Scholar challenges traditional Bible stories translating Aramaic text
Dr. George M. Lamsa, an Assyrian translator, argues that many biblical miracles are mistranslated from Aramaic. He says Lot's wife was not a pillar of salt and Jonah did not survive in a whale, citing his direct Aramaic translations. He notes translators often misread colloquialisms and stresses his 14 year effort to render the Bible directly from Aramaic. He believes the Bible remains inspired but translator accuracy varies.
