No one is able to read "Hebrew". It does not exist. There is Aramaic and Paleo-Hebrew/Phoenecian.
It is probable that He, coming from a Jewish family, could read Aramaic, however the evidence points to Him speaking Greek.

I have no idea what you quoted, here is from the Brenton LXX to English translation:
" Brenton Greek Septuagint (LXX)
"For thus saith the Lord; They shall yet speak this word in the land of Judah, and in the cities thereof, when I shall turn his captivity; blessed be the Lord on his righteous holy mountain!"

Maybe in crazy Reckart-land, where facts are ignored in favour of opinion, Hebrew doesn't exist, but among actual trained historical linguists, it does.

No. There is absolutely no evidence pointing to Jesus being a Greek speaker. The reason that the New Testament is in Greek is that it was directed at both a Jewish and Gentile audience, and thus was written in a language that could be understood by elements in both groups.
Christianity is a Jewish sect, it is not a Greek religion.
Almost the entire Old Testament was written in Hebrew during the thousand years of its composition. But a few chapters in the prophecies of Ezra and Daniel and one verse in Jeremiah were written in a language called Aramaic. This language became very popular in the ancient world and actually displaced many other languages. Aramaic even became the common language spoken in Israel in Jesus' time, and it was likely the language He spoke day by day. Some Aramaic words were even used by the Gospel writers in the New Testament. The New Testament, however, was written in Greek. This seems strange, since you might think it would be either Hebrew or Aramaic. However, Greek was the language of scholarship during the years of the composition of the New Testament from 50 to 100 AD.

And Yeshua is Hebrew, not Aramaic.
There is no "Hebrew" language, only Paleo-Hebrew/Phoenecian and Aramaic. Yeshua is Aramaic.

No, the Greek word used means "speech/dialect". Do you know the difference between "Logos" and "Rhema"?
And you weren't quoting Jeremiah 31. Jeremiah 30-31 deals with the future regathering of Israel/Judah from the nations they would be scattered to after the diaspora.edit on 29-7-2013 by NOTurTypical because: (no reason given)

Yes, I quoted Jeremias 31:20-25 from the Septuagint. It is actually Jeremias 38:23 in the Septuagint that you wanted. You are taking the verse out of context. It says nothing about a lost language being found again.edit on 29-7-2013 by truejew because: (no reason given)

One moves to "Crazy Reckartland", a theological counterpart to Fantasyland in Disneyworld, lol.
I agree, though -- arguing with an indoctrinated cultist is like arguing with a brick wall... probably why I have a bloody forehead, but as God won't give up on him, neither will I.

TJ,
Really, by whose authority do you speak to interpret Scripture correctly? You constantlyt disagree with the Church, her teachings and they come from the Apostles. Remember, Jesus said those who hear you, hear Me.
So actually saying "the teachings of the Church" better to say "the teachings of Christ." Jesus assured the
world, evil will never overcome the Church. Trust her and not men with no authority.
