The Torah is the holy book of the Jews and is considered one of the fundamental books of the Jewish religious heritage, containing teachings and laws aimed at regulating the lives of individuals and society. Despite the lofty values it seeks to disseminate, the Torah has been subject to falsification and distortion by some Jews for various purposes, including achieving religious and political interests or consolidating the dominance of certain groups. The motive behind this falsification was linked to the desire to direct the texts to serve specific goals, leading to the emergence of chaos and confusion within the texts. Among the most notable of this chaos are the contradictions contained in some books, such as the Book of Daniel, which exhibit alterations that lack internal consistency. Attempts at textual documentation and verification face significant challenges due to the changes that have occurred in the texts over the centuries. Numerous evidences indicate that falsification has occurred, prompting scholars to delve into the origins of the texts and compare different translations. In the Arabic translation of the Torah, clear errors have emerged that have affected the understanding of the texts, prompting researchers to conduct careful revisions. Examples of these errors in the Arabic translation of the Bible include differences in basic meanings that distort the original content, which requires continuous verification to ensure that the religious and traditional meaning is accurately preserved.
