The Apocalypse of Baruch (2 Baruch), a Jewish pseudepigraphical text, is analyzed through its Aramaic-Syriac linguistic lens. The text, primarily extant in Syriac (an Aramaic dialect), is examined for its historical context, textual history, and key Aramaic features. Scholars explore the possibility of earlier Hebrew or Aramaic versions, highlighting significant Aramaic vocabulary and grammatical structures. The study covers the text's apocalyptic themes, such as divine justice, messianic hope, and the restoration of Jerusalem, within its broader Jewish and early Christian contexts. The analysis uses several examples of Aramaic/Syriac words and phrases to illustrate the linguistic features present in the text. check our online courses: www.twinsbiblicalacademy.com
