Deuteronomy 32:8-9 is “When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance,
when he divided all mankind,
he set up boundaries for the peoples
according to the number of the sons of Israel.[a]
9 For the Lord’s portion is his people,
Jacob his allotted inheritance”. That could be a reference to Jesus for Jacob was renamed Israel.
There is speculation that Avrm may have understood cuneiform as a scribe in Babylon. Moses knew hieroglyphics . Between the two there is a prospect that written material was carried forward.
I believe that Moses may have invented the aleph beth for he was well educated and had the time to do so. Oral histories were a parallel data mode merging eventually with writing. Scripture material as prophesied was gathered by King David into the Pentateuch. The J writer history is interesting. At some point during Solomon or Rehoboam’s court the material was collated.
It’s worth noting the destruction of Jerusalem as a religious center by the Babylonians during the Prophet Jeremiah’s day. Certainly Israelites were not always on the same page of devotion to God as one sees when the golden calf was poured in the wilderness. The Old Testament has so many warnings to Israel about being reprobate it need not be commented on.
