#5001 Entitled to the Right Title

Question

Why is the Sefer of Tanach called “Trei Asar”, in Aramaic, instead of the Hebrew “Shnaim Asar?

Answer

Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit"a explained, that the sages that compiled that part of Tanach came from Babel and thus were used to speak and use the Aramaic language, as it is also normally used in most of our Talmud.

Rabbi A. Bartfeld as revised by Horav Dovid Pam, Horav Aharon Miller, Horav Chanoch Ehrentreu and Horav Kalman Ochs Shlit’a.
