The original documents were written in the languages of ____, ____ and ____.

• A. Hebrew; Latin; Greek
• B. Hebrew; Aramaic; Greek
• C. Aramaic; Greek; Latin
• D. Hebrew; Aramaic; Latin

Answer: (B)

Original languages of biblical manuscripts. The Old Testament was primarily written in Hebrew, with a few portions in Aramaic (notably in Daniel and Ezra). The New Testament was written in Greek. Latin came later as a translation language, not as an original manuscript language. So the trio that reflects the languages in which the original documents were composed is Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek.
