Writing
Writing is the art of recording thought through permanent symbols on materials such as stone, clay, wood, skin, or papyrus. It was known in biblical times for preserving laws, records, letters, names, and the inspired Scriptures.
Biblical Usage
Writing appears in the biblical record from the command to record Amalek’s attack. Scripture mentions written laws, books, names, letters, contracts, and prophetic or visionary writing. The inspired books of Moses are described as the most ancient extant writings in the supplied material.
