Why is the Old Testament bloody?

The Old Testament was bloody because there was a lot of killing. According to the records in the Old Testament, in the process of conquering Canaan cities, the Israelis often slaughtered local cities and their residents. In fact, not only the Old Testament history and the Moses era, but also the whole human history is full of wars and killings.

Most of the Old Testament was written by the prophets of Israel and other sages. It was originally compiled from three works written from BC 1200 to BC 100: Torah, Prophet and Anthem. As a whole, the Old Testament is not the work of any prophet or priest, but the crystallization of the collective wisdom of the ancient Jewish nation, and the result of sorting out and collecting Jewish classic documents by the creators.

Translation of ancient languages and the Old Testament;

The two languages used in the Old Testament, Hebrew and Elamite, are two branches of Semitic family. Noah's son's name is Shem, which is the etymology of the word Shem. The original Semu people may have moved from Arabia, and countless immigrants moved to Mesopotamia, Syria, Palestine and parts of Africa, and gradually developed different but related languages.

The earliest Hebrew manuscripts were undoubtedly written in Phoenician, preserved in the inscriptions of Phoenicia and Moab, and some of them were written in ancient words on the Dead Sea scrolls.
