Review

'Davies is to be warmly congratulated on this work of primary scholarship, which has made full use of the computer revolution, but as an aid to and not a substitute for the painstaking probing which our forefathers have taught us dare not be abandoned.' Society for Old Testament Study

'... now all who have a little Hebrew should be able not only to find a text quickly and check whether the words and names it contains are common or rare but, perhaps most importantly, they will have at their disposal a wider context within which to appraise the wilder and more enthusiastic claims to which from time to time epigraphy ... is prone. All libraries at all catering for theological study should acquire this ... beautifully produced and potentially very valuable work of reference.' The Expository Times

Book Description

This second volume of Ancient Hebrew Inscriptions: Corpus and Concordance provides a comprehensive, up-to-date collection of the numerous texts in ancient Hebrew outside the Bible to have come to the notice of scholars in recent years. The new material includes numerous ostraca from different sites and extensive information about the personal names which were in use in the biblical period. The concordance provides an easy way to discover which Hebrew words and proper names occur in non-biblical sources and so helps to widen the basis for Hebrew language study.
