Summary
Lecture on Jerusalem in the days of the First Temple, based on inscriptions from the Ophel and Babylon. Doors open at 16:30 at Yad Izhak Ben-Zvi, 14 Ibn Gabirol Street, Jerusalem.
Descriptiontranslated from Hebrew (original)
Two inscriptions deciphered anew in recent years shed light on two aspects of Jerusalem during the First Temple period:
A. A fragment of an inscription engraved on a large pottery vessel discovered in the Ophel, near the foot of the Temple, announcing one of the ingredients of the incense that came from the Kingdom of Sheba.
B. A seal impression from Jerusalem and an inscription on a clay tablet from Babylonia that may tell the stories of two brothers from a Jerusalem aristocratic family at the end of the First Temple period.
