The chart you posted is of Modern Semitic Hebrew script. It is the script familiar to modern readers of the Hebrew (Masoretic) Text. The MT was developed and used roughly between 500 AD and 1300 AD. However, the inscription appears to be written in Middle Semitic or Aramaic text, which is much older, dating from between 500 BC to 1500 BC., and as such is the script in which the original books of the Hebrew Bible are written.

K? I can get those as well. But, the characters shouldn’t be totally and completely divorced from each other.
