Hebrew of the Late Second Temple Period (Studies on the Texts of the Desert of Judah, #114)
The Hebrew of the Late Second Temple Period is directly attested in the Scrolls from Qumran and other manuscripts discovered in the Judaean Desert. Indirectly, it is also found in some manuscripts copied in later times, which still preserve linguistic elements of the Hebrew from the period in which the texts were authored. Often referred to as the Hebrew of the Dead Sea Scrolls or Qumran Hebrew, and positioned chronologically between Biblical Hebrew and Mishnaic Hebrew, its nature remains disput...
Literate Culture and Tenth-Century Canaan
Winner of the 2009 Frank Moore Cross award from The American Schools of Oriental Research (ASOR) On the final day of the 2005 excavation at Tel Zayit, archaeologists discovered a heavy limestone boulder with a large, bowl-shaped hollow ground into one side and two lines of alphabetic writing incised into the other side.

Israel in der altorientalischen Welt (Beihefte Zur Zeitschrift Fur die Alttestamentliche Wissensch, #444)
by Rudiger Liwak
Hebrew words in the Bible can be represented in more than one way, by the optional use or omission of letters such as W or Y, which may be used to indicate certain vowels. Every passage in every book contains variations of spelling: nowhere can standardization be found. This book analyses the problems, discusses the various types of words in which variant spellings occur, considers parallel passages, and suggests explanations of how the different spellings came to lie together on the same page,...
