MOSAIC AGE HIGHLY LITERARY
Moses Could Have written the Israesitish
Law.


At first the Tel eI-Arrarna tablets
we're declared to be forgeries, and Renan
gave expression to the critical"
skeptieism on the subject in his annual
address on oriental discovery. says the
Contemporary Review. Very soon. how
ever. the most stout-hearted champion
Of illiteracy Of the ancient east was
obliged TO yield, and the critics were
forced to admit that on this point, at
all events, they had been il the wrong.
But it was with a bad grace that the adj
mission was made, for il did not require
much penetration 10 see that the dis
eoveTy deprived them Of what l may
term their base Of operations. Just as
Noif's skEjticism in regard to the ace
and authorship of Homer tested on his
belief iu the late date Of tie use OF writ
ing for literary purposes ID Greece, 50
the really strong argument Of the crit
les against the Mosaic age and author
ship of the pentateuch was that neither
Moses nor his contemporaries could
read or write. The Tel el-Amarna tab
lets have come to upset this supposed
fact and 10 show that the Mosaic age
was a highly literary one. II amusing
to watch the undisguised reluctance
with which the critics" have swallowed
the unpalatable fact that, after all,
Moses could have written the Israelitish
law.
