All of the Books of the New Testament are in Greek.

All of the Books of the Hebrew Bible are in Hebrew, with the exception of the following Aramaic verses and passages:

  • Ezra 4:8-6:18 and 7:12-26 - quotations of documents from the 5th century BCE concerning the restoration of the Temple in Jerusalem.
  • Daniel 2:4b-7:28 - five stories about Daniel and his colleagues, and an apocalyptic vision.
  • Jeremiah 10:11 - a single sentence denouncing idolatry occurs in the middle of a Hebrew text.
  • Genesis 31:47 - translation of a Hebrew place-name.

From a Jewish point of view, ALL 24 books of the Hebrew Bible contain Hebrew except for a few passages in Aramaic.

From a Christian point of view, The Bible is almost always read in translation, so it does not contain Hebrew. But the Old Testament is a Christian translation of the Hebrew Bible (see above).
