I believe no one has the original writings, as you have stated, the NT was written in Greek and what we have of the OT is in Hebrew and Greek, do you believe they were written in some unknown language. Have not seen you attempt to enlighten us yet.
My understanding of the books of the bible are this: NT=Greek and Aramaic OT=Hebrew.
However, I do believe the NT was partially written in Hebrew also.
Ancient Hebrew is/was a lost language. The scholars who interpreted the OT even left extensive footnotes denoting passages, words and pronunciations that were unclear or unknown.
But anyways, I would like to know that you are aware of the numerous words that were translated into our modern-day word of "hell".
