Well, the last line has an exclamation point at the beginning...never mind. Thanks for the post, sorry to be a bother.

Yes, that's normal in modern Hebrew. They borrow question marks too. I've seen it happen in various other alphabets and characters. Modern people want to know when to shout a text.

Definitely, this is not how a First Century Jew would have written the text -- the vowel signs (those little dots all around the consonants) would've been missing also, by the way.
