Pentecost: Wordplay in the Syriac Edition of the Book of Acts - Aramaic Bible Study Acts 2:1-6
What is an example of Aramaic wordplay in the Bible? Let us look at the way in which the Aramaic of Acts 2:1-6 portrays the day of Pentecost through the use of equivocality.
I read the passage in both the Western accent written in the Serto script and commonly found among the Syriac Orthodox, Maronite Catholic, and Syrian Catholic communities (and historically the Antiochian Orthodox). I also read the text in the Eastern accent found among the Ancient/Assyrian Church of the East, the Chaldean Catholics, and the Syriac Orthodox and Syriac Catholic communities of Northern Iraq.

Thank you for the feedback!
Quick Note:- In various dialact of neo-aramaic we use the word (ܦܘܚܐ-paokha) for the wind or air.

Thank you for your kind words! One day I would like to go to Brazil (and maybe learn Portuguese).
Hello Professor, I'm sorry if this is out of field but I was wondering if you know about the Old South Arabian languages( Sabaic, Qatabanic, Minean, Hadhramitic) and if you could talk about them in future videos. I fell in love with these languages when I heard about them.

I don't know too much. I do have an old Sabaic grammar somewhere in my library. I'd like to learn more about them.
