Seth Sanders on the Jerusalem cuneiform fragment etc.
CUNEIFORM DAY! At his blog, Serving the Word, Seth Sanders has a discussion of the Amarna letters from Jerusalem (Consider Jerusalem! The Political Status of Jerusalem in the 14th Century B.C.E.); raises an important linguistic point regarding the new cuneiform fragment from Jerusalem ((Relatively) Clear New Linguistic Light on the Jerusalem Fragment); and has a post on the current discussion of the Canaanite-language influence on some of the Amarna letters (Hebrew's Early Ancestors and the Beginnings of International Relations: A Context for the Jerusalem Fragment).
