That's the only word and it's a name of the people, not the language. One can speak English without being in England. It speaks of "leaving the land of the Chaldeans." And Stephen is talking about Abraham. What does that have to do with the Chaldean language (Hebraisti) of the Jews in the 1st century AD? Seems like you are drowing and grababing every straw you can find. Pathetic.

LOLOL --

So then the Greek "Chaldaios" means "Chaldean", and you are saying that the Greek "Hebraisti" also means "Chaldean"??? At first you claimed that the Greek "Hebraisti" meant "Aramaic", and then "Chaldean".

And now we find out that the Greek has two words for "Chaldean", and not one word at all for "Hebrew"????? Does anyone living in the real world outside of the land of Greek mythology believe that???

Perhaps we should heed that ancient advice: Beware of Greeks bearing their own dictionaries.

Yes, Hebraisti is the Greek name name of the language spoken by the Jews (Hebraios) of Paleastine in the 1st century AD, which happend to be Chaldeean. It's a historical fact.

Just because the Greeks called the language "Hebrew" (because Hebraios spoke it) doesn't mean it was OT Greek. Even the Jewish sources certify that the spoken language was Chaldean (Aramaic). What the Greeks called it did not change the language from Chaldean into OT Hebrew.

You just can't grasp that, can you?

And now we find out that the Greek has ... not one word at all for "Hebrew

You need to pay more attention. The Greek word for Old Testament is Ioudaisti. I have posted this half a dozen times. Maybe it's the medication, or who knows...but you don't seem to register it.
