Description
Mount Ebal in Israel. In 2022, Dr. Scott Stripling announced the discovery of a small lead tablet amulet from the altar fill excavated by Adam Zertal. The writing was revealed through CT scanning.
Based on associated pottery found with it, the lead tablet dates anywhere from Iron Age I to the Late Bronze Age and contains the words "Cursed, cursed, cursed - cursed by the God YHWH. You will die cursed. Cursed you will surely die. Cursed by YHWH – cursed, cursed, cursed."
With it being thought to be Late Bronze II age, and as early as 1400 BC according to Dr. Stripling, this pre-dates any known Hebrew script by about 200 years.
The location and date correspond perfectly to Scripture where it states in Deuteronomy 11:29 "Now it shall be, when the LORD your God has brought you into the land which you go to possess, that you shall put the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal." This curse tablet may in fact be the very curse(s) physically placed on Mount Ebal where it was found.
