Old Testament &Qu’ran

Please clearify.

What i was going to say was that perhaps since the OT stories were passed down orally that Mohammed could have heard them and then spoke them as part of the Qur'an, but after I was told it was a verbal revealation my question was mute.

How would an Israelite, in the desert 10 years after exodus, know if Moses either borrowed stories or had them actually revealed.   I have no idea?  unless Moses was like Mohammed and never told a lie I guess you couldn't tell, but could not Christians say the same for Mohammed, 10 years after he died how would an Arab know if Mohammed borrow the stories or had them reavealed?

My question was not a criticism of Moses or the Israelites, but a contextual demonstration of the nature of revelation and prophethood. Once Moses had his prophethood confirmed (believed in), the revelaiton granted to him would be accepted, and given that the revelation was from God, it would hold as a truth that went beyond any narrative that might have survived.
