The word Aramith means 'in Aramaic' and marks sections of the Old Testament written in Aramaic rather than Hebrew. Large portions of Daniel (2:4b–7:28) and Ezra (4:8–6:18; 7:12-26), as well as one verse in Jeremiah (10:11), are written in Aramaic, the international diplomatic language of the ancient Near East.
The presence of Aramaic in Scripture carries multiple theological implications. It demonstrates God's universal reach — His word was given in the language of international diplomacy, not only the sacred tongue of Israel. Daniel's visions in Aramaic address the destinies of world empires. The international language carries the universal claim of God's sovereignty. Additionally, by the first century AD, Aramaic was Jesus's native tongue, making these passages part of the linguistic world in which the Incarnation took place.
