The Koran established a classical Arabic language by 600 CE. Now I don't
consider that ancient by any means. However, for amateurs like myself who
intuit there's some assistance in comparing Hebrew with Arabic (spoken that
is) that getting a transliterated version of the Pentateuch in Arabic would
be mighty insightful. This is all way before RaMBaM/Rashi and closer to the
original Christianity.
If this makes sense, then does anyone know if there's a transliterated
Arabic version of the Pentateuch/Torah? I'm interested because the Koran
loves the Torah. It doesn't replace it all. It does a Talmud Torah
simplistically:) This would give me a great "feel" for the polytheistic,
Jewish, Christian tribes back then in Israel/Iraq/Iran:)
