It's been writen that Moses "wrote" the first 5 books of the O.T.
In what language? I ask because I have read that writen language was not in use in the
times of Moses, that the 10 Commandments were writen by the "finger of God" while Moses was on the mountain. According to scripture the 10 Commandments were writen by God on stone tablets.
What language? If there were no writen langauges of Moses' day then what langauge would
the words have been writen in?
I am not at all trying to debunk scripture, just asking for you help to determine:
Was there indeed no writen language in use in Moses' day, how could there be tablets
writen by the finger of God?
Moses is credited with "writing" the first five books of the O.T.
Writen by Moses when there was no writen langauge in use?
Writen WHEN? According to scripture Moses was a simple shepard when God sent him back to Egypt to ask that Pharoah "let my people go".
We know that oral tradition was the primary way information was tramsmitted to future generations.
Moses, tho raised an Egyption Prince, was still a humble shepard after he fled Egypt.
Possibly he could read Egyption glyphs but using glyphs to write 10 Commandments would take a lot of room on stone tables, perhaps so much room the tablets could not even be carried by one man.
Can anyone cite sources to explain the writen language that could have been used by Moses to write
the books of the O.T?
Indeed, did Moses have time to write such a huge document while wondering in the desert for 40 years?
I suspect when langauge came into common use that scribe wrote the books in question based on
oral tradition.
