• But Eusebius goes on to say:
• 6Euseb. 14:2 “He says that the Epistle to the Hebrews is the work of Paul, and that it was written to the Hebrews in the Hebrew language; but that Luke translated it carefully and published it for the Greeks, and hence the same style of expression is found in this epistle and in the Acts.”
• Although Eusebius says “the Hebrew language”, it means the Hebrew dialect [of the native language], that is, the Aramaic dialect used by the Hebrew people, the Jews, in Israel. The Greek word used by Eusebius in this passage is not the word glossa, or language, but fona, or sound, i.e. the sound, or pronunciation, used by the Hebrew people, the Jews, in Israel.
