Again, think about it. :hmm:

I honestly can´t answer that. But in a religion where I am not allowed to eat things like shrimp cocktails, pork chops, lobster thermidor, cheeseburger, prosciutto or salami pizza, smoked eel, sturgeon caviar or steak smothered in cream gravy everything is possible. Think about it!   Sorry...  |

In which year did the first complete version of the Torah appear?
|
About 3500 years ago, on the last day of Moses' life:
"Then Moses wrote this Torah, and gave it to the priests, the descendants of Levi, who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and to all the elders of Israel."
- Deuteronomy 31:9

How old is the oldest existing Torah?
|
About
650 years old.
The leather parchments deteriorate and the ink fades and cracks, rendering the Torah invalid. Writing a Torah requires exactitude. One mistake, even the ink of 2 letters touching one another, invalidates the Torah from being used for obligatory readings. That's how demanding we are in accuracy.
