Why are parts of the Bible in Aramaic?
A:Aramaic is a West Semitic language, closely related to Hebrew, that evolved in Syria from the original Canaanite language, in the ninth and eighth centuries BCE. This provides an earliest date for any Aramaic writing. In practice, the biblical authors in Judah never used Aramaic before the Babylonian Exile.The Old Testament was written almost entirely in Hebrew, but some material dated during or after the Exile was written in Imperial Aramaic, the dialect adopted by the Persian Empire in 500 BCE. A small amount of later material is even written in the Greek language.The Book of Daniel has been dated to the second century BCE, long after the Exile, and contains some Aramaic passages. It is likely that these passages were formerly Aramaic folk tales and were not translated into Hebrew. The Book of Ezra also contains passages in Aramaic, which is not surprising as this was written during the Persian period.Genesis 31:47 contains an Aramaic place name, Jjegar Sahadutha, which is the translated into Hebrew. The author of this passage simply did not realise that the Aramaic language was a relatively recent development and included the Aramaic name and its translation into Hebrew, so as to give context to his story.
