Part 6/13:
Understanding biblical and ancient texts hinges on language. The Bible was primarily written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. However, fluency in these languages is rare today, and most texts have undergone numerous translations, often evolving in meaning over time. Ancient Greek, for example, had over 1.2 million words—making direct comprehension complex. Meanwhile, Hebrew contains only around 7,000 words, and Aramaic is even more limited.
