Yawn. You commonly couldn’t enter good college without knowing Hebrew and ancient Greek in the 1800s America. Non formal educated, but devout Americans used to commonly be able to read Hebrew, especially pastors from solid ( and not so solid) theological institutes.

These men were either Irish Monks, or Magi. I found Hebrew scripture written large on cave walls in Colorado and on the rock walls of anciet Tennessee creek beds. The lines from the OT were from the Pentatuch.

While it is an ancient language, Hebrew was nearly dead until Israel became a state in 1948. It was more common for educated people here in the US to study Latin and some Greek than Hebrew.

If those writings are chipped in rock, they can be dated rather easily.
