*Isa 28:15 — The Overflowing That Rows Across* Complete translation, as I now see it: *ki amartem karatnu brit et-mavet ve-im Sheol asinu chozeh shot shoteph ki ya'avor lo yevo'enu ki samnu chazav machsenu uva-sheker nistarenu [כִּי אֲמַרְתֶּם כָּרַתְנוּ בְרִית אֶת־מָוֶת וְעִם־שְׁאוֹל עָשִׂינוּ חֹזֶה שׁוֹט שׁוֹטֵף כִּי־יַעֲבֹר לֹא יְבוֹאֵנוּ כִּי שַׂמְנוּ כָזָב מַחְסֵנוּ וּבַשֶּׁקֶר נִסְתָּרְנוּ]* "For you have said, We have cut a covenant with Death, and with Sheol we have made a pact — *shot shoteph ki ya'avor [שׁוֹט שׁוֹטֵף כִּי־יַעֲבֹר]* — the overflowing that rows across when it passes over — shall not come to us, for we have made lies our refuge and in falsehood we have hidden ourselves." Not "overflowing scourge." A whip does not overflow. A river does. *shot [שׁוֹט]* — Strongs 7751 *shut [שׁוּט]* — to row, to rove, to go about — the oar — *shayit [שַׁיִט]* — *meshot [מְשׁוֹט]* — oar *shoteph [שׁוֹטֵף]* — Strongs 7857 *shataph [שָׁטַף]* — to...

*Anshei Latzon and the Two Tongues* When I see *latzon in Isa 28:14 [לָצוֹן]* I think of *lashon [לָשׁוֹן]*. Tongue, to speak. Even though the root here is *l-w-ts [ל־ו־צ]* — to mouth at. Either in scorn, Or as Ambassador. To squeeze in, crowd, afflict as in LXX is hard to see. But this seems to back what Isaiah is doing. The leaders are mocking. And of course they will mock 28:9-12. As they mock a correct understanding of God's word which differs from their agenda and perhaps, false hope. Hope which escapes judgment. *The Dual Nature of the Tongue* *lutz [לוץ]* has two faces. Same mouth. Same tongue thrust between. To scoff — *letz [לֵץ]* — to push your tongue out at the word. To mediate — *melitz [מֵלִיץ]* — to push your tongue in as interpreter between. Both are *lutz [לוץ]*. The difference is heart. And Isaiah gives us two tongues in the same chapter — and most translations hide it by saying "tongue of strangers." *For a dividing, refreshing margea [מַרְגֵּ...

### *Isa 28:9-13 — Not Mocking. Feeding. And The Divider Who Divides Mockers.* *Everyone says Isa 28:10 — tsav latsav qav laqav — is drunk priests mocking Isaiah: "blah blah blah."* *Wrong. Read v9.* #### *V9 — Who Will He Teach?* *Transliteration: Et mi yoreh de'ah w'et mi yavin shemu'ah gemulei mechalav atiqei meshadaim.* *Hebrew ( את מי יורה דעה ואת מי יבין שמועה גמולי מחלב עתיקי משדים )* *Translation: Whom will He teach knowledge? And whom will He make to understand message? Those weaned from milk, drawn from breasts.* *This is not priests mocking. This is GOD'S school. Weaned = not babies. Grown enough to eat meat. Not milk.* *How does He feed weaned ones?* #### *V10 — His Method — Not Their Mock* *Your Eastern Peshitta from Bauscher — and MT:* *Transliteration: Ki tsav latsav tsav latsav qav laqav qav laqav ze'er sham ze'er sham.* *Hebrew ( כי צו לצו צו לצו קו לקו קו לקו זעיר שם זעיר שם )* *Eastern Peshitta Bauscher reading: Tabta a...

### *Siyga ( סיגא / ܣܝܓܐ ) — The Fence Paul Destroyed — Eph 2:14 and Col 2:14* *English Bibles say Jesus destroyed "the middle wall of partition." Sounds like Temple wall in Jerusalem. Gentiles couldn't go past Court of Gentiles.* *Question: How would a stone wall in Jerusalem cause enmity in Ephesus? Ephesian Gentiles never made trip to Jerusalem. Never saw that wall.* *Paul was Pharisee. He used Pharisee word. Peshitta preserves it. Greek misses it.* *Word is Siyga ( סיגא / ܣܝܓܐ ) — Fence. Not wall of stones. Man-made fence around Torah.* *Avot 1:1 — Asu siyag laTorah ( עשו סיג לתורה / ܥܒܕܘ ܣܝܓܐ ܠܢܡܘܣܐ ) — Make a fence around Torah.* *That fence = halacha — man-made rules: Jew cannot eat with Gentile. Cannot eat meat cooked in Gentile pot. Wash hands this way. Sabbath carry this. Touch not, taste not. All siyga.* *That siyga was enmity. Not Torah. Torah is holy Rom 7:12.* #### *Eph 2:14-16 Full Context Peshitta* *Verse 14:* *Transliteration: Hu yu shlama dil...

### *Paraqlita — Not Greek. The Remover of the Curse.* *They list it as Greek loan word. Parakletos. Para + Kaleo. "One called alongside." A Roman courtroom word. An advocate.* *Laughable. Half-scholars who never prayed in Hebrew.* *Peshitta says Praqlita ( ܦܪܩܠܝܛܐ ) . John 14:16, 14:26, 15:26, 16:7. Four times the Lord promises Him. Not a lawyer. A Remover.* *Break it down:* *Paraq ( פרק / ܦܪܩ ) — to tear away, to redeem, to deliver, to break off.* *David: Paraq et nafshi — He redeemed my soul Ps 34:22* *Peshitta Mark 15:31 — L'paraq nafsheh lo yachil ( ܠܡܦܪܩ ܢܦܫܗ ܠܐ ܝܟܝܠ ) — He cannot save himself. Same root.* *Lata / Luwt ( לטא / לוט / ܠܘܛ ) — curse, veil, covering, enchantment.* *Gen 3:14 curse laid. Gen 38:14 Tamar covered herself vatelot ( ותלוט ) — same root, veil.* *2 Cor 3:14 — veil on heart. Same root.* *Paraq + Lata = Paraqlita ( פרקליטא / ܦܪܩܠܝܛܐ ) — The One Who Tears Away The Curse. The Remover of The Veil.* *That is not Greek. That is Eden. That is...

*Good question. A lot fewer than people think — but enough to show the split.* ### *Short answer:* *About 250-400 Greek loanwords in the entire Peshitta New Testament.* *Out of ∼22,000+ words, that’s about 1-1.5%.* *Some scholars count:* - *George Kiraz* (Syriac scholar): ∼350 Greek lexemes - *Jan Joosten / Sebastian Brock*: ∼300-400 distinct Greek roots, ∼1500 total occurrences counting repeats ### *Why any Greek at all?* 1. *Administration & Law* — Rome ran things. ܩܝܣܪ _qaysar_ = Caesar, ܦܪܗܓܕܐ _praetoria_, ܩܢܛܘܪܝܘܢ _qentoryon_ = centurion, ܕܝܢܪܐ _deenara_ = denarius 2. *Military & Roads* — ܐܣܛܪܛܝܘܛܐ _astratiota_ = soldier, ܡܝܠܐ _mila_ = mile 3. *Weights/Money* — ܠܝܛܪܐ _litra_ = pound, ܡܢܐ _mna_ = mina 4. *Philosophical/Religious terms that had no Aramaic equivalent yet:* ܐܘܢܓܠܝܘܢ _ewangeliyon_ = gospel, ܐܦܣܛܠܐ _apostola_ = apostle, ܐܦܣܩܘܦܐ _episqopa_ = bishop, ܕܝܐܬܝܩܝ _diatheke_ = testament/covenant ### *Key Margea point — Greek words prove Peshitta is...
