Abstract
AbstractA refutation of the claims by Scott Stripling et al. regarding the epigraphic analysis and paleographic contents of the folded lead object discovered on Mt. Ebal in 2019 during the wet-sifting of dump piles from a previous archaeological excavation by Adam Zertal. This piece of lead is often referred to as the “Mt. Ebal Curse Tablet”. An article regarding this find, by Stripling et al., titled “You are Cursed by the God YHW:” an early Hebrew inscription from Mt. Ebal”, was published on May 23, 2023, in the Heritage Science journal.
