Thanks, Peter.

It was interesting reading the stone. I took the image into photoshop and 
adjusted it to make it easer to read.

The Moabite language looks so similar to Hebrew that it could almost have 
been called a dialect of Hebrew at that time. It looks as if the peoples 
could have understood each other, sort of like modern Norwegians can 
understand Swedes and visa versa. Like the “Elohim papyrus”, the plural 
endings have nun where the Hebrew has mem.

Does anyone need a transcription into Aramaic square characters, or is the 
image sufficient?
