jim, i must say i admire your imagination. your idea of a huge pile of clay tablets (say, a hundred?), written by moses in akkadian cuneiforms, carried along with the covenant through the desert, and lying unobserved in a dark corner of the jerusalem temple till around 600-650 BC, is worthy of indiana jones.
so, according to you, both moses and yoshiahu (in II Kgs 23:2) were fluent in akkadian cuneiforms!!! so my question is, then: why did yoshiahu need the scribe's help in Kgs 22:10 to begin with? he could read the book himself! nir cohen
