I have no problem with that at all. The original question, however, asked what the hebrew bible itself believed about "inspiration"- and, as i said before, nothing at all. revelation, yes- inspiration, no.

Jim,
What is your understanding of this word "inspiration"
in this context?

The Hebrew Bible is part of the Christian Bible and as
a Christian I am told (and therefore I believe) *ALL*
scripture is God breathed (theopneustos)

Best wishes,
Sujata

there is none. the concept of "inspiration" is a
completely christian notion- and the Hebrew Bible says nothing of it.

A question raised by a recent [and now ended]

discussion: is there any

clear evidence in the Hebrew scriptures or in

Hebrew writings from *before*

the exile that give us a clear picture of how the

ancient Hebrews perceived

inspiration [or whatever you want to call the

process of God causing the

scriptures to be written]. It seems to be assumed

that they viewed

inspiration in one of the ways we do, yet I wonder

if we have any evidence

of that, and if so what it is? I don't want a

reply that tells me what

inspiration is, or to start a discussion on which

current view is correct -

just what actual original evidence we have for an

ancient Hebrew

understanding of it.
