Semitisms in the New Testament Influences from Semitic languages on the text of the Greek New Testament.
Because the Greek New Testament has a significantly Jewish background, its Semitic influences mainly derive from Hebrew and Aramaic (see Moule, Idiom Book, 170–71). Semitisms fall into the categories of vocabulary and style in the Greek New Testament (Wallace, Greek Grammar beyond the Basics, 24–29; see Moule, Idiom Book, 171–91; Voelz, “The Language of the New Testament,” 957–64; Wilcox, “Semitisms in the New Testament”; BDF, 273, s.v. “Semitisms”). The kinds and degrees of Semitic influence vary by book (BDF, §4; Wallace, Greek Grammar beyond the Basics, 30).
