Yigal:

Thanks for the thorough summary of Hebrew scripts.

Aren't there also some DSS items in paleo-Hebrew, including a large
fragment of Leviticus?

Thanks,

sacred
Hebrew texts existed in the pre-exilic period (i.e. the Iron Age) were
written in "Paleo-Hebrew" or "Old Hebrew" script. However, NO such texts
have survived, except for two small silver amulets that were unearthed in
Jerusalem and contain what looks like a form of a few verses from Numbers
and Deuteronomy, and these are indeed in "Paleo/Old-Hebrew" script.
