I have a question…I just watched a 4 part series on Dr. Miles Jones’ “Writing of God” YT page on a recent discovery of a lead writing tablet found on Mount Ebal listing curses. The writing on the tablet, which is proto-alphabetic, contains the Name of God…which written with only 3 letters: Yod Hey Vav. My understanding (which could be in error) is that this proto-alphabetic script is the script taught by God to Moses and then to the people or very close to it. My question (really 2) is this: When was the 4th letter added to God’s Name and why was it added?
I actually purchased a framed section of an old Torah scroll from exodus 40 for my husband for Hanukkah. It is a very cherished piece for us. I hope it wasn’t cut out deliberately
Very interesting conversation. Never a dull moment when Dr. Nehemia Gordon is involved. Thank you!
Wow!!! I am always in awe of your discoveries, and teachings. Thank you. Be blessed.
Marc Michaels is always very interesting. And so smart (well, of course he’s smart; he has a British accent 🙂 )
