Ancient tablet found on Mt. Ebal

[Doug]

"You are cursed by the God YHW".

 

An early Hebrew inscription from Mount Ebal near Nablus recently underwent x-ray tomographic measurements to reveal the hidden text, predating any previously known Hebrew inscription in Israel by at least 200 years.

 

Joshua 8:30   "It was then that Joshua built an altar on Mount Ebal to Jehovah the God of Israel".
