Is it true that when somebody was writing the Bible before the printing press came out , that if they made a mistake, they would have to start all over?
That's what I heard, but it doesn't sound true to me. I mean, I understand they had no erasers, and the text was considered most sacred, but it took like 10 years to write out a Bible back then.
I couldn't imagine the agony a person would have to go through starting all over lol.
I hear that rule was especially true with Jews like and theTorah scrolls, so I'd especially like to hear from Jews like @RabbiO or those familiar with the history of making new Torah scrolls back then. Thanks!
