Why, what do you think G-d speaking to people - Avraham, Yitzchak,
Adam, Noach, Moshe, etc. - is?
Shoshanna
there is none. the concept of "inspiration" is a completely christian
notion- and the Hebrew Bible says nothing of it.
Best,

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.
