Book excerpt: This is an interlinear translation of The Aramaic Peshitta Old Testament books of Psalms, Proverbs & Ecclesiastes.Aramaic was the language of Jesus & of Israel since the 7th century BC. The Peshitta OT is very likely the 1st century Aramaic translation of the 1st century Hebrew Old Testament. In the 1st century AD, the Aramaic of Israel was called "Hebrew". Aramaic was used in Mel Gibson's film "The Passion of the Christ" to make the film as realistic & accurate as possible. This translation will surprise & thrill the reader with its power & inspiration coming from the 1st century Hebrew Bible translated into Aramaic, the sister language of Hebrew.
