The language in which the Torah was written:

 

It is not known for sure what language Moses wrote the Torah in. Supposing that it was Hebrew, undoubtedly it must have been considerably different from the Hebrew of the holy text available now. At the time Ezra collected and wrote the texts of the Hebraic Old Testament—between Moses and Ezra about one thousand years had elapsed—the language, like all the languages of the world, must have undergone drastic development. Yet there remained some evidence from Old Hebrew, the most famous of which is the poem “Deborah” that is based on Chapter Five of the Book of Judges. Although this text was not safe from the impact of time on its utterances either, its narration by a long chain of successive narrators and its being a metrical soul-stirring lyric made it preserve a lot of the features of its original language, which seems to be older and more Bedouin-like than the language of the Torah itself.[1]

 

From what has been presented above it becomes manifest that the Old Testament (Torah) has no historical support that proves its successive transmission, which would otherwise be relied upon in verifying the information occurring in it. Rather, corruption and alteration deeply characterize it.
