Almost daily, new artifacts and inscriptions are announced that will have an impact on how the Bible is read and understood. Following Meir Lubetski's Sheffield Phoenix Press collection 'New Seals and Inscriptions, Hebrew, Idumean and Cuneiform' in 2007 and his Festschrift, 'Visions of Life in Biblical Times' in 2015, the present volume garners papers from a wide and distinguished panel of specialists in the Ancient Near East that revisit former assumptions and present new insights on the relevance of its material culture to the Bible. Among the papers, Alan Millard reviews the issue of the use of the early alphabets, André Lemaire revisits the Mesha stele (the Moabite Stone), and Pieter Gert van der Veen takes a fresh look at the seal of Shema with its famous lion (still adorning the cover of the 'Journal for the Study of the Old Testament'). Bezalel Porten contributes a fascinating study, illustrated by twenty colour diagrams, of documents on papyrus or ostraca requesting provisions from storerooms-an insight into the practicalities of daily administrative life in Egypt, Idumea and Israel. There are papers also on the arks of the Hebrew Bible (Yigal Levin), on alleged identifications of Hebrew kings in inscriptions (Lawrence Mykytiuk), on literary images in the Tell Fekheriye inscription and the book of Lamentations (Gideon Kotzé) and on Judaean pillar figurines of women that are ubiquitous in archaeological excavations from Iron Age Judah. 'Epigraphy, Iconography, and the Bible', in sum, is something of a cornucopia of new and revised data about the Hebrew Bible in its ancient context, intelligible to scholars, students and a more general public alike."--Back cover. 546 English texts, with passages in Arabic, Hebrew, Syriac, and Greek with parallel English translations from the Arabic, Hebrew, and Greek. 630 00 Bible. |pOld Testament |xAntiquities. 630 07 Bible. |pOld Testament |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01808092 650 0 Material culture |zMiddle East. 650 0 Material culture |xReligious aspects. 650 6 Culture matérielle |xAspect religieux. 650 7 Antiquities. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00810745 650 7 Material culture. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01011739 650 7 Material culture |xReligious aspects. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01766106 651 7 Middle East. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01241586 700 1 Lubetski, Meir, |eeditor. 700 1 Lubetski, Edith, |eeditor. 830 0 Hebrew Bible monographs ; |v98. 902 010003898 |wcopy |120240531093320.0 910 |cF0603mon |d3110-99 914 (OCoLC)on1291697920 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20240710 |eprocessed |f1291697920 960 |o1 |zUSD 961 |fDH |m311099 |nCloth 980 17798129 |i130.00 982 |cf 984 20240111 |b101852
