A Further Reading for the Hobab Inscription from Sinai
نویسنده
چکیده
In the Spring 1987 issue of AUSS I examined the important Pro toSinai tic inscription discovered in 1960 by Georg Gers ter. This inscription is located a considerable distance west of the other Proto-Sinaitic inscriptions which cluster around the mines at Serabit el-Khadem.2 Both by its location and by its contents it appears quite distinct from the usual mining inscriptions or dedications written in this script. Its unusual and distinct nature led to my suggestion that it should not be related to the Semitic miners who worked for the Egyptians in the mines at Serabit, but rather that it should be connected historically with the Israelites who took up residence in Sinai after they left Egypt at the time of the Exodus.
