A New Witness to the Original Hebrew Synoptic Gospels
By
James Scott Trimm<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As many of you know, I have been working for over a year, on a project with Dr. Albert Garza, analyzing some 4,000 pages of Hebrew manuscripts of “New Testament” books. The vast majority of these manuscripts have appeared to be Hebrew translations on the Greek, the Latin Vulgate or even the Peshitta Aramaic. However, a couple of weeks ago, Dr. Garza sent me a new text for analysis (Ms. Or 150 from Zentralbibliothek Zurich (Zurich Central Library)). As I studied this text very carefully, I realized it is very different. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This text, which I have named the “Garza-Trimm” text, is a manuscript of the three Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke Chapters 1-17). The book of Matthew in this manuscript is titled \u05ea\u05d5\u05e8\u05ea \u05d4\u05de\u05e9\u05d9\u05d7 “The Torah of the Messiah,” just as it is in the version published by Sebastian Munster in 1537, which he said he “obtained from among the Jews.” This is not surprising, because the Hebrew Matthew in this manuscript is a manuscript of the same family and that of Munster and DuTillet, but it does not agree with either of them precisely. Sometimes it agrees with DuTillet, sometimes with Munster, and sometimes it departs from both, often agreeing with the underlying Hebrew text behind the Greek, and even with the Shem Tob text. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A colophon on the final page of the text reads:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Torah of the Messiah<\/em><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

and the New Covenant
First Section<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sacred and complete.
And this is the Torah of Yeshua, our Master and Messiah,
transmitted by the hand of Matti the Evangelist in the Greek tongue,
and at a later time translated into the sacred tongue (Hebrew),
brought to light from the underground hiding place of the Jews,
who were concealed together with their testimonies,
here in Bern.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the year when the Messiah, Son of Elohim, came in peace,
by the appointment of a faithful man and a righteous proselyte,
in Yeshua the Messiah\u2014
Na\u2019im Yeruchalmi of Bern,
Rotherwolf Bernhardt, a physician from Prague,
a healer of ailments (especially of the mouth),
in the place of Bern,
in the land of Switzerland.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Some of this Hebrew of this colophon is difficult, but I have done my best to render it into English. It expresses the scribes opinion that Matthew was originally written in Greek, and later translated into this Hebrew text. This opinion is of limited value to us. What is important, is the source of the text itself. We are told that was \u05de\u05d5\u05e6\u05d0\u05ea \u05dc\u05d0\u05d5\u05e8 \u05db\u05de\u05d5\u05e1\u05d4 \u05d4\u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d3\u05d9\u05dd \u05d4\u05e0\u05d7\u05d1\u05d0\u05d5 \u05d1\u05de\u05e2\u05d3\u05d5\u05ea\u05dd “Finding light, of the underground hiding place of the Jews they that were hidden in their testimonies<\/em>.” The word \u05db\u05de\u05d5\u05e1\u05d4 is of special interest. I have translated it “underground hiding place<\/em>” and in fact, this word can mean “cave”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The colophon seems to say that a medical doctor named Rotherwolf Bernhardt<\/em>, who became a “proselyte in Yeshua the Messiah” published this Hebrew text, which was held among secret Jewish believers in Yeshua, and had been hidden away in caves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The analysis of this text has just begun, but the following observations are enough to demonstrate that it is a new witness to the same family of Hebrew manuscripts as DuTillet and Munster, and that, as such, it is part of the scribal tradition of the original Hebrew of Matthew:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew 1:20<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here the Greek reads:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026 for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

However the DuTillet Hebrew reads:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u05db\u05d9 \u05de\u05d4 \u05e9\u05d9\u05dc\u05d3<\/mark> \u05de\u05de\u05e0\u05d4 \u05de\u05e8\u05d5\u05d7 \u05d4\u05e7\u05d3\u05e9 \u05d4\u05d5\u05d0 \u05db\u05d9 \u05de\u05e8\u05d5\u05d7 \u05d4\u05e7\u05d5\u05d3\u05e9 \u05d4\u05d9\u05d0 \u05d4\u05e8\u05d4<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u2026for that which will be born <\/strong>of her is from the Ruach HaKodesh; for from the Ruach HaKodesh she has conceived<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the Old Syriac Curetonian Ms reads:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u05d4\u05d5 \u05d2\u05d9\u05e8 \u05d3\u05de\u05ea\u05d9\u05dc\u05d3<\/mark> \u05de\u05e0\u05d4 \u05de\u05df \u05e8\u05d5\u05d7\u05d0 \u05d4\u05d5 \u05d3\u05e7\u05d5\u05d3\u05e9\u05d0 \u05d1\u05d8\u05d9\u05df<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u2026for that which is born <\/em><\/strong>of her, from the Ruach HaKodesh is conceived.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is very significant, because the Old Syriac Aramaic was lost from ancient times, until its 19th Century rediscovery. It was simply not available to Jews in Europe during the Middle Ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even Munster does not have this reading, instead reading: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u05db\u05d9 \u05de\u05d4 \u05e9\u05d9\u05dc\u05d3<\/mark> \u05d1\u05ea\u05d5\u05db\u05d4 \u05de\u05d0\u05ea \u05e8\u05d5\u05d7 \u05d4\u05e7\u05d5\u05d3\u05e9 \u05d4\u05d5\u05d0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For that which<\/em> is born<\/em><\/strong> of her, is from the Ruach HaKodesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact no other version of Matthew except the Old Syriac Aramaic and the DuTillet Hebrew Manuscript of Matthew, contain this reading… until now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Garza-Trimm text agrees almost word for word with DuTillet, and with the Old Syriac, reading:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u05db\u05d9 \u05de\u05d4 \u05e9\u05d9\u05d5\u05dc\u05d3<\/mark> \u05de\u05de\u05e0\u05d4 \u05db\u05d9 \u05de\u05e8\u05d5\u05d7 \u05d4\u05e7\u05d5\u05d3\u05e9 \u05d4\u05d9\u05d0 \u05d4\u05e8\u05d4<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For that which is born from her,<\/strong><\/em> that from the Ruach HaKodesh is conceived<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew 3:16<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DuTillet Hebrew version of Matthew says not \u201clike a dove\u201d but \u05db\u05d3\u05de\u05d5\u05ea \u05d9\u05d5\u05e0\u05d4 \u201cin the likeness of a dove\u201d in agreement with \u05d1\u05d3\u05de\u05d5\u05ea\u05d0 \u05d3\u05d9\u05d5\u05e0\u05d0 of the Old Syriac S manuscript. This also corresponds with the reading in the Gospel according to the Hebrews<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Garza-Trimm Hebrew Matthew, agrees with DuTillet in this wording, and the Hebrew of Luke 3:22 in this manuscript has this same reading as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew 4:4<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here Yeshua quotes from Deut. 8:3 where the Greek Septuagint and Greek Matthew read “God” but DuTillet and Munster have “YHWH” (in DuTillet this appears as an abbreviation) in agreement with the Masoretic Text, as well as the Old Syriac (which has \u05de\u05e8\u05d9\u05d0 the Aramaic word that the Old Syriac and Peshitta use for YHWH). Here our new manuscript, agrees with the Masoretic Text against the Greek, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same is true in Luke 4:4 of this Hebrew version of Luke, where the Greek has “God” but the Garza-Trimm Hebrew has “YHWH” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew 9:25<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here DuTillet (but not Munster) repeats the word “Arise” (as it is in Mark 5:41), as does the Garza-Trimm Hebrew Matthew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew 11:29<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the ancient Nazarene Commentary to Isaiah 9:1-4 preserved only in Latin, in a fourth century quotation by Jerome, re read that when Yeshua came to the Land of Zebulon and the Land of Naphtali that he \u201cscribarum et pharisaeorum est erroribus liberata, et gravissimum traditionum Iudaicarum iugum excussit de cervicibus suis<\/em><\/strong>.\u201d or in English that he \u201cHe shook off<\/strong><\/em> of their shoulders the yoke of the heavy decrees of the Scribes and Pharisees\u201d (I have rendered \u201ctraditionum\u201d as \u201cdecrees\u201d based on Jerome\u2019s use of that Latin word in the Latin Vulgate in Matthew 15 where the DuTillet Hebrew has \u05d2\u05d6\u05e8\u05ea\u05db\u05dd \u201cyour decrees, judgements, sentences\u201d.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we look at Isaiah 9:1-4 the Hebrew words for \u201cyoke\u201d and \u201cshoulder\u201d but the verb there is \u05d4\u05d7\u05ea\u05ea \u201cbroken\u201d not \u201cshaken off\u201d. And, in fact, in Biblical Hebrew the idiom is always that a yoke is \u201cbroken\u201d. But here the Latin verb is excussit <\/em>\u201cto shake off\u201d. This points strongly to the Hebrew verb \u05e0\u05e2\u05e8<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In DuTillet\u2019s Hebrew Matthew 11:29 Yeshua uses the verb \u05e0\u05e2\u05e8!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

28 Come to me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will satisfy you.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me, for I shake (\u05e0\u05e2\u05e8) [that burden] off <\/strong>and am downcast of spirit, and you will find rest for your souls<\/strong> (Jer. 6:16; Ps. 23:3).
30 For my yoke is gentle, and my burden easy.
(Matthew 11:28-30 DuTillet)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Graza-Trimm Hebrew Matthew uses this very unusual verb here as well. I know of no other versions of Matthew that use this unusual verb here, except for DuTillet and now the Garza-Trimm Hebrew text. (Not even Munster). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Greek translator must have misread \u05e0\u05e2\u05e8 as \u05e0\u05e2\u05dd \u201cto be pleasant\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No doubt the Nazarene Commentator on Isaiah saw Isaiah 9:1-4 and it brought to mind Matthew 3:14-16 & Matthew 11:28-30. And seeing the verb \u05e0\u05e2\u05e8 in his Hebrew text of Matthew 11:29 commented that Yeshua \u201cshook off<\/em><\/strong> of their shoulders the yoke of the heavy decrees of the Scribes and Pharisees\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This cannot be a coincidence. The Ancient Nazarene Commentator on Isaiah clearly had a Hebrew Matthew before him that agreed with this unique reading found only in the DuTillet Hebrew Matthew (and our new manuscript). We can now make a definite connection between DuTillet Hebrew Matthew, and the original Hebrew Matthew which was in the hands of the Ancient Nazarene Jews!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew 17:12<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here DuTillet has:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u05d9\u05e7\u05d1\u05dc \u05d5\u05d9\u05e9\u05d0 \u05d9\u05e1\u05d5\u05e8\u05d9\u05dd \u05de\u05d4<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“…receive and bear scourgings from them.”|<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whereas the Greek simply has “suffer from them”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Greek translator must have had a Hebrew manuscript with read \u05d9\u05e1\u05d1\u05dc “suffer” instead of \u05d9\u05e7\u05d1\u05dc “receive” (an obvious Scribal error within the Hebrew)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Garza-Trimm manuscript reads:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u05d9\u05e7\u05d1\u05dc \u05d5\u05e1\u05d1\u05dc \u05de\u05e0\u05d4 \u05d9\u05e1\u05d5\u05e8\u05d9\u05dd<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“…receive and bear from them, scourgings.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which is clearly a conflation of the DuTillet reading and the underlying reading behind the Greek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Munster text has \u05d9\u05e9\u05d0 \u05d9\u05e1\u05d5\u05e8\u05d9\u05dd \u05de\u05d4\u05dd”bear scourgings from them.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an interesting twist the Old Syriac (C) has Aramaic \u05e0\u05e1\u05d9\u05d1\u05e8 = Hebrew \u05d9\u05e1\u05d1\u05e8 (endure) which is also related by scribal error to \u05d9\u05e1\u05d1\u05dc (suffer) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew 22:37<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here Yeshua quotes Deut 6:5. Greek Matthew has “mind” (the LXX does not agree) while DuTillet, Munster and the Garza-Trimm texts agree with the Masoretic text (as well as the Old Syriac) have “strength”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew 27:46<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this passage, Yeshua cries out shortly before his death, “Eli, Eli, Lama Shabachtani” (as the Greek transliterates the Aramaic). This is quoting the Aramaic Peshitta Text of Psalm 22:1. The original Hebrew of Psalm 22:1 is “Eli. Eli, Lama Azbatani”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Munster reads: \u05d0\u05dc\u05d9 \u05d0\u05dc\u05d9 \u05dc\u05de\u05d4 \u05e9\u05d1\u05e7\u05ea\u05e0\u05d9<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iohannes Quinquarboreus, in his 1551 reprinting of the Munster Text has a marginal note to \u05e9\u05d1\u05e7\u05ea\u05e0\u05d9, offering the alternate reading \u05e2\u05d6\u05d1\u05ea\u05e0\u05d9 as we read in Ps. 22:1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DuTillet has a very unique reading here: \u05d0\u05dc\u05d9 \u05d0\u05dc\u05d9 \u05dc\u05de\u05d4 \u05e9\u05db\u05d7\u05ea\u05e0\u05d9<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This would have the meaning “why have you forgotten me” rather than “why have you forsaken me” (Perhaps drawn from Ps. 42:9) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So it is indeed interesting that the Garza-Trimm manuscript has a complicated reading:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u05d0\u05dc\u05d9 \u05d0\u05dc\u05d9 \u05dc\u05de\u05d4 \u05e2\u05d6\u05d1\u05ea\u05e0\u05d9 (\u05e9\u05d1\u05e7\u05ea\u05e0\u05d9) (\u05e9\u05db\u05d7\u05ea\u05e0\u05d9) \u05e9\u05d1\u05d7\u05ea\u05e0\u05d9 (\u05e9\u05d7\u05d8\u05ea\u05e0\u05d9)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is complicated text. The initial text agrees with the Hebrew of Ps. 22:1 (and Quinquarboreus’ marginal note) then in the first set of parenthesis is the reading of Munster (which is the same as the Aramaic given in Greek Matthew, the Peshitta Matthew and the Peshitta of Psalm 22:1). The next set of parenthesis give a word similar to the DuTillet reading, but with a \u05d1 in place of a \u05db so that the meaning is “glorified me”. This is followed by the reading “forgotten me” as found in DuTillet. Finally this is followed by a word meaning “killed me” in parenthesis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a future installment, I will explore analysis of the Hebrew versions of Mark and Luke found as found in the Garza-Trimm manuscript.<\/p>\n\n\n
