Min, I can't be bother arguing the ignoramus, but I would like to ask a question from genuine curiosity-based ignorance:
My understanding is that the Torah was first written down in the seventh century bce,in Judea. I also understand that written Hebrew dates from about the tenth century bce. In what language is it most likely the Torah was first written?
The Jewish Babylonian captivity is thought to have ended in 587 bce. How likely is that Jewish scribes would have been writing in Babylonian script? (cuneiform) Umm, didn't Alexander conquer Babylon a few centuries earlier? So perhaps Greek after all?
I'm confused.
