The '''Mount Ebal curse tablet''' is an inscription made on folded lead found on Mount Ebal in the West Bank, near Nablus. According to a multidisciplinary team from the U.S., Israel, Czech Republic, and Germany, who studied and analyzed the artifact, it would be the oldest known Hebrew inscription, preceding the [[Khirbet Qeiyafa ostracon]] by at least two centuries. The use of the term YHW would define the inscription as early hebrew and not Canaanite.

The Mount Ebal curse tablet is an inscription made on folded lead found on Mount Ebal in the West Bank, near Nablus. According to a multidisciplinary team from the U.S., Israel, Czech Republic, and Germany, who studied and analyzed the artifact, it would be the oldest known Hebrew inscription, preceding the Khirbet Qeiyafa ostracon by at least two centuries. The use of the term YHW would define the inscription as early hebrew and not Canaanite. [1] [2]

The lead was analyzed at Hebrew University by Professor Naama Yahalom-Mack, using bits of the tablet that had broken off. The lead is consistent with ore from Lavrion, Greece. The deciphering was undertaken in a collaboration with scientists from the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, the epigraphers Pieter Gert van der Veen of Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz and Gershon Galil of Haifa University; along with Ivana Kumpova, Jaroslav Valach, Daniel Vavrik, and Michal Vopalensky.
