Peshitta

The Peshitta is an ancient version of the Bible in Syriac, a language used by early Christian communities in the Middle East. It was developed around the 2nd century AD and serves as the standard Bible for many Syriac-speaking churches. The Peshitta includes most of the same books as other Christian Bibles, but some of the Old Testament texts differ slightly. It is valuable for understanding early Christian history and translations, offering insights into how biblical texts were read and interpreted in the early centuries of Christianity.
