In any case, why does Sam not know Aramaic in particular? It's not that far from Hebrew, and he must know Hebrew, right? In fact, if he doesn't know either one, how would he know which one he's complaining about?

Pre-Biblical, sigh. Just like last night, when I was arguing with an "ancient god" on Sleepy Hollow that my religion was older than his. I'm always a little thrown by Christian views of Jewish things.
