This episode is a discussion about the early Old Testament translations of the Bible, Some of the first translations of the Hebrew Bible began during the Babylonian exile when Aramaic replaced Hebrew as the common language of the Jews living in and out of Israel. With most people speaking only Aramaic and not understanding Hebrew, the Targums were created to allow the common person to understand the Hebrew Bible as it was read in ancient synagogues. Then Later the Word spread all over the world to the corners in the form of different spoken languages.
