  • An inscribed altar from the Khirbat Ataruz Moabite sanctuary

    Adam L Bean, Christopher A Rollston et al.ARTICLELevant2018

    A cylindrical stone incense altar inscribed with seven lines of text in two separate inscriptions was discovered in a cultic context during 2010 excavations at Khirbat Ataruz in Jordan. The two short inscriptions are written in Moabite language, using an Early Moabite script datable to the late 9th or early 8th century BCE. Both inscriptions also employ Hieratic numerals. Inscription A appears to tabulate small quantities of metal, possibly for s…

  • The Contribution of Frank Moore Cross to Northwest Semitic Epigraphy

    P Kyle MccarterARTICLEBulletin of the American Schools…2014

    Frank Moore Cross was a transformational figure in Northwest Semitic epigraphy. His work on the Jewish Scripts of the post-exilic period, beginning in the 1950s with the Dead Sea Scrolls, is still the definitive palaeographic statement for the history and dating of Jewish Scripts of the period. His work on Northwest Semitic inscriptions had significant repercussions on the study of the chronology of ancient Judah, and moved that field forward in …

  • An Archaic Ba c l Inscription from Tel Beth-Shemesh

    P Kyle Mccarter, Shlomo Bunimovitz et al.ARTICLETel Aviv2011Cited by: 2References: 2

    Two adjoining fragments of a storage jar bearing an archaic alphabetic inscription were found during the renewed excavations at Tel Beth-Shemesh. Analysis indicates that, though found in separate contexts, the two sherds derived from a common source of predominately late Bronze ii and early iron i materials. A date of 1150–1100 BCE for the provenance of the inscription is most likely. The inscription consists of six or seven alphabetic signs inci…

  • Hebrew

    Open AccessP Kyle MccarterCHAPTERAncient Languages of Syria-Palestin…2008

    Hebrew, the language of ancient Israel and Judah and their descendant Jewish communities, is a Northwest Semitic language. Northwest Semitic and Arabic constitute Central Semitic, which is a subgroup of West Semitic, one of the two primary divisions of the Semitic branch of the larger Afro-Asiatic family (Appendix 1, §§1–2). Within Northwest Semitic, Hebrew is classified as Canaanite as distinct from Aramaic. Other members of the Canaanite subgro…

  • An Abecedary of the Mid-Tenth Century B.C.E. from the Judaean Shephelah

    Ron E Tappy, P Kyle Mccarter et al.ARTICLEBulletin of the American Schools…2006

    Near the conclusion of the 2005 excavation season at Tel Zayit, Israel, the Zeitah Excavations recovered a large stone bearing an incised, two-line inscription. The special importance of the stone derives not only from its archaic alphabetic text (a 22-letter abecedary), but also from its well-defined archaeological context in a structure dating securely to the tenth century B.C.E. The borderland site of Tel Zayit lies in the lowlands district of…

    In 1907, Édouard Dhorme first associated the term ' ēd in Gen. 2:6 with Sumerian id , “the cosmic river.” This identification accords well with the presumed Mesopotamian background to the Yahwistic creation account, and so has enjoyed wide acceptance. The term, as was quickly recognized, also occurs in Job 36:27 with similar force. That this name for the cosmic river was normally pronounced id in Akkadian as well as Sumerian is shown from syllabi…
