Line 28:
Some Judaic and Christian traditions hold that [[Moses]] — rather than God himself — physically wrote the [[Torah]] or Pentateuch of the [[Hebrew Bible]], although in the process of transcription many thousands of times copyists have allowed errors, or (some suggest) even forgeries in the text to accumulate.<ref>
Tov, Emanuel, ''Textual criticism of the Hebrew Bible'', Uitgeverij Van Gorcum, 2001, p. 213</ref> According to this position, God originally spoke through a select person to reveal his purpose, character and plan for humanity.{{cn}} However, the Bible does record some direct statements from God (i.e.,"Thus says the Lord...", "And God said...", etc.). The significance of most phrases, their parts, grammar, and occasionally individual words, letters and even [[Hebrew cantillation|pronunciation]] in the Hebrew Bible are the subject of many rabbinic [[Baraita of Rabbi Ishmael|discussions]] in the [[Talmud]].
