Murad shows 2 instances where the Translators borrowed from the Bible (#03)

He gives two examples where this is the case: 1) In Surah 12:20 it says that Joseph was sold to the Egyptians for "a few dirhams counted out". The word Dirham in Arabic is a coin which didn't come into existence until the caliph Muawiya introduced it sometime after 661 AD. So, this coin didn't even exist during the time of Muhammad (if he in fact lived). So, why would the writers of the Qur'an use a coin which not only didn't exist at the time of Muhammad, but certainly didn't exist during the time of Joseph either, as he lived in 1800 B.C. long before coins were even invented? The reason they used this coin was because they wanted to follow the example of the King James Version of the Bible, which in Genesis 37:28 mentions that Joseph was sold for 20 shekels. The writers of the Qur'an, nor the later translators didn't know that a shekel was not a coin, but was a weighted measure of silver, in fact 0.2 kilograms of silver, the exact price for a slave in 1800 B.C., proving just how accurate the Bible is, especially when compared to the Qur'an. 2) In Surah 36:33 it uses the word "habbah" in Arabic., which in the English translation is rendered "grain", which is the correct translation for that word. But in Surah 21:47 the same word "habbah"" is translated "Mustard Seed", where it is referring to the balance of justice, at the day of judgement, so that "if there be the weight of a mustard seed" is employed as a comparison. Yet that is not what 'habbah' means in Arabic, as it means 'grain'. This same mistake is made in Surah 31:16 where the same word 'habbah' is translated once again as 'mustard seed' when showing what Allah is capable of bringing forth. But it should be grain. So, why did the translators mis-translate this word twice? The answer is pretty simple. In both of these later verses a comparison is used, similar to the parable of the Kingdom of God as comparable to a Mustard seed, which is one of the smallest of seeds, yet grows to one of the largest trees in the 1st century Judean environment in Matthew 13:31-32. That parable isn't in the Qur'an, but the writers and translators of the Qur'an would have been familiar with that story from the Bible, so they inadvertently suggested the grain was really a mustard seed. Thank goodness Murad is finding these mistakes and pointing them out...doing what any good historian, or linguist should do, return to the period these texts were written and use the proper definitions for these words which were first employed by the authors from that area and from that time period. © Pfander Centre for Apologetics & Polemics - US, July 24, 2018 (108,490) Music: 'Joy at Word' by Musicifiles, from filmmusic-io
