The Name Allah in Aramaic Bible

 In the Aramaic Bible, often referred to as the Peshitta, the word Allaha (ܐܠܗܐ) is used to refer to God. This term appears throughout the text in many verses, as the Peshitta is the Syriac version of the Bible, and Syriac is a dialect of Aramaic.


Here are a few notable verses where “Allaha” appears:


1. Genesis 1:1 — “In the beginning, Allaha created the heavens and the earth.”

2. John 1:1 — “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Allaha, and the Word was Allaha.”

3. John 3:16 — “For Allaha so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son…”


The word “Allaha” is consistently used throughout both the Old and New Testament portions of the Peshitta to refer to God, similar to how “Elohim” or “Theos” is used in the Hebrew and Greek texts respectively.


If you are looking for a specific verse that mentions Allaha, nearly every verse referring to God in the Peshitta will use this term.
