The Moabite Stone (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781024798395)

"The Moabite Stone (the Contemporary Rev.)" presents a detailed analysis of the Mesha Stele, a significant archaeological find from the ancient kingdom of Moab. Authored by George Rawlinson, this work delves into the historical and linguistic importance of the stone, offering a contemporary review of its inscriptions and their implications for understanding the history of the ancient Near East and its relationship to the Old Testament.
