Quote from The Torah

The Torah: A Beginner’s Guide

Oneworld Publications, London, England, 2011             200 pages


Although it might be obvious to some, we should first note that the books of the Torah were not composed in English. Rather, the Torah is a Hebrew collection of writings. While it is possible that some of the stories and materials found in these books were originally handed down in another language . . . there is no known record of this; the Torah as we know it was composed and preserves in the language of the Israelite people in antiquity: Hebrew. (p. 8)
