Our oldest textual witnesses come from the DSS and date to, roughly, the second century B.C.E. Meanwhile, the oldest Masoretic text dates to some nine centuries later.

What I am referring to is that the Hebrew bible is written in Hebrew, not an interpretation of it.

And yet scholars often resort to cognate studies to understand what the text means; elsewhere they simply note: "Hebrew meaning uncertain." Big Grin
