Listen "The Star of Bethlehem_ An Aramaic Perspective"
Episode Synopsis
The text explores the Star of Bethlehem narrative in Matthew's Gospel through an Aramaic linguistic and cultural lens. Aramaic word choices, like kawkav (star), highlight the story's divine and Messianic significance, connecting it to existing Jewish prophecies and Near Eastern astrological traditions. The magi's interpretation of the star reflects a cross-cultural understanding facilitated by Aramaic, a common language. Finally, the text analyzes the star's symbolic representation of divine light and guidance, tying it to broader Semitic and Jewish imagery. for more in depth teachings check our website: www.twinstours.com
