The purpose of the present article is to take the discussion on the Qur̓ānic presence in the Arabic Bible a step further by revealing more evidence of Qur̓ānic interpolations and proposing that there is a possible exegetical dimension to the translation’s use of the Qur̓ān. In demonstrating this, the article focuses on the first version of the Christian-Arabic translation of the Pentateuch rendered from a Syriac Vorlage. It examines the earliest attested manuscript of this version, Sinai MS Arabic 2, dated 939–940 CE. The article offers an attempt to explain the various Qur̓ānic direct quotations and ingenious allusions on exegetical grounds. More generally, the article contributes to Jewish studies by unearthing insights into the Qur̓ān’s potential to interpret the Bible, and by probing the Qur̓ān as a resource for Judaism and Christianity.
