And even then, the Pagan characteristics of the Greek language limits the ability to completely convey the message from Hebrew as we've seen.

You have to be careful taking a stand in which you dismiss a language as 'pagan.' Chart below shows the progression of the Hebrew. I am sure you will note the later Hebrew and then Aramaic were influenced by neighboring pagan empires to include Babylon? Even if you look at the paleo-Hebrew pictographs there is linkage to the language used by the Philistines, which if you look at their history they came from 'Greek' environs.

So what I think we see as the Hebrew language progresses, it gets closer to other languages in the surrounding regions. Amazing to look at as God promised to bring salvation to the Gentiles and as the nearing of the First Advent of Christ, we have an empire which has multilingual subjects. And the fact (as you look at the chart) the Hebrew of the time of the First Advent starts to become more 'integrated' with the Greek.

Nice table, though it gets a little old after about the dozenth time that you've posted it. Our tax dollars at work?

A language is much more than the letters it uses to form representative words of thoughts and objects. Hence, much of the Greek language is devoted to their belief in Pagan Gods.
