The Name of Yahweh Engraved on an Ivory Pomegranate Decoration
Biblical
Archaeology Review, Jan.-Feb.
1990, page 49—"BAR recently published a beautiful
carved ivory
pome-granate with an important inscription on it. As
partially reconstructed, the engraved inscription around the neck of
the pomegranate reads as follows: "Belonging to
the House of
Yahweh Holy to the Priests." Based on this reading, many
scholars
have concluded that the ivory pomegranate originally came from the
Jerusalem Temple constructed by King Solomon."
