you throw a fit and throw dirt in the air. ( There are also footnotes on almost every page).
