Shapira & The Siloam Inscription – Giving Shapira Credit Where Credit is Due
In The Moses Scroll, Ross presented evidence that Moses Wilhelm Shapira was involved in early efforts to decipher the Siloam Inscription. In this video, Ross and Jono discuss the details from 19th Century reports that prove beyond doubt that Shapira was the first to recognize the meaning of the ancient inscription and was correct about one reading when other contemporary scholars were initially wrong. His contributions have never been recognized or appreciated, but we set the record straight, giving credit where, in THIS case, credit is LONG overdue.
Thank you for your enlightening analysis on this matter. I could listen to truth2u every day. I check the site regularly for new content. I’m waiting for a long talk/debate on the Moses Scroll regarding the implications of the text and how it begs the question about the commandant to not add or subtract from the sacred Law and if indeed that was done with reckless abandon in the ancient times. I can’t think of anything more controversial. I also hope some Jewish heavy hitters will weigh in on the matter. Shalom.
Hi Charles,
Thank you for your comment. Ross and I will be returning to the program next week. You raise an excellent question and the answer is indeed controversial. Stay tuned!
