Hebrew Voices #150 – The Oldest Hebrew Inscription? Part 1
You are listening to Hebrew Voices with Nehemia Gordon. Thank you for supporting Nehemia Gordon's Makor Hebrew Foundation. Learn more at NehemiasWall.com.
Nehemia: But I'm so excited about this! Because if it is real, it proves so many things that have been doubted by many scholars.
Frankie: Right!
Nehemia: Shalom and welcome to Hebrew Voices! I'm here today with Frankie Snyder, who I have dubbed The Temple Floor Lady. She has worked in archaeology for many years and is really a specialist in sifting material. Shalom Frankie.
Frankie: Hello.
Nehemia: Frankie is affiliated with the City of David National Park in Jerusalem and also is an independent researcher. Today we're going to talk about what may be the greatest find of the 21st century to date, which is the Mount Ebal Curse Tablet. Which you actually discovered, meaning, you physically are the one who discovered it.
Frankie: I was the one who physically discovered it on my sifting tray, yes.
Nehemia: So, tell us first - what is a sifting tray? I've actually done the sifting, when you were working with the Temple Mount Sifting Project. So I've done it, and a lot of people have done it, but I think a lot of people in the audience have no idea what that is. How is sifting different than regular archaeological work? And then dry sifting and wet sifting… you're an expert on this, tell us about this.

Loved the video Nehemiah, when can we expect to see part 2?
Really amazing! I remember Frankie as the Temple Floor Lady. I’d like to know if those tiles were ever photographed 1:1 for a Coffee Table Book? It sure would make a fascinating fund-raiser (I’d buy one!).
About a year ago, there was a story circulating online that claimed the letters יהו had naturally formed by the plants growing on the side of the Eastern wall in the old city of Jerusalem. If God’s name can also be spelled with the יהו variant, then does that mean God wrote His name on the Eastern Wall in Jerusalem? Dr. Gordon it would be interesting to hear your thoughts concerning the writing of Gods name on the wall.
Thanks very much! I read an article about this from Aaron Lipkin in mid-Nov. Wonderful that there are 2 witnesses!
Finally Nehemiah, thank you so much!! I have been waiting so long for your thoughts on this subject.
