Aram That Is Greek Syria

"My father was led away to Aram, and he went down to Egypt. Greek: My father left Syria and went down to Egypt."

Bar Hebraeus records the Syriac Peshitta reading “My father was led away to Aram and went down to Egypt,” and gives the Greek equivalent, which renders Aram as “Syria,” in his work on the Old Testament.
