A Note about the Hebrew and Greek Texts for the Son's Names
The New Testament was written in Koine Greek, of course, and that's the starting point for
serious exegesis of its writings. The Hebrew names derived here come from the Salkinson-
Ginsburg Hebrew New Testament (1999 edition) which I compared to F. Delitzsch's older Hebrew
translation of the Brit Chadashah as well as with the Robinson-Pierpont Majority Text (1995), the
Westcott and Hort NT, and the Friberg NT (UBS3/4). I also cross-checked against the LXX and
various Jewish sources.
