[Isaac Fried <if AT math.bu.edu>]

What Moses "wrote" (certainly not much could be fitted on the two tablets that he brought down from mount Sinai (Ex. 24:12), nor on the stones erected on mount Eibal (Deut.  27:8), nor on the door and gate posts (Deut. 11:20)), and what kind of language he spoke is unknown. We deal here only with what we have before us now.

We also firmly resist any attempt to drag us into "Akkadian", "Ugaritic", or "Hurrian".

thus, it is very difficult for me to accept a conjecture that the law of moses was written in any language 
but hebrew, albeit presented without the shred of real evidence.
