On a site in modern-day Israel, academics believe they’ve found the oldest Hebrew text ever discovered, with an apparent link to a scene described in the Old Testament. The text is described as a “curse tablet” — with an inscription one might expect to find in some of the darker passages of the Old Testament. “You are cursed by the God YHW,” the text reads — using the sacred Hebrew name for God. “You will die cursed—cursed you will surely die. Cursed you are by yhw-cursed,” the tablet reads, according to the Jewish News Syndicate. *** Reference: https://www.jewishpress.com/news/archaeology-news/scholars-expound-on-mount-ebal-curse-tablet-with-oldest-hebrew-text/2023/05/12/
