Golden Amulet with Hebrew Prayer
25 / 5
 
http://www.classicalhebrewblog.com/2008/03/25/golden-amulet-...
A 3rd Century CE Roman grave has revealed a startling find- a small golden scroll with the Hebrew prayer, known as the Shema, "Hear, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord is one" (Deuteronomy 6:4). The scroll is a Greek transcription of the prayer, and was found resting in an infant’s grave. This finding may push back by 600 years the evidence of a Jewish Presence in modern day Austria.

A New Seal Found In The Old City Of Jerusalem
28 / 3
http://www.classicalhebrewblog.com/2008/03/16/a-new-seal-fou...
A new biblical seal has been uncovered in the Old City of Jerusalem. The Hebrew name on the seal is "Shlomit" and may have belonged to a women! If true this is exciting evidence of women's involvement in the Palace Administration of the King's of Judah, and tells us that women held positions of authority! The cultic scene on the seal is reminiscent of Babylonian icons and teaches us more about the connection with Judah and the Babylonian Empire.

This name is first attested to outside the bible in the late ninth century Mesha Inscription, where the enemy king of Moab announces “I took the vessels of Yhwh and dragged them before Chemosh” (line 17).

Biblical History - The Patriarchal Age
28 / 3
http://www.classicalhebrewblog.com/2008/02/17/biblical-histo...
The patriarchal age is one of great importance for the people of Israel: it begins with Abraham’s journey, a daring voyage to a strange land led by faith in a then new, single God, who said unto him: “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you” (Genesis 12:1).

Biblical Archeology – The City of Lachish
29 / 2
http://www.classicalhebrewblog.com/2008/02/14/biblical-arche...
The city of Lachish, located in the maritime lowlands of Judea, is first mentioned in the Bible during Joshua’s conquest. After the Gibeonites deceptively made a covenant with Joshua, many of the Canaanite kings were alarmed that they might be conquered with Gibeonite assistance, and therefore set out to fight the Gibeonites. Joshua took over all of these rebellious cities, and Lachish, being one of them, was later part of the territory assigned to the tribe of Judah.

The History Of The Canaanite Pantheon
29 / 2
http://www.classicalhebrewblog.com/2008/02/11/the-canaanite-...
The name Canaanites denotes the inhabitants of the land of Canaan who inhabited the land prior to the Israelite settlement, and remained among the Israelites throughout the First Temple Period. The Bible stresses that the Israelites must stay apart from them, and the Patriarchs set an example for proper behavior by not marrying Canaanite women despite the fact that that would have been the easy and obvious choice.

Discover The Dead Sea Scrolls
29 / 2
http://www.classicalhebrewblog.com/2008/01/17/the-dead-sea-s...
In 1947, by the north-western tip of the Dead Sea, a few Bedouins accidentally stumbled upon what would turn out to be one of the most important archaeological discoveries of the century: the Dead Sea Scrolls. Following this initial discovery of parts of seven scrolls, archaeologists uncovered a huge library, comprised of thousands of scroll fragments in different states of preservation, found in eleven different caves in the vicinity of the ruins called Qumran.
