Ancient Hebrew writings
Ancient Hebrew writings are texts written in Biblical Hebrew using the Paleo-Hebrew alphabet before the destruction of the Second Temple during the Siege of Jerusalem (70 AD). The earliest known precursor to Hebrew, an inscription in the Paleo-Hebrew alphabet, is the Khirbet Qeiyafa ostracon (11th–10th century BC), if it can be considered Hebrew at that early a stage. By far the most varied, extensive, and historically significant body of literature written in Biblical Hebrew is the Hebrew Bible, but other works have survived as well. Before the Imperial Aramaic-derived Hebrew alphabet was adopted circa the 5th century BC, the Phoenicia-derived Paleo-Hebrew alphabet was used for writing. A derivative of the script still survives as the Samaritan script.
