The [[Old Testament]] is composed of 98.84% Hebrew and 1.16% of it the Old Testament is composed of Aramaic. The [[New Testament]] on the other hand, is composed completely of Koine Greek.
Aramaic, while ironically the least used language in the Bible, was the most common language among the Jews in Northern Palestine during the time [[Jesus Christ]] walked the earth. Only 3 books of the Old Testament use Aramaic in its original script. Those books being [[Book of Daniel|Daniel]] (which is the only book to be majority Aramaic), [[Book of Ezra|Ezra]], and [[Book of Jeremiah|Jeremiah]] [[Bible:Jeremiah 10:11|10:11]] is the only verse in that book to be composed of Aramaic.
