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...
