But we must also understand that the Jewish/Israeli people have had literature since their beginnings as a nation. Moshe wrote the whole of Torah and had the Levites placed the books beside the ark as a witness. Moshe also dictated as the Voice spoke on the mountain. All kings had to write a Torah of his own under the careful eye of a scribe (and that had to begin with Shaul the Benjamite.
