Sinai Inscriptions
Jeffrey makes the extraordinary claim that there are writings of the Hebrews from the time of the Exodus in Sinai. These are not Hebrew inscriptions from the time of the Exodus. These are Aramaic inscriptions from the time of the Nabateans who rose to political power after Alexander the Great conquered Persia. The Nabateans developed an elongated cursive style of Aramaic uncial (capital letters) block script (Harper’s Bible Dictionary 1985, 677). An example is seen on page 54 of Jeffrey’s book. The volumes of Corpus Inscriptionum Semiticarum have carefully documented the inscriptions in Sinai. The inscriptions are transliterated into Hebrew and translated into Latin.
Another book entitled The Inscriptions of the Sinai (Part 2) by Alan Gardiner and T. Peet contain translations and commentary of the Egyptian hieroglyphic inscriptions in the Sinai. There are no accounts of the Hebrews wandering in the Sinai.
There is a detailed account of these inscriptions at
Verifying the Signature of God.
