OK, lets look at Tobit, for example. What evidence exists that it was first written in Hebrew?
Sorry, at what?
Tobit, one of the histories. It was part of the Septuagint, and was
considered part of the cannon at the time of Jesus. Well, not by the
Sagacees (sp) Or, Macabees would be another history that was originally
written in Greek. IIRC, Jonah was originally written in Greek too; but was
translated into Hebrew. It was written during the Greek occupation of
Judea.
Who cares what language the ranting of crazy people was first written down in? Crazy ranting translated is still crazy ranting :)
