Languages in Biblical Writings

The Old Testament (a.k.a., "Hebrew Bible" was written primarily in Hebrew, but there are portions that were written in Aramaic. It was translated into Koine Greek between the 3rd and 1st centuries. This translation is referred to as the Septuagint (LXX) because it is said to have been translated by seventy (70) Jewish scholars.

The New Testament was written primarily in Koine Greek, but there are portions that were written in Aramaic. Some scholars believe that some (if not all) of the New Testament books were written completely in Aramaic, because this was the language that Jesus spoke. This version is called the Peshitta.

James Strong and Strong's Numbers

Dr. James Strong (1822-1894) was the professor of Exegetical Theology at Drew Theological Seminary and oversaw the creation of Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible. This was published in 1890 and linked every word in the King James Version back to the word in the original language using a unique numbering system referred to as Strong's Numbers.

Strong's Numbers have become a vital tool for Bible scholars, lay-leaders, and Bible enthusiasts alike. It provides a way of doing a deeper Bible study without having to know a non-English language.
