Good luck on this one. The bible has been so hacked up due to the Church removing parts it thought were too provocative for the general public and due to translation errors that finding a pure copy would be next to impossible. The Vatican library may be the only place on earth that might even come close to a copy of the original in Aramaic & Greek. Do you read Aramaic or archaic Greek? Those folks who think the bible is the absolute word of God have been so mislead I feel badly for them. But back when the Church was the only authority in most places they had carte blanche to change or remove anything they wanted to from that great book.

The Bible, that is starting from the OT was originally an oral tradition. The first compilation was written about 200 CE. The Torah was translated into Greek in the 2nd or 3rd century BC.
The NT is thought to have been originally written in Aramaic, then to Greek. From the Greek it went into several different translations.
The earliest surviving complete manuscript of the entire Bible is the Codex Amiatinus

The New Testament was not written as a book. It was written largely in the form of personal correspondence to people in widespread geographic areas - Rome, Thessalonica, Corinth, Galatia. It would have been absurd to write to these people in a local language like Aramaic. The New Testament texts were originally written in the universal language of learned people of the time - Greek - which literate people in all localities could read. The only words in the Greek text that were translated from another language are direct quotes from Jesus, which He originally spoke in Aramaic.

the bible did not exist until it was compiled during the time of Constantine . when the books included were chosen by the early
catholic church while burning the books they didn't like .So you see there is no such thing as an original and pure bible.And to my thinking neither the Koran nor bible have ever been pure but began as deceitful and corrupt .

The original Bible was in Hebrew. Check out the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Any Jewish Bookstore in Israel can provide you with one, unfortuantely Islamic Laws prohibit you to receive it unless you are in a non-Islamic country.

I honestly have a concordance that tells the which skill of the unique Greek and Hebrew words of the Bible, yet I have no would desire to honestly learn the languages because of the fact i do no longer understand all of us that speaks those languages. If i'd desire to examine the Bible in its unique languages, i could nevertheless would desire to place self belief in my English to appreciate it; i'd desire to understand Hebrew or Greek in basic terms on the inspiration of the corresponding words in English.
