God in Aramaic.

There are various words for God in Aramaic Eli  or Elahi (Biblical Aramaic) and alaha or  aloho in Syriac depending on the dialect.

The word sounds almost identical to the Arabic 'allah'.

Alternatively Aramaic speakers referred to God as 'maran' our Lord hence the Aramaic phrase μαρανάθα (maranatha) -O Lord come! from the Greek New Testament.

A handful of Aramaic phrases are included in the Greek New Testament amidst the Greek text. It's what Jesus said in Aramaic his native language. 

Jesus spoke Galilean Aramaic a dialect spoken natively north of Judaea .There is evidence that this dialect sounded harsh and distorted to the ears of Jerusalem Aramaic speaker. The distinct accent would immediately give away a Galilean in Jerusalem.

In the New Testament Jesus uses the following names when he refers to God.

abba (αββα)-father
Eli (ηλί) or Elohi (ελόΐ)- when being on the cross.
And maranatha ,a phrase which contains the word mar (Lord).



Jesus's last words on the cross were Εlohi,Εlohi lama sabbachtani?-God,God,why have you forsaken me? 

This phrase is from the New Testament the original being in Greek-Ηλί,Ηλί λαμά σαβαχθανί;In the same book there is another version of the same phrase-Ελοί,Ελοί λαμά σαβαχθανί;

elahi-God in the Aramaic Square script (Hebrew)


Here is the word Elahi with the vowels (the dots).




Now let us take a look how eli and alaha are written in the Syriac Estrangela script.

eli or ʾyl
alaha or ʾlhʾ



Aramaic gods
Aramaic is a language that was spoken in the ancient Near East, and it was used by various peoples throughout the region, including the Assyrians, Babylonians, and Persians. As such, there were many different gods worshipped by various Aramaic-speaking peoples, and the nature of these gods varied depending on the specific culture and time period in question.

One of the most well-known Aramaic gods is Baal, who was worshipped by the ancient Canaanites, Phoenicians, and Carthaginians. Baal was considered the god of storms, fertility, and agriculture, and he was often associated with the bull or the thunderbolt. Another important Aramaic god was Hadad, who was worshipped by the Assyrians and Babylonians. Hadad was also associated with storms and rain, and he was sometimes depicted holding a lightning bolt.

Other Aramaic gods include Tammuz, who was associated with the cycle of life and death, and Astarte, who was associated with fertility, sexuality, and war. In addition, there were many local gods worshipped by various Aramaic-speaking peoples, such as Nergal, who was the god of the underworld in Mesopotamia, and Nebo, who was the god of wisdom and writing. It's important to note that the specific beliefs and practices associated with these gods varied widely depending on the time and place in which they were worshipped.

Hebrew Word of the Week: Mammon.

by Yona Sabar Mammon is not in the Bible, where other words are used, such ashon ve-’osher be-veto, “Wealth and riches are in his house” (of the righteous) (Psalms 112:3), but it is very common in (Aramaic),Targumim and rabbinic literature. It may come from ma’mon “trust, deposit.” In Christianity, however, Mammon* has been associated with covetousness of wealth, the seventh sin (Matthew 6:24: You cannot serve God and mammon). In modern Hebrew, mamon is quite common with regard to financial and property business, such as mimmen, “financed”; mimmun, “financing”; mamonay, “financier”; mamoni, “monetary”; anddine’ mamonot, “civil (property) laws.” *Some Hebrew-Aramaic names and nouns entered English (via Latin-Greek), from the New Testament, such as Thomas, “twin (brother)” and abba, “father.” Yona Sabar is a professor of Hebrew and Aramaic in the department of Near Eastern Languages & Cultures at UCLA.

Jesus in Aramaic.

Jesus Christ, also known as Jesus of Nazareth, is believed by many scholars to have spoken Aramaic as his native language. Aramaic was a common language in the region of Galilee where Jesus grew up, and it was also used as a lingua franca throughout the Near East during the time of Jesus. There are several Aramaic words and phrases that are attributed to Jesus in the New Testament, such as "Talitha koum" (which means "Little girl, I say to you, get up!") and "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" (which means "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"). These phrases are evidence of Jesus' use of Aramaic. Additionally, some scholars believe that certain sayings of Jesus in the New Testament may have been originally spoken in Aramaic and later translated into Greek. For example, the saying "You cannot serve both God and money" (Matthew 6:24) is thought by some scholars to have originally been spoken in Aramaic as "You cannot serve both...
