Bible Question: In the beginning of time of the old testament was paper yet invented so that they could keep such detailed notes about what is written in the bible today? |
Bible Answer: In the time of Moses, The Egyptians, where Moses was trianed, they used papyrus scrolls. When they did international correspondence, they used clay tablets with cuneiform writting (see the Amarna taboets, a few years after Moses.) For scratch paper and notes, people used broken Potsherds. Stone carvings were frequently used for permanence and on statues.The invention of paper and a writing system adapted to paper (the proto canaanite writing) changed writing and the alphabet forever. That was about 1200 to 1000 BC. Thus much of the Old testament was written on paper, but not the earliest ones like the five books of Moses. Greentwiga |
