9 THE FIRST ARGUMENT:
1 The existence of the Torah, Pentateuch, is not historically
known before King Josiah [of Judah], the son of Amon. The script of
the Pentateuch which was found by a priest called Hilkiah 18 years
after Josiah's ascension to throne is not believable solely on the
grounds that it was found by a priest. Apart from this obvious
fact, this book had again disappeared before the invasion of
Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar [king of Babylon].
2 Not only the Pentateuch, but also all the books of the Old
Testament were destroyed in this historical calamity. History
does not evince any evidence of the existence of these books after
this invasion.
3 According to the Christians the Pentateuch was rewritten by
the Prophet Ezra.
