A Biblical Aramaic Reader

This reader is for anyone very eager to read the story of Daniel in the

lions' den and many other fascinating stories in their original

language, Aramaic. A brief outline of Biblical Aramaic grammar is

followed by a verse-to-verse grammatical commentary on the Aramaic

chapters in the books of Daniel and Ezra. Both the outline grammar and

the grammatical commentary presuppose basic knowledge of the grammar and

vocabulary of Biblical Hebrew. Constant references are made in the

commentary to relevant sections of the outline grammar. The commentary

is written in a user-friendly, not overtly technical language. Some

grammatical exercises with keys and paradigms conclude the Reader. Also

suitable for self-study.
