Just for fun...... Did Moses Invent the Alphabet? https://claudemariottini.com/2010/01/10/did-moses-invent-the-alphabet/ The Code of Hammurabi contained 282 laws and was written in Akkadian, the daily language used by the people of Babylon. http://study.com/academy/lesson/hammurabi-of-babylon-code-summary-stele.html
I think it would have been more than a little harsh to give a people a new set of laws they have to follow but to write them in a language you’ve just invented. In other words perfectly in keeping with the character of the OT God and so entirely viable.
Some scholar tried to tell me that Moses invented the alphabet.. I was just incredulous as I had never heard such a thing. As it turns out he was pulling my leg. Ha. Code of Hammurabi is much earlier than "Moses".
interesting is the code hamurabi like nearly the same story of Noah and the Arch, and they practiced Which testing like in medivial europe 1. throw them cuffed in the water if they survive burn them alive... also close laws to the 10 amendments just with a plenty of Gods.
You want me to call out another poster by name? - - - Updated - - - From the link. According to Jones, “The alphabet originated about the 15th century B.C. in the Middle East, which is about the time and location of the biblical Exodus story, and that all of the Western alphabets derived from that one. Before that writing was essentially pictographic, like cuneiform and hieroglyphics, and not a true alphabet, one symbol for one sound.” Jones also said that “Moses was an educated, literate man, the ideal person to be divinely inspired to create this new writing system.” Bill Sherman, World Religion Writer for the Tulsa Word, quotes Rabbi Yehuda Weg, a Rabbi with the Chabad House, an Orthodox Jewish congregation in Tulsa, who said that Jones’ position runs counter to Jewish tradition. Rabbi Weg said that Jews do not teach that God gave Moses a new writing system along with the Ten Commandments, rather “Our tradition is that the Ten Commandments were written in the Hebrew language, with characters that were older than that. Our tradition is that the Hebrew letters were created from the beginning, the time of Adam.” I believe that Jones’ idea that God gave Moses the first alphabet, although it is an interesting theory, has no historical foundation. One wonders, however, if Moses wrote the Ten Commandments on tablets of stones, what language did he use, Paleo-Hebrew? The earliest Hebrew inscriptions were written in what is known as Paleo-Hebrew. Paleo-Hebrew was one of the many Semitic languages in existence in the Ancient Near East. The Hebrew alphabet was derived from the Phoenician alphabet. Until recently, it was believed that ancient Hebrew was dated to the 10th century B.C. The Tel Zayit abecedary and the Gezer calendar are two examples of early Hebrew writing. However, Professor Gershon Galil of the department of Biblical studies at the University of Haifa has declared that the Khirbet Qeiyafa Inscription, an inscription dating from the 10th century B.C. (the period of King David’s reign), is the most ancient Hebrew inscription found in Israel.
Moses didn't even write anything. He had a secretary called Joe Shua who was present at his meetings with God in the 'tent of meeting'. Well, so the Bible says. Moses went into the tent and conversed with God, then left. 'But his young assistant Joe Shua did not leave the tent'. Presumably writing down the business of the meeting. Exodus 33:7-11.
