Information on this issue can be deduced from One of the inscriptions mentions “the King of Judah” and Hebrew inscriptions from the final phase of the first Temple another “the house of YHWH,” referring to the Temple in period. We report our investigation of 16 inscriptions from the Jerusalem. Most of the provision orders that mention the Kittiyim— Judahite desert fortress of Arad, dated ca. 600 BCE—the eve of apparently a Greek mercenary unit (7)—were found on the floor ’ Nebuchadnezzar s destruction of Jerusalem.

  • Tomb Conference Hand-Out-1
    Jewish Views of the After-Life and Burial Practices in Second Temple Judaism January 15, 2008 Evaluating the Talpiot Tomb in Context Mishkenot Shaʼananim Various Scripts among the Ossuaries of the Talpiot Tomb Stephen Pfann, Ph.D. Besides the natural distinctions in personal handwriting from one inscription to another, there are also distinct, standard styles of scripts that have been used among the ossuaries. A general distinction can be made between styles that emulate or are influenced by normal “ink on paper” handwriting and those that are “lapidary” in character. Styles influenced by “ink on paper” handwriting come in formal, semi-formal, semi-cursive and cursive scripts. Formal script is reflected in CJO 121 and CJO 702. Cursive script endeavors to create letters without lifting the pen or stylus. The best example of this form of script is that of DF 40. This closely resembles the name “Yeshua‘ (?)” in ossuary CJO 704 from the Talpiot Tomb. The “lapidary scripts” are standard for inscriptions which have been deeply engraved in stone. What tend to be gently curved lines in handwritten scripts tend to be straightened out in lapidary script. There are both formal and informal forms of this script that usually can be distinguished by uniformity and ornamentation. The more ornamented forms tend to have triangular, often hollow serifs (as in the Mariah, Yoseh, and Mattiah inscriptions in the Talpiot Tomb). The lines of the less elaborate lapidary styles tend to appear stick-like, made up of distinct separate strokes and without serif ornamentation (cf. especially DF 29 and “Yehosef” of the CJO 704 Talpiot Tomb inscription; also pertinent is CJO 9).

  • Old Phrygian Inscriptions from Gordion: Toward A
    OLD PHRYGIAN INSCRIPTIONSFROM GORDION: TOWARD A HISTORY OF THE PHRYGIAN ALPHABET1 (PLATES 67-74) JR HRYYSCarpenter's discussion in 1933 of the date of the Greektakeover of the Phoenician alphabet 2 stimulated a good deal of comment at the time, most of it attacking his late dating of the event.3 Some of the attacks were ill-founded and have been refuted.4 But with the passage of time Carpenter's modification of his original thesis, putting back the date of the takeover from the last quarter to the middle of the eighth century, has quietly gained wide acceptance.5 The excavations of Sir Leonard Woolley in 1936-37 at Al Mina by the mouth of the Orontes River have turned up evidence for a permanent Greek trading settle- ment of the eighth century before Christ, situated in a Semitic-speaking and a Semitic- writing land-a bilingual environment which Carpenter considered essential for the transmission of alphabetic writing from a Semitic- to a Greek-speakingpeople. Thus to Carpenter's date of ca. 750 B.C. there has been added a place which would seem to fulfill the conditions necessary for such a takeover, perhaps only one of a series of Greek settlements on the Levantine coast.6 The time, around 750 B.C., the required 1The fifty-one inscriptions presented here include eight which have appeared in Gordion preliminary reports. It is perhaps well (though repetitive) that all the Phrygian texts appear together in one place so that they may be conveniently available to those interested. A few brief Phrygian inscriptions which add little or nothing to the corpus are omitted here.

  • The Origins and Development of the Waw- Consecutive
    Hebrew Studies 34 (1993) 202 Reviews enough depth and clarity to provide a helpful entre into the world of the text for the would be reader. As mentioned above, Skehan's translation is an adaptation of the NAB, which has the advantage of being a clear, straightforward version while never being lyrical in its rendition of Ben Sira's poetry. The Notes, which are consistently brief, chiefly discuss textual variants among the various Greek manuscripts and the Hebrew manuscripts from Qumran. Following the pattern of many Anchor Bible volumes, the Commentary is mostly a technical discussion of aspects of translation with helpful com­ ments to illuminate the historical, social, theological environment in which the book was produced. As a result, it is primarily useful to the expert or the student of translation rather than the pastor or layperson seeking ser­ mon material or spiritual guidance. Di LelIa's prose is clear and readable throughout, though on occasion his style becomes repetitious (e.g., pp. 290- 303 where almost every paragraph begins with "The next poem ... "). In summary, Di LelIa and Skehan have produced a useful work that represents a worthy addition to the Anchor Bible series and will provide the basis of much fruitful work for many years to come.

Atlanta: Scholars, 1991. Cloth, $24.95. In the introduction to this slender volume, Mark Smith states very clearly, "The main purpose of this presentation is to address three histor­ ical questions: (1) the grammatical origins of the waw-consecutive; (2) the development of the form in Biblical Hebrew prose; and (3) the distribution of the form in the Hebrew texts of Qumran" (p.

  • The Date of the Siloam Inscription
    III. THE DATE OF THE SILOAM INSCRIPTION. PROFESSOR SAYCE has, i believe, overlooked certain considerations which bear on the date to be assigned to the Siloam inscription. On p. 145, he gives it as his opinion that it represents an earlier stage of the Semitic alphabet than the Moabite Stone, and he assigns it with some confidence to the time of Solomon. On p. 152, however, with his usual candour, he draws attention to an historical argument of great weight, brought forward by Dr. Neubauer, which, would bring the date down to the reign of Ahaz. But the palreographical evidence, he argues, is "wholly" in favour of the earlier date. On the other hand, I think that it may be maintained that the palreo­ graphical probabilites, as well as the historical evidence, are in favour of the 4tter date. The Moabite stone belongs to the beginning of the 9th century B.c. If the Siloam inscription is of the time of Solomon, it would belong to the beginning of the lOth century, if to the time of Ahaz to the middle of the Sth. Here then is a very definite issue. To the practised eye of the palreographer, there ought to be no great difficulty in deciding whether the inscription is either a century older, or more than a century later than the reign of Mesha. The sole argument urged by Professor Sayce in favour of the earlier date is that three of the Siloam letters, tsadhe, waw, and zayi"n, seem to him of more archaic forms than on the Moabite Stone.

  • New Hebrew Text of Ben Sira Chapter 1 in Ms a (Ts 12.863)
    NEW HEBREW TEXT OF BEN SIRA CHAPTER 1 IN MS A (T-S 12.863) (1) Summary The article proposes a reading of some of the offset letters in Hebrew Ms A, that is, the letters that have transferred from the preceding and still missing first folio page of the manuscript. Among other things, the article proposes that the offset letters in Ms A I recto, lines 1-4 are the remnants of Ben Sira chapter 1, the Hebrew text of which is not otherwise known. Surpris- ingly, the Hebrew text matches closely the Syriac translation at the end of chapter 1 and not the Greek. The Syriac translation contains what are consid- ered to be secondary, later additions. It is this additional material that is reflected in the offset Hebrew letters of Ms A I recto, lines 1-4. 1. Introduction N the Hebrew Ben Sira manuscript commonly titled Ms A, one finds traces of reversed Hebrew letters, letters which are the mirror Iimage of how we expect them. These traces of letters are found above, beneath, and overlapping with the letters that are correctly ori- ented. The traces of reversed letters are the result of two separate phenomena: 1) ink bleeding through the paper from the opposite side of the same manuscript sheet and 2) ink being transferred from the opposite, facing page of the manuscript, what is called “offset” (i.e., ink is transferred from the verso of one page to the recto of the next page and vice versa). (2) Although both phenomena result in letter (1) I wish to thank my many colleagues who offered observations and sugges- tions.
