Hello Peter:

I must disagree that the word plays work outside of Hebrew (whatever
version) and I have been explicity been shown why not which is an explanation
beyond my ability to reproduce here except descriptively as I have prior.
Even in the Aramaic it is not the same. You can view the Peshitta online
(http://www.standardversion.org/index-aesv.php).

Regards,
David Fenton

Gal. 27-29: For as many as have had a tevilah into Moshiach have clothed
yourselves with Moshiach. There is not Yehudi nor Yevani (Greek), there is
not eved (servant) nor ben chorin (freedman), there is not zachar (male) nor
nekevah (female), for you are all echad in Moshiach Yehoshua/Yeshua. And, if
you belong to Moshiach (YESHAYAH 53:10), then you are of the ZERAH of Avraham
Avinu, you are yoreshim (heirs) according to the havtachah (promise).

No, actually these word plays work just as well in Arabic and probably other
Semitic languages. So, even if there is any validity to this line of
argument, the most it can be used to prove is that the original language was
Semitic.
