I’m confused...

“Judge the wi[dow] and the sla[ve]?”

They translated it from Ancient Hebrew, but there certain English letters missing?

usually, when they parenthetically quote something like this from pottery, the whole letters are missing from the pottery sherd and they are filling in the gaps with assumptions of what is most logically missing. Sometimes it is because we have other documents with equivalent writings.
