The oldest texts of the New Testament books are written in Greek.

Another View:
This is a belief of some who consider that the Sumerian/Akkadian writings preceded The Bible. But similarities of storylines does not confirm descent. We are told that the Scripture is God's inspired word to mankind carried orally or on clay tablets until circa 1446 BC when codification began with Moses. In the 1st Century AD, Jesus confirmed this. The Sumerian writings were long dormant (probably 2100 BC). The biblical writings continued onward to about 100 AD with a 400 year gap between Old and New Testaments.
Based on the above then, I would say the Sumerian writings were inspired by the biblical accounts.

Yes, the Bible is open to interpretation as different individuals and religious groups may interpret its teachings and messages in various ways based on their beliefs, traditions, and understanding of the text.
