YAKOV LEIB REPLIES:
I'm afraid that's not entirely true. What you're referring to, I think,
is that the "Hebrew Bible" (i.e., Torah) has no _punctuation_ to
delineate _sentences_, not that it has no "spaces" to delineate "words."
I have a Torah Scroll (i.e., the "Hebrew Bible" to which you refer) in
front of me at this very moment and, I assure you, it is not one, long
uninterupted string of Hebrew letters but one long, uninterupted
_sentence_. May I ask the source of your information?
