Some of the learned Jews of Madina, who called themselves rabbies and doctors of the LAW, wanted to keep back the knowledge of the s c r i p ture about the promised prophet Mohammad. They thought, confirming the prophet by his signs and symptoms that are prophesied in the BIBLE might endanger their power and advantages in that Jewish circle, So they palmed out their own writing for the Message of God, Which could bring them a miserable profit for the time being, and at the high price of losing their own souls! Many of the Jews, even if they could read or write, were no better than illiterates; and having heard the symptoms of the prophet from their fathers or grandfathers, they asked their rabbies about it, and they slyly rehearsed to them what they had written with their own hands as the writings of the s c r i p tures and the Message of God.
