In this episode of Hebrew Voices, The Ancient Jewish Temple in Elephantine, Nehemia Gordon continues his conversation with Prof. Bezalel Porten about the ancient Jewish temple in southern Egypt where blood sacrifices were offered to the God of Israel! They also look at the letter these Egyptian Jews wrote to the High Priest in Jerusalem and the Samaritan leader in Shechem asking for help to rebuild their temple in Elephantine after it was destroyed in an anti-Jewish race riot by Egyptian sheep-worshipers. Be sure to first listen to Part 1 The Aramaic Name of God.
I look forward to reading your comments!

Re: The Elephantine Temple
This is such incredible information. I was intrigued by the Professor’s name, Bezalel. Have recently been doing research on this name and it means: “in the shadow of El”. Not a coincidence, I think, in light of the Professor’s passionate need to be exact with the details, just like the Bezalel of the tabernacle! Exodus 31:3 – I have filled him with the wisdom of Elohim, in understanding, in knowledge . . .
