When did Yeshua Rise?

When Was Yeshua Risen?
Proof of Hebrew/Aramaic Origins
By
James Scott Trimm
We read in the four Gospels:

In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
(Matthew 28:1 KJV)
And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.
(Mark 16:1 KJV)
Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.
(Luke 24:1 KJV)
The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.
(John 20:1 KJV)
There is a problem here in the Greek, but the problem has been smoothed out in the KJV English. While Mark says the sabbath had "passed" and Luke and John state it was the first day of the week, the Greek text of Matthew actually says "Late (ΟΨε) on the Sabbath" or "In the evening (ΟΨε) of the Sabbath" while Mark 16:1 says the Sabbath had passed (διαγενομενου).  The conflict has been made invisible by the KJV mistranslating ΟΨε as "after" rather than its correct meaning of "late" or "evening".
Of course anyone who knows the Hebrew calendar knows that days start in the evening, so that the evening of the Sabbath (Erev Shabbat), is Friday night!
The solution to this conflict is obvious when we look at the Hebrew and Aramaic manuscripts of these books.
In the DuTillet Hebrew manuscript of Matthew, Matthew 28:1 says "And in the evening (ערב) of Shabbat..."
While the Old Syriac Aramaic version of Mark has in Mark 16:1 "And when the Sabbath had passed (עברא)..." which in Hebrew would be עבר
Clearly there is a scribal error here.  An early scribe of Matthew transposed the letters so that עבר (passed) was mis-copied as ערב (evening)
These two words look nothing alike in Greek, but they look very much alike in Hebrew and Aramaic, providing yet another evidence that these books originated in Hebrew and Aramaic rather than Greek.

“Sirens” in the Book of Enoch?

“Sirens” in the Book of Enoch? By James Scott Trimm In the Book of Enoch we read: “And the women also of the angels who went astray shall become sirens .” (1Enoch 19:2). Although the Ethiopic text has “ salamaweyan ” (“peaceful”) which is widely regarded as a corruption with the original reading being that found in the Greek εις σειρηνας “into sirens.”  This is certainly a passage which we would like to see in the Aramaic, much less the lost original Hebrew, but unfortunately the Aramaic for this passage has not survived. In Greek mythology, the Sirens were beautiful yet dangerous creatures, who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island.  So why would the Book of Enoch refer to “sirens”.  Why would an ancient Hebrew text refer to “sirens” and what was the original Hebrew word(s) behind “sirens”? “Sirens” in the LXX In the Greek Septuagint the Greek word σειρηνας (sirens) does in fact appea

Secrets of the Oath That Binds the Fallen Angels By James Scott Trimm We read in the Torah: 1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 2 That the sons of Elohim saw the daughters of men, that they were fair. And they took them wives, whomsoever they chose. 3 And YHWH said: My Spirit shall not abide in man forever. For that he also is flesh; therefore shall his days be a hundred and twenty years. 4 The N’filim were on the earth in those days and also after that, when the sons of Elohim came in unto the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. The same were the mighty men that were of old--the men of renown. 5 And YHWH saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil; continually. 6 And it repented YHWH that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His heart. 7 And YHWH said: I will blot out man whom
