264 EXTRABIBLICAL SOURCES Inscriptions General 1121 Giovanni Revelation. The driving force behind amillennialism, its strong affirmation of the vic- tory of right over wrong in world history, is commendable. But it is difficult to apply Rev 20 – the binding of Satan – to the Christian era. The plain reading of the text, the escalating nature of the warfare between Christ and Satan, the successive annihi- lations of the enemies of God in chapters 17–20, the progressive nature of the tri- umphs of Christ and his saints, as well as the strong structural evidences for the unity of the millennial vision – all seem to favour the sequential reading of Rev 19–20. Therefore, Neall proposes that Rev 20 be seen as consummated rather than inaugu- rated eschatology. AUSS 43/1 (2005) 185–210 EXTRABIBLICAL SOURCES Inscriptions General 1121 Giovanni Garbini, Introduzione all’epigrafia semitica This handbook surveys the history of Semitic epigraphic studies (with its golden age of discoveries, 1850–1915), the origins of the alphabet, and the various writing systems (to the exclusion of Akkadian cuneiform writing). Ancient Hebrew inscriptions are dealt with on pp. 120–128. Other inscriptions of biblical interest, mentioned or discussed, include the Mesha stela (pp. 107–108), the Deir Alla text (pp. 119–120), and the Gezer calendar (p. 98). Many illustrations document the variety of letters and scribal traditions. Studi sul Vicino Oriente antico 4; Paideia Editrice, Brescia (2006) 1–417 (BL) 1122 Bernd Janowski et al. (eds.), Staatsverträge, Herrscherinschriften und andere Dokumente zur politischen Geschichte This volume shows two things: the astonishing vitality of German scholarship on Egypt and the ancient Near East, and the continuing “Old Testament umbrella” used for printing and marketing collections of annotated translations of ancient source materi- als. A wide range of ancient sources – Hittite, Egyptian, Ugaritic, Akkadian, Sabean, etc. – are included in the attractive volume. Here is a list of those texts that are of particular interest to biblical scholarship: the Egyptian stela of Beth-shean (dating from the 13th century BCE, still on display in the 10th century BCE; pp. 221ff.); the report on Sennacherib’s Palestinian campaign of 701 BCE (the Rassam cylinder, p. 67ff.); the Ammonite Amminadab inscription (the so-called bottle inscription of ca. 600 BCE; p. 314); Jewish inscriptions on coins (pp. 321–330, translated and annotated by I. Kottsieper). Most welcome are the maps inserted as the well-produced volume’s end- papers. One would hope that a later volume in the series offers an index (which is lacking in the present volume) and a drawing of better quality than the one repro- duced on p. 250. May many users explore the wealth of this very rich collection! Texte aus der Umwelt des Alten Testaments.

Each item is documented by a photo, a line drawing, a transcription, and a com- mentary in modern Hebrew. All the inscriptions are also given with Masoretic vowels. In the preface, Ahituv comments on recent debates about forged inscriptions. As a result, he has omitted all the inscriptions from the Mousaieff collection. Several indexes and a glossary provide excellent guidance. All scholars working on inscriptions should have this important resource. The Biblical Encyclopedia Library 21; Mosad Bialiq, Jerusalem (2005) XIV/1–465 (BL) 1124 Avi Shveka, Arad Ostracon No. 7: In Search of the True Solution to the Riddle As commonly interpreted, ostracon 7 from Tel Arad orders Elyashib – the comman- der of the Judean fortress of Arad – to issue supplies for a troop of soldiers who were supposed to pass through Arad at the first day of the tenth month, and to record that event at the second of the month. This one-day delay has been a riddle for research. The common interpretation of the letter explains it by the assumption that it reflects the custom to rest from work on the first of the month. This paper suggests a new understanding of the ostracon, according to which Elyashib was not ordered to delay the recording of the issue, but rather to falsify it; he was to write down that the issue took place in the second of the month, while it was actually done in the first. The reason for that was obviously the will to prevent a clash with people who would not have seen the desecration of the holy in a good light – probably the priests who served in the Arad temple.

IEJ 55/2 (2005) 205–208 (WZ) 1127 Bruce Routledge, Mesha and the Naming of Names The image of Moab portrayed in the Mesha inscription is multicentric in that it rec- ognizes political identities below that of the state, and seems to incorporate them into the concept of Moab, rather than replace them with this concept. In this way, Moab in the Mesha inscription differs from the classic model of the nation-state as a unified 265.

Abstract Piety, Practice, and Politics: Ritual and Agency in the Late Bronze Southern Levant by Dana Douglas DePietro Doctor of Philosophy in Near Eastern Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Marian Feldman, Chair Striking changes in the archaeological record of the southern Levant during the final years of the Late Bronze Age have long fascinated scholars interested in the region and period. Attempts to explain the emergence of new forms of Canaanite material culture have typically cited external factors such as Egyptian political domination as the driving force behind culture change, relying on theoretical models of acculturation, elite-emulation and center-periphery theory. While these approaches can be useful in explaining some dimensions of culture-contact, they are limited by their assumption of a unidirectional flow of power and influence from dominant core societies to passive peripheries.

  • Three Conquests of Canaan
    ÅA Wars in the Middle East are almost an every day part of Eero Junkkaala:of Three Canaan Conquests our lives, and undeniably the history of war in this area is very long indeed. This study examines three such wars, all of which were directed against the Land of Canaan. Two campaigns were conducted by Egyptian Pharaohs and one by the Israelites. The question considered being Eero Junkkaala whether or not these wars really took place. This study gives one methodological viewpoint to answer this ques- tion. The author studies the archaeology of all the geo- Three Conquests of Canaan graphical sites mentioned in the lists of Thutmosis III and A Comparative Study of Two Egyptian Military Campaigns and Shishak and compares them with the cities mentioned in Joshua 10-12 in the Light of Recent Archaeological Evidence the Conquest stories in the Book of Joshua. Altogether 116 sites were studied, and the com- parison between the texts and the archaeological results offered a possibility of establishing whether the cities mentioned, in the sources in question, were inhabited, and, furthermore, might have been destroyed during the time of the Pharaohs and the biblical settlement pe- riod. Despite the nature of the two written sources being so very different it was possible to make a comparative study. This study gives a fresh view on the fierce discus- sion concerning the emergence of the Israelites. It also challenges both Egyptological and biblical studies to use the written texts and the archaeological material togeth- er so that they are not so separated from each other, as is often the case.

Chapter 7 Israelite Inscriptions from the Time of Jeremiah and Lehi Dana M. Pike The greater the number of sources the better when investi- gating the history and culture of people in antiquity. Narrative and prophetic texts in the Bible and 1 Nephi have great value in helping us understand the milieu in which Jeremiah and Lehi received and fulfilled their prophetic missions, but these records are not our only documentary sources. A number of Israelite inscriptions dating to the period of 640–586 b.c., the general time of Jeremiah and Lehi, provide additional glimpses into this pivotal and primarily tragic period in Israelite history. The number of inscriptions discovered from ancient Israel and its immediate neighbors—Ammon, Moab, Edom, Philistia, and Phoenicia—pales in comparison to the bountiful harvest of texts from ancient Assyria, Babylonia, and Egypt.

  • The Role of the Philistines in the Hebrew Bible*
    Teresianum 48 (1997/1) 373-385 THE ROLE OF THE PHILISTINES IN THE HEBREW BIBLE* GEORGE J. GATGOUNIS II Although hope for discovery is high among some archeolo- gists,1 Philistine sources for their history, law, and politics are not yet extant.2 Currently, the fullest single source for study of the Philistines is the Hebrew Bible.3 The composition, transmis­ sion, and historical point of view of the biblical record, however, are outside the parameters of this study. The focus of this study is not how or why the Hebrews chronicled the Philistines the way they did, but what they wrote about the Philistines. This study is a capsule of the biblical record. Historical and archeo­ logical allusions are, however, interspersed to inform the bibli­ cal record. According to the Hebrew Bible, the Philistines mi­ * Table of Abbreviations: Ancient Near Eastern Text: ANET; Biblical Archeologist: BA; Biblical Ar- cheologist Review: BAR; Cambridge Ancient History: CAH; Eretz-Israel: E-I; Encyclopedia Britannica: EB; Journal of Egyptian Archeology: JEA; Journal of Near Eastern Studies: JNES; Journal of the Study of the Old Testament: JSOT; Palestine Exploration Fund Quarterly Statement: PEFQSt; Vetus Testamentum: VT; Westminster Theological Journal: WTS. 1 Cf.

Stager is hopeful: When we do discover Philistine texts at Ashkelon or elsewhere in Philistia... those texts will be in Mycenaean Greek (that is, in Linear B or same related script). At that moment, we will be able to recover another lost civilization for world history.

  • Assembling the Iron Age Levant: the Archaeology of Communities, Polities, and Imperial Peripheries
    J Archaeol Res (2016) 24:373–420 DOI 10.1007/s10814-016-9093-8 Assembling the Iron Age Levant: The Archaeology of Communities, Polities, and Imperial Peripheries Benjamin W. Porter1 Published online: 5 March 2016 © Springer Science+Business Media New York 2016 Abstract Archaeological research on the Iron Age (1200–500 BC) Levant, a narrow strip of land bounded by the Mediterranean Sea and the Arabian Desert, has been balkanized into smaller culture historical zones structured by modern national borders and disciplinary schools. One consequence of this division has been an inability to articulate broader research themes that span the wider region. This article reviews scholarly debates over the past two decades and identifies shared research interests in issues such as ethnogenesis, the development of territorial polities, economic intensification, and divergent responses to imperial interventions. The broader contributions that Iron Age Levantine archaeology offers global archaeological inquiry become apparent when the evidence from different corners of the region is assembled. Keywords Empire · Ethnicity · Middle East · State Introduction The Levantine Iron Age (c. 1200–500 BC) was a transformative historical period that began with the decline of Bronze Age societies throughout the Eastern Mediterranean and concluded with the collapse of Babylonian imperial rule at the end of the sixth century BC. Sandwiched between Mesopotamia and the Mediterranean Sea on the east and west, and Anatolia and Egypt on the north and south (Figs. 1 and 2), respectively, a patchwork of Levantine societies gradually established political polities, only to see them dismantled and reshaped in the wake & Benjamin W.
