The Aramaic-English Interlinear Peshitta Old Testament (The Former Prophets and The Holy Writings) Joshua to Esther

This is a literal word for word interlinear translation of the 1900+ year old Aramaic Old Testament called the Peshitta. This volume two contains Joshua to Esther (12 books), also called the Former Prophets and The Holy Writings, all of which are the historical books of the Old Testament, spanning from 1400 BC to 477 BC (captivity in Babylon). Aramaic was the native language of Jesus and of Israel in the 1st century AD. The text translated is the 6th-7th century Codex Ambrosianus- the oldest complete Semitic Old Testament extant. The Peshitta OT was very likely translated from the Hebrew Bible in the 1st century AD in Israel by Christian coverts from Judaism, or possibly Syrian Christians from across Israel's border. The Peshitta Old and New Testaments together comprise the first Christian Bible. The author has translated and published an interlinear of the entire Aramaic Peshitta NT and The OT, as well as plain English translations of the NT, the Torah, the Psalms & Proverbs.
