Shortage in Jerusalem the text in older Hebrew language

One has been in the excavations that were carried out in Jerusalem, a ceramics piece in which one is recorded the one that would be the inscription, in Hebrew language, older open pie until the moment.

The finding took place in an old town of the city and could shed light on the culture and the language of the Earth Santa during the Biblical time.

Yossi Garfinkel, archaeologist of the Hebrew University in charge of the new excavation in the locality of Hirbet Queiyafa, commented that the piece contains five lines of characters written does three thousand years and, the ruins of the fortified establishment in which it was found, are indications that a powerful Israelite kingdom existed there at the time of King David. Nevertheless, other experts doubt the interpretation of Garfinkel and suggest is difficult to conclude that the text is written in Hebrew and not in a spoken similar language at the time in the region.

The archaeologist of the University explained that he bases his interpretation on a verb of three letters that means “to do” and that would be a word that “only exists in Hebrew”. 

“That takes to us to think that this is Hebrew, and that this is the Hebrew inscription in older open pie until the moment”, it indicated Garfinkel.

The writing, that the archaeologist maintains corresponds to a letter, is between 100 and 200 years older than known texts in Hebrew more important until the moment. Even, the famous manuscripts of the Dead Sea that were written near 850 years later.

The found piece will remain kept in the strong box from a university while a group of specialists tries to translate the text, a task that will take months.

  1. I believe that he is hebrew, since because the Hebrew is, she was and it has been a sagrada language, but nowadays so many judaisantes groups exist that they hate our sagrada Hebrew language! , but the book of nev'ím in yeshayáhu chapter 40 says; dvár elohéinu yakúm leolám (the word of our God remains for always)

  2. If we go to Bereshit 11:1 we found that in all the earth not habia but a single language from the Creation because therefore it affirms YHWH to it in its Torah, soon the appearance of this written small board is not strange thing but a confirmation of which the Hebrew always has been the original language whereupon I speak YHWH to I generate human.
