Truth Exposed: Languages
In Daniel 2:4 we read that the wise men spoke in Aramaic. In Dan 1:4, the Israelites were made to learn Aramaic because they spoke Hebrew, which was a Canaanite language. Our language is influenced by the culture we live in. Aramaic was the common language of the Persian/Babylonian Empire. Languages play a huge part in the bible, but we don’t think about these barriers, we just assume things that end up being incorrect. When the Israelites went back to Jerusalem, they took Aramaic with them.
