But English-language bibles "solve" this problem by offering just the kind of bible you need. The NIV substitutes "Aramaic" for every NT KJV reference to "Hebrew" (language). NAB has four references to Aramaic (only in the OT), and KJV has NO "Aramaic" in the OT or the NT! The KJ uses talitha cumi in Mk.5:41,which is, I believe, an Aramaic expression, the same word that the NIV uses.

NAB does in four instances in the OT, and the KJV calls everything Hebrew and does not use the name Aramaic in the NT.
