Association of Arab Universities Journal for Arts مجلة اتحاد الجامعات العربية للآداب

This research is based on the recent Hebrew translations of the Holy Quran: Al-Adawi and Al-Basul’s translations.

Second, it is because of the inadequacy of the Hebrew language compared with Arabic since the latter has more lexical items with a …
