The Divine name used in the Peshitta New Testament.

This is a fully exhaustive list of every place the Divine name of God appears in the New Testament
according to the Aramaic Peshitta texts. I have included a few partial quotes to help with locating the
exact location of this name when the location may not be clear. This list can easily be verified against
Glenn David Bauscher’s interlinear translation of the Peshitta, Paul Younan’s translation of the Peshitta,
Janet M Magiera’s translation of the Aramaic Peshitto, And Andrew Roth’s translation (which has a few
less instances,) and a few others.

* The Epistle of 2nd Peter is not included in The Peshitta; neither is 2nd John, 3rd John, Jude or
Revelation. Those books are supplied in John Gwynn's edition of the General Epistles from The Crawford
Aramaic manuscript and others of these books. These books have been included in the Western Canon
of The Syrian Orthodox Church, The Maronite Church and others which use the Aramaic NT, however,
the General Epistles in those churches have been based on The Harklean Syriac Version, which is a
translation from the Greek NT into Aramaic done in AD 616. The text used by John Gwynn is not The
Harklean Version. The texts of the two editions are quite diverse in many places, & Gwynn characterizes
the Crawford & Palestinian Aramaic texts used as very Peshitta-like –“as idiomatic as The Peshitta”- and
of a high quality, unlike the Harklean’s Aramaic, which is quite crude and stilted, -“has systematically
done violence to the Syriac” - very obviously a literal translation of Greek.

The entries marked below indicate “Mar-Yah” of the original. Several notes are added to compare
various translations.
