The "original' scripts or the 'oldest' scripts?
Who's to say..

Regardless..
The written Hebrew was composed entirely of consonants, without any points or marks standing for vowels..
The books composing the Old Testament were not divided into chapters or verses, and no system of punctuation was known...
so anything like accuracy was impossible..

Those guys probably set there saying, "Hmmmm.. maybe this is what it means."
