Aramaic Book of Matthew Interpretation Ch 1 - 28 Aramaic was the language of Jesus and the disciples. So wouldn’t it be amazing if you could hear what the Aramaic New Testament sounded like?

The Gospel of Matthew mainly differs from the other gospels due to its heavily Jewish perspective. He also quotes the Old Testament far more than any of the other gospels. He spends a great deal of time pointing out references from the Torah present in Jesus' teachings. It also contained five collections of teachings regarding Jesus' commandments. Those teachings were about the law, mission, mystery, greatness, and future of the Kingdom. The Gospel of Matthew also points out the Jewish apathy at the time, which prompted the spreading of the message to the gentiles. Matthew's job as a tax collector is also evident in his Gospel. He discusses money far more in the Gospel of Matthew than any other book, especially in the parable of the Talent. The Peshitta: Aramaic is almost forgotten language, based on a completely different and an unfamiliar view a forever fresh (holistic) approach: the Aramaic language. I use the original Aramaic Bible in my teaching called The Peshitta: Peshitta is derived from the Syriac literally meaning "simple version". However, it is also possible to translate pšîṭtâ as "common" (that is, for all people), or "straight", as well as the usual translation as "simple". Simplicity is the key of approaching scripture. Aramaic can only be spoken and understood through the heart. An intellectual person without heart contact will not grab hold or understand the language’s depth. The heart sings its song. The tones, the rhythm, be yourself who you are and what meant to be, because it is creation’s expression of unconditional love (HoBo) Mercy (rakhmanii) and forgiveness (shbaaq). Not many people are able to hear this song of the heart. Most Christians in the Western culture have inherited the Greek or Western mindset, meaning they think in a different way than the people of the Bible. This means that much of what you read in the Bible is lost on a Western culture and then becomes confusing when it is explained through a western lens.

The Aaronic Blessing The Aaronic Blessing, also known as the Priestly Blessing or Birkat Kohanim (בִּרְכַּת כֹּהֲנִים), is one of the most well-known and cherished passages in the Hebrew Bible. Found in Numbers 6:24-26, it is a three-part blessing delivered by Aaron and his sons to bless the Israelites. ← BACK TO ALL COURSES THE LESSONS Meet Your Instructor Andre Moubarak Andre Moubarak is the owner and founder of Twins Tours & Travel Ltd. in Israel.

The first video of this course is free, you can buy this course to see all the videos. Buy Now Cost Cultural and Historical Context: The Aaronic Blessing was given directly by God to Moses, instructing Aaron and his sons to bless the people of Israel. This marked the priestly role as not just intermediaries in sacrifices, but also conveyors of divine favor. In the Temple, the blessing was pronounced daily. Today, it is recited in Jewish liturgy during synagogue services, weddings, and other significant ceremonies. The tripartite structure reflects increasing layers of divine blessing: material well-being (blessing and protection), spiritual enlightenment (grace and presence), and ultimate wholeness (peace). Theological Significance: Covenantal Relationship: The blessing reaffirms God’s covenant with Israel, promising care, grace, and peace. Divine Favor: God's “face” shining upon someone symbolizes His favor and presence, crucial in ancient Near Eastern contexts. Shalom as the Ultimate Blessing: The culmination of the blessing is "shalom," encompassing well-being, harmony, and completeness—central to the Hebrew concept of a blessed life. RESOURCES ABOUT
