Relation to the Biblical Text

Epigraphic studies of Transjordanian texts provide insight into the past that can inform multiple fields of study, including religious studies, linguistics, historical sociology, anthropology, and history. The texts are of particular value to studies of the Bible for several reasons:

• Comparative linguistic studies of these texts can aid in the translation and interpretation of specific biblical texts.

• The texts provide historical and cultural understanding, which enables a better understanding of the biblical authors’ perspectives and sometimes corroborates biblical people and events.

• The epigraphic artifacts can aid and improve the historical study of biblical events, people, and concepts (e.g., Israelite religion).
