 Biblical Aramaic
Biblical Aramaic is the form of the Aramaic language that is used in the books of Daniel, Ezra and a few other places in the Hebrew Bible.
See the article on the Aramaic of Jesus for the use of the language in the New Testament.
Aramaic occurs in four discrete places in the Hebrew Bible:

 The Aramaic Language
Aramaic is one of the Semitic languages, an important group of languages known almost from the beginning of human history and including also Arabic, Hebrew, Ethiopic, and Akkadian (ancient Babylonian and Assyrian).
Aramaic was used by the conquering Assyrians as a language of administration communication, and following them by the Babylonian and Persian empires, which ruled from India to Ethiopia, and employed Aramaic as the official language.
Aramaic remained a dominant language for Jewish worship, scholarship, and everyday life for centuries in both the land of Israel and in the diaspora, especially in Babylon.

 A study in the Aramaic Language Of Jesus
Aramaic translations are available for the Hebrew cannon of the Old Testament, known as Hagiographa (Heb.
Not only the Pentateuch was translated into Aramaic for the benefit of the Palestian Jews, there were other Aramaic translations also for the books of the Prophets.
He concluded that Jesus grew up in Aramaic environment, and that He had to use Aramaic in order to be understood by his disciples and the people [28].

 AskWhy! Biblical Languages - Jewish Mythology
Biblical Hebrew is several dialects in the bible, but the number of them is in single figures.
It seems the Essenes had no compunction about using “dwyd” when “dwd” in the bible is the norm, yet if “dwyd” is the later form why were all biblical instances not changed to “dwyd?” Freedman wants it to be respect for the original text when the book was published.
None of those who transmitted the biblical text understood it because the bureacracy of the Persian chancellery had been forgotten when the book was written or re-written—if it was re-written after the destruction of Nehemiah’s library in the Maccabaean war.

 Syriac Bible
The Syriac Old Testament is a translation from the original Hebrew and Aramaic (a different Aramaic dialect from Syriac which is known by the name 'Biblical Aramaic').
Further, the Syriac New Testament is quite unique for it presents the teachings of our Lord in an Aramaic dialect (Syriac) which is akin and would have been mutually comprehensible with the Palestinian dialect of Aramaic in which Christ taught.
Many old Syriac manuscripts of the Biblical texts survive and can be found in the major museums and libraries of the world and of course in the ancient Syriac libraries of the Middle East as well.

 Amazon.com: Books: An Introduction to Aramaic (Resources for Biblical Study, No. 46)
Not only are the Aramaic portions of Ezra and Daniel covered, but the transliterated Aramaic of the New Testament, and the other snippets of Aramaic from the Hebrew Bible are as well.
It is a beginner's grammar--although it does make the explicit claim that one does need a knowledge of Biblical Hebrew before using this work to dive into the Bible's Aramaic (ironically enough, precisely the opposite claim is made in Rosenthal's grammar!).
If you've had biblical Hebrew and want access to the rest of the Bible's text, this is the grammar for you.
